Good Morning and Happy 4th to all!

Mandysmom: Most on here probably would want to go to Sarge's MeetandGreet the night before PIR for all in this PIR group. There will be good food and lots of info there. Then if some of you want to, you could go somewhere afterwards to get to know each other more! However, my guess is that most will want to get to bed soon after the MeetandGreet so that they are rested when headed to PIR early in the morning!

Thanks diannep. I'll go ahead and send it right now! I know he probably won't use it all, but in his letters yesterday he said that his was almost gone, and that he might get another call soon. So just in case I figured! Thanks

Hmmm, Bronco. Sounds like it IS activated to me. Better get it to him quickly since he is a sailor in just two more weeks! He can have his cell phone after that (once off of RTC...so either when at GL A School or at the airport when flying out... so he won't have need for the card after that....maybe can donate it to another SR still at Bootcamp then.
Good Morning All !

Hi all! So I just bought my SR another phone card to send to him because he said his was running low. I didn't activate the one he took so I am not sure how to do it. I bought this one from Walgreens. There is an 800 number on the back that I dialed, it had me enter the pin number on the back of the card and then prompted me to answer the pin number. I did, and after that it asked me what phone number I wanted to dial. So it seems like it is already activated? Help please!

MeridianMom,
Yep, Great Lakes A school Sailors get Friday afternoon (after moving over from RTC to TSC side), and all day Saturday and Sunday with you!! You will need to drop him back off to base about 10:00 pm each night. What a happy reason to adjust your plans!!
