We just got a phone call too! He said that he had a twenty minute call...13 min with his girl and 7 minutes with us. His speech was so precise. It was great to hear his voice! He said that he had tests, and inspections last week. He said that he needs to work on shoe shining. He said that he has more studying to do, Battlestations is on Aug. 29th. He said that the swimming PT was the toughest that he had ever experienced. We are even more psyched for PIR!!!!!!!

I also recieved a call today My SR sounded very upbeat! Says he got 5 out of 5 on his inspection. Says he got the info on ordering pictures that are suppose to be taken next week. He also talked about shooting said he did great at it. Can't wait only 18 more days!

Thanks for the info about pictures, dvd and shooting. Shooting...hmmm I knew they did it but just never gave it another thought. I'll ask about it in my next letter. I think that I read somewhere about a Meet and Greet at the Ramada Inn on the evening of August 31. Do we need to make reservations? Is it for families too? Let me know what I can do to help!

Hi ladies, ya'll are nearing the end. You have Captain's Cup, Battlestations and then PIR.YEAH!.
About the wisdom teeth, they don't want anyone to have an impacted tooth or some other problem that is common to wisdom teeth while they are deployed and it is harder to take care of so they take them out in BC.
About the Meet n Greet- The Ramada in Waukegan hosts it every week and it is for everyone- family,friends, etc.Someone usually posts a place to RSVP on the events in the column on the right, but it isn't required as it is open to all of the Navy Families. The other hotels usually give out info about it to families as they check in. It is always fun to wear a certain color scarf or pin or something to id each other easily at the M & G and PIR.
Have fun!

You and your mom have a valid photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc...). For your 6 year old, you will also need ID infor, it may be a school ID, Social Security Card or copy of birth certificate. Good luck with your travels!

Thanks for the info. Not surprised at the reasoning for pulling wisdom teeth. We are hoping to get into Waukegan in the late afternoon, in time to check in and get to the M & G! Hard to believe only 12 more days until

It won't be long now until you get to see your recruits or should I say Sailors? Captains cup will be a week from Saturday and that is a great day for them to just have fun and relax a little bit. And usually the winners get an extra phone call and that is always good so good luck to all your recruits :-)
I have had a bunch of messages from people wanting to know if it is too late to order ribbons and I thought it would be easier to tell you here rather than email each person separately. It is not too late to order the ribbons to wear to PIR. Just click on my name and send me a friend request if you want more info. Thanks, I have all your recruits in my prayers <3
