My daughter has requested the package that she is allowed to receive before PIR. The contents are light make-up products. How soon should/can I send it and are there any special instructions I should follow?

Hello Friends!
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7

TJRsProudMom. There have been some in the past on this site who were afraid that their SR would be "changed" from the person she/he was. Of course, that does not happen....watching them at PIR is amazing....you will see the one you love, as perfect as they were before Bootcamp, in a new and improved way! The only thing is....they may seem "spooked" for a while after PIR. That is because they had been under such control for so long...told everything to do, say, etc....that with the "freedom" of being off base, they feel a bit uncomfortable. They are given lots of rules to follow during Liberty and many, including my son who had always been the class clown....sigh, are afraid they will break one of the rules (they are told that they are being watched in the community, and they are, so they have to do the right thing). They are told the consequences of breaking the rules!
I always get excited for each PIR group on their PIR day...knowing what a wonderful memorable day it will be for the families and the sailors!

Jennblue - glad to hear I'm not the only one! I'm off to check the FB page again right now before we go out to walk the dog! I think part of the compulsion for me - besides the obvious - is that he's going to be so different when I see him at PIR, and I want to get one last glimpse of my boy before I meet him as a young man and Sailor.

TJR's Proud Mom, I so relate with your vent and so glad I can do it here!!l! I must check that Facebook page 3 times a day! Ugh! I'm so proud and so glad for our son and more then a bit impatient for these 19 days to go by a bit quicker! I read some of the new mom of Sr's comments, those just getting their box or waiting for the address so they can mail out their letters, in an attempt to remind myself how close we are to graduation now, but it didn't help. I know we are close and I'm excited that we are in the teens now with our countdown, but it feels like forever since my son left! I am certainly lacking a virtue now! Ugh!
