Hi, PIR 10/1 ladies! I got a phone call today! So excited to hear my recruit, he sounded good and I even let him have some of "MY" time to go ahead and call his dad too. I was talking to the guidance counselor on the phone about a student and my cell rang, when I saw the area code I screeched, it's my son from BC and I hung up on her. She understood! :-) No, I had no students in my room at the time. ;)
Sounds like all of the divisions have some 'bad eggs'; hopefully these twits will wise up.
Sharon, praying that Tiff gets a rate she wants, was her heart set on the one she signed up for? There are sooooo many jobs that I am confused by them all; hopefully she'll find one that will make her happy. Many (((hugs))) to Tiff!

No, he didn't call but I am just wondering if he got in or not. I don't know what his other choices were, if he even had any. We waited in DEP for this reason, so that he could get this rate. I mean, if they change it, it VOIDS his contract of anything we were promised or whatever. So now I am seriously concerned because his contract had specific things that were signed off on. We were told that if his rate changes, that the contract is VOID. I will be seriously irritated.

Ladies, be careful what you post on here...NO last names of anyone and no personal info about Navy personnel! Not a good idea!

My husband also said something about a possible rate change. I too thought this would not change from what he Dep'd in as...but I guess anything is possible!
