MommasHeart...my Sailor's PIR was 2 March.  I think his father got it on his recorder so I am going to see if he can't send it to me. Thank you soooo much!

We got back yesterday, it was an amazing weekend!  The ceremony itself is incredible, and my son had told me ahead of time exactly where he would be standing during the ceremony so we saw him instantly when they marched in!  They all looked so great, and so happy!  We went to lunch and then he wanted to go see a movie, so we saw Battleship--lots of fun!  Then went to the NEX that is off-base and huge!  On Saturday, he had one of the last flights to SC, at 7:15 pm, so my daughter and I got to hang out at the USO with him since everyone else had already left.  Nice relaxing visit with him!  It was great meeting SAMcJmom, Queenjailyle, and Keoquilts!  Sarge is great, too--definitely recommend his Meet & Greet!  Thanks to all of you for your support these last few months!  I will be back there again 7/6 for my other son's graduation!  It would have been nice to at least get to see him too while we were there, but I knew that wouldn't happen, but he got to make his first phone call to me while we were all there having lunch, so he got to talk with me, his two sisters, and his dad all at the same time!

Just got home to Az. PIR was amazing and it was so wonderful to see our son!! He is now off to Groton, Ct. for Basic sub and A school. I am so relieved that he now has his cell phone. H;e sbeen texting and calling off and on since he got there and seems to like it already. Thanks to all on the site for the support and guidance.

One bit of advice for future moms would be to find out about the photos. Our son ordered several frames and they are somewhat bulky. We had to pack up the photos and frames and check them in as luggage. Glad we were on Southwest, so it didn't cost extra.

Thanks and God Bless all of you and your sailors!!

Yeah, we made it! Hope everyone had a fantastic time with their sailors. I know I did. Even watching him sleep curled up in the hotel chair was nice. ;-)  I look forward to keeping in contact and finding out how everyone is doing.

Hello everyone, I got in last night from Chicago, what a wonderful weekend, enjoyed every second of it, after being without my sailor for 2 extremely long months. PIR was awesome, could not stop the tears of pride and joy, seeing him standing all tall and proud in his impeccable white uniform.  My sailor stayed at GL for his A-School so we spent Friday, Sat and part of Sun with him.  He was able to keep his cel phone, his lap top and even got himself an x-box and a monitor, he is on hold for his A-School until the 19th and will be there for 17 more weeks, so his roommates told him to get him some sort of  entertainment  or otherwise he would be bored to death. I got to walk all the way to his ship, was not able to actually go inside the ship, but at least got to see what he will be experiencing during his next 17 weeks while in school.  The base is huge we walked for like 30 min to get to his ship, they have their own little world in there. :).  The day of PIR he had to be in the bus by noon to move all of his stuff to the new location and it took about 2 hrs, after that we picked him up and the first thing he wanted was to eat Chinese food, and the second most wanted thing for him was taking a looonng nap on a REAL bed..(my lil angel) slept like a baby!!!, on Sat we picked him up at 6:30 am  went to the mall, and to the movies and drop him off at the gate by 9:00 pm to give him time to walk back to his ship and be there by 10:00 curfew time. On sun was different because we had to be at the airport by 4:00 to returned the rental and check in at the airport, so we took him back to base by 2:00 and my heart was just braking as I got closer and closer to that time :( (but I know he will be fine!!!). One thing I would do different is I would stay until Monday so I can  keep my soldier the entire day Sunday. Stayed at the Navy Lodge and it was wonderful specially how close it is to the base, about a five minutes drive..!!!!

 

I want to thank each one of you ladies out there who helped us go thru all this whole new world, with your support and experiences, may God bless you all and for those new Boot Camp Moms, it will get better and enjoy every second of you time with your sailor after PIR!!! they feel like a lil bird out of a cage and we feel like when the nurse gave you your boy to hold after birth, you will not be able to stop looking at your sailor and  feel this PRIDE and JOY much bigger than you!!!! TISSUES, TISSUES AND MORE TISSUES!!!!

 

Have a wonderful day!!!
