My Dear Beloved PIR groups,
Please forgive me for not being on much lately. I am afraid I just have to be away for a while as I have pressing things here at home. I do read every day and try to answer where I can.
I am so thankful to be able to be a part of a team of ladies where I know we support each other while trying to support all of you who are going through this. I am thankful for the wonderful group creators who step up and take care of their PIR groups...and all of you moms/wives/Fiancés/GF/BF/Aunts/Uncles/Dads/Grandparents/Siblings and Friends who support each other on here. This site is dear to my heart.
Right now I will continue to read and post where I can, focus on helping to start the new PIR groups, answer any questions specifically directed at me and be available for any and all private messages. Those will be my priorities… I am hoping to be back in full swing soon.
FTLW
Thank you for the arrival dates ladies...I am seeing from 03/29 to 04/04 so far.
oh and my son arrived at RTC on 4/3 and will attend A school in Great Lakes for advanced computer electronics
hello other parents. I got my form letter today and I am happy to say I can officially join this PIR group, I am sad because PIR falls on the same day as my younger son's high school graduation and being a single mom I am the only one he has to be there for him. I was thinking I could go to my SR's PIR then fly out in the afternoon but my sister suggested I miss PIR go to the HS grad and then fly out to get the weekend with my SR, his girlfriend and grandparents will be in attendance for the PIR...I don't want to miss it but I am kind of stuck between a rock and well you know
Hi Janet, my name is Tori. Yes, I do hope our boys get to know each other.
My son arrived at GL a week ago today and he is in Ship 11, Division 168. He too will be going to Pensacola FL for schooling. He is going to be a CTT.
