Son was in 11/244 then injured sent to RCU
Well I am so happy for you ladies getting to see your boys soon, my son was so disappointed when he hurt his knee and had to ship out of his division more so probably than I was NOT I was so looking forward to seeing him PIR on the 5th he was so proud of his brothers in his division its killing him sitting there not being able to continue on with them. By the grace of god he wasn't slated for seperation only delayed for who knows how long right now but I know he was so proud of 11/244 and I keep playing trivia for them too. Please keep in touch and keep me posted on their progress GO NAVY WOOOOOT.

I sent two, not sure what happened. Anyway, light that blue candle for me and my son tonight! I got a call at 6:00 pm, and he is out of RCU, finished his work and they are sending him to battlestations tonight! If all goes well he will ship out Saturday, and be able to catch up to his DIV and continue on with them. Wouldn't that be a miracle! Here is my email if you want to contact me that way. Lisavdz16@yahoo.com. the L should be lower case

I have been wondering how your son's knee is doing. It's been a sad day for our Navy community and I was just hoping for a little bit of good news update on your SR.

Well as they say no news is good news I haven't heard from him this week soooo? I to have been saddened by the news of the seals I lite my blue candle all day and night for them and their families. It has been a hard week he should have PIR'd this Friday but.... it's not our decision to make only the good lord knows how it will turn out. I just pray he will heal soon and be able to continue with his dreams. Thanks for remembering us today.

I am praying for your SR's speedy recovery...we don't know why these things happen but rest assured our Lord does. If everything goes well he will become a Sailor and PIR with another division (I know it is a disappointment not to go through with those that he had been with) and it will still be a wonderful day maybe even more wonderful because of the set-back...the only thing I know is that what ever happens...it is exactly what is suppose to happen according to God's plan. Meanwhile, pleas know that this mom is praying for a great outcome for your son!
