Did any of your SR's say that they were told that they could only have 3 guests at graduation because of other Divisions being moved up into their group?

This is not true. When RTC sets the guests per SR, that is the amount of guests allowed, so it is definitely 4 guests like listed at the top of this PIR group~~

My SR called, and I missed it! I'm so mad at myself. I was at work, had my phone attached to my uniform, but forgot to check to make sure that the sound was on. when she called, it went straight to voice mail. How could I not check my phone! She left a voice mail message and sounded really sad that I didn't answer. She said that this may be the last time she can call. Not sure if that meant today, or for the rest of boot camp. She did talk to my husband, but I know that she really wanted to talk with her mom. I hope she can forgive me :(

I am happy and I am still crying: he called, at 4 pm their time, I texted my oldest and he came over with two friends, we talked for about 15 minutes on speaker phone and he said he might be able to call tomorrow. He sounded so good! He said Sundays are the hardest, cause they write home and that makes them think about us and get all choked up!!! He has had three bunk mates based on Push unit and is making friends. Still taking meds for wisdom teeth but no cold. No DIv flag but they are creating ideas with no agreements. Still have work to do to come together as a division but thinks they are close. He's gotten our mail and asked for lots more! He sounded so much more like himself than the "I'm here" phone call when I balled like a baby for who knows how long. Just so you know... I don't cry, I teach seniors in High School and have to be tough... movies, now that's another thing, but this is killing me. He loved the manila envelope idea so I am sending tomorrow along with calling cards (3rd round) and 4 cards to SR's who have not gotten mail (could be more, but I did 4). Sent his Facebook pages and labels for his return address so it's easier to respond to everyone. Thank you all for all your hints and ideas! I wanted to send Emerged-C packets but he said, "please, NO, that might not be a good Idea"

Dannaproud: My SR didn't mention only 3 guests at PIR at all so please let me know if you hear anything more on that.
He said 365 is doing great and they have really come together as a Division. He did give me some nicknames/last names of his friends but I don't think too many on here are actually 365... :) He sounded really happy and that is what I needed to hear. He did also say that they "might" get another call today so keep your phones close just in case!!

I talked to Coedy twice this weekend was sssoooo good to hear his voice! He has boot camp crud and isn't sleeping a lot but he is hanging in there. Breeze me- I'm sure they would let us know if anything has changed for PIR. It's funny Coedy asked me what PIR was he said that a lot of people had been been it in letters and that the SRs were like what is PiR cause they just call it graduation! Thought that's as hysterical.
