My daughter is in DIV 100. She'll be headed to FL for A school. So far I've received the "I made it" call and then a five minute call last Saturday. Her voice was music to my ears. The pay phone was awful. I had to concentrate really hard to understand what she was telling me, but she seems to be doing well. She said that her group was having to work extra hard as some of the SR are struggling with the physical requirements. It also seems the division is sharing a nice winter cold. Not the kind of team work someone looks forward to, but every division seems to be taking a turn. I am hoping to find a letter in my box today. Dang, I miss that kid but I take comfort in hearing her tell me she is still really happy with her decisions. She gave a shout out to all the people she worked with in the recruiting office and DEP. She said they were an intricate piece in preparing her for what to expect and also gave her tools that are allowing her to wrap her mind around key concepts fairly easily. I purchased our flights yesterday and can hardly wait to see her in uniform, less a child and more a woman.

My son is also in Div 100 and has said the same thing. He said the division is struggling and they are having to work extra hard. He will be going to Maryland for A school as an MC and he is very ready for boot camp to be over. He was very fit and had been training for 7 months, so I think he is having a hard time adjusting to the "team work" approach. I have talked with him once and it was a very bad connection with lots of noise on his end and I have received two letters. I really hope I get to talk to him this weekend again. Congrats for your daughter and we will be seeing you in March....

We received a phone call from my Son today. He is on Ship 11 Div 099. Sounds like Div 100 shared the same cold with Div 099. My son was changed from a flag holder to a Section Leader. This must be a good thing. Sounds like Div 099 is working hard and trying to figure out how to work together. His section earned a "free" phone call today because they followed directions yesterday. We have our tickets purchased and hotel reserved! Can't wait for PIR!

Got a wonderful call from my SR today she sounded wonderful! Seems like div 99 is finally coming together and doing great she did say there are some other shipmates who are not receiving any mail. I'm heading over to the dollar store to pick up some motivational greeting cards for them. I thought I'd pass the idea along maybe together we could make sure they all get a boost of support.

That's a good idea. Sounds like our kids are in the same Div.

Less than 30 days! I'm getting very excited. I'm sure the divisions will be getting things more in order this week! They all have to learn to work together the Navy way! We are sending lots of letters of encouragement. My son said in his last letter that he wants a good meal and hood coffee when they are on liberty after PIR! STARBUCKS HERE WE COME!

Good Afternoon All
Wanted to pass on a couple of notes from Sarge for when you get to your hotels. A lot of parents decorate their hotel room doors in support of their Sailors PIR. So lets rock those doors with some RED WHITE AND BLUE!!! He is asking that you also pass the word about the Meet and Greet at the Sundance Saloon to everyone coming so he can get an accurate head count. This is a family oriented get together with a full buffet, DJ and raffles and prizes. He is asking that you RSVP as soon as possible so he can account for plenty of food.
***We are looking for donations of raffle baskets or raffle items and volunteers to help with the distribution of name tags and the selling of raffle tickets before dinner. Please let me know if you are interested.***
He also asked that I pass on something fun for our divisions. This is new for our PIR Meet and Greet the DJ will be asking all willing moms and grandmothers to come to the dance floor and each division. Then we will dance to the song “In the Navy”. The winning moms of their division of this dance contest will win a gift certificate for division t-shirts from US Boot Camp Gear. So lets show those other divisions that we got moves!
