Kitty and Mary, my son is with yours! I am trying to make plans for graduation and wondered what most did. There are so many options and I would love to meet my RI son's friend, Alex and his family. What are you ladies doing for PIR?

Hi Moms, I wondered if anyone knows how long the SRs will have to hang with family and friends if they are going to A school at Pensacola? Would they only get the rest of Friday and then have to be at the airport by midnight? I thought I saw that that would be the case. My SR's girlfriend won't be able to go if it's only that day they'd get to see eachother. :-(

Hi Nicksmom, I am sorry you have not heard from your son and his wife will not give you the address or division.
The best anyone can do for you is pass the message along that you are looking for him, and ask that he send you the information. The members here cannot pass that along to you!!

Hard to know for sure, but this may be division 111. I can only guess by the ship flag and what the division numbers might be, then compare to what division is in what ship right now. It appears to be division 1 something 1. :)

I am getting worried I have not heard from my son in two weeks? Are we still on for March 21st PIR? The last time I was able to talk to him he was getting a sore throat : (

Got a letter from Hunter on Sunday feeling much better this week!!!! He was in "Hell week" and said he have just been very busy and will not get to call again until Battle Stations! However he is doing fine, which helped me calm down. I start running 5K's to honor him and allow myself time to pray and think about him...You see he was a cross country runner and baseball player in High school, so I decided to honor him I would run cross country two to three times a week every week until I could see him again!!! This helps me cope with the loss of having him here.

@Pray for Hunter, my SR is in div 112 also. I am late at joining this site but it really helps to see that everyone is having the same concerns I have not had a phone call in a few weeks.:(
I think it is really cool that you are honoring your son by running 5ks. :). Keep it up!
I can't wait for PIR!!! -
