We received a letter from our son today. He and some others in Ship 09 Div 160 had been working on pushups, etc. together. Sounds good! He was looking forward to PFA (should have already happened) and Battle Stations. He's pumped. I'm sure yours is, too. Just think, in a week we will be in Chicago going beddy-bye to get ready for PIR on Friday!
Mine is going to Charleston, SC, to Nuke school. How about yours?

Scout92, Your sailor will leave the RTC sometime in the wee hours of Saturday morning, and bused to the airport. On Sat. you can go to the airport and wait with him at the gate until he leaves, don't try and leave too early on Sat as you may have several hours together at the airport.

Just came by to see if anyone has checked in. It has been a week since PIR. and what a week. We made it to PIR and it was a great experience, all sort of feelings. Pride, joy, exhaustion, and overwhelming of all that was in traveling and getting there, sadness of leaving him again. My sailor is in Pensacola waiting for class to start. We talk daily which is such a difference from Boot Camp I also know that will change when he gets his duty station but for now I am enjoying it. I hope all is well with your sailors and you.
