My son also missed his run by 30 secs. He said more than not didn't make it the first try. Don't worry he will do fine! :) What does IT stand for?

It means they got in trouble for something. Usually means they have to do extra PT.

Div. 119/120, I just wrote a book on the main wall for our PIR group. I am so excited that I got a call yesterday, I was away from my computor and couldnt post it before now. My son didnt mention the other recruits but our call was short and I had to share with my husband and daughter. It was nice to hear his voice even if he had a cold.

Got a call from my SR ship 12 DIV 120 yesterday. He sounds great. Tests have been going well, not sick, foods good. He is getting his 4 wisdom teeth pulled this week but won't be set back by it. Looking forward to snow watch from 2am-4am. Passed his swim test even after jumping in the pool with his glasses on. Made me laugh. His mom is over the moon right now.

My son is in Div 119. I haven't spoken to him, but he did get thru to his dad on Sat. He is doing well. Was frustrated that they had to hold some training up due to the division not being full and they were going to have to work hard to make that up. His dad said he seemed great other than he was being yelled at to get off the phone.
Maybe some of you veterans who have been to a PIR before can help. I am wondering if I should shuttle or taxi from O'Hare or if it just makes more sense to rent a car. I am trying to go the least expensive route, but a few posts have said rides from O'Hare can be over $50 one way. If that's really the case a car is probably best. Any help is appreciated. -

my hubbys div 119, it's so exciting to hear about all the other people with loved one in this division and I had no idea it was a brother division! I got a call Saturday too, sent out his first letters 2 days ago, hoping to start getting his letters soon.

Ok knowing mail is coming I'm gonna have to stalk the mailman. Trev said he was mailing letters on Sunday his first chance to get some out. Some past Pir moms said they looked on Thurs. and Fridays. Just hope he writes more than he likes to talk on the phone but I doubt it. We changed our hotel reservations after reading this past weeks PIR moms reports. We are at the Spring Hill Suites now. Can't wait just hope the weather is good. We are driving from Florida so it will be a long drive but so worth it.
