Bandito's Mom,
Where on the RTC site did you see the discussions?
Skyler - What's MY excuse...I already went through PIR! LOL
I'm always silly:
1ProudNavyMom -This is from RTC FAQ:
Award winner and honor recruit families are contacted separately by Recruit Training Command via U.S. mail to let them know their recruit has won an award. While every recruit has accomplished a wonderful milestone that should be rewarded, if families are not notified, their recruit has not won an award.
I don't know when they actually send out the notifications for Honor Grads...but it will be posted on RTC website two days before PIR under "Families-Graduation-Honor Grads" I will make a discussion for it and post the link.
PROUDNAVYWIFE - Did you look for me on chat...to chat LOL?! I don't get on chat...sorry dear...just don't have time! You can always PM me...I know it's slower...let me look at chat...I guess you can do a private chat? Well...does anyone know how that works? Might be fun! See...I'm still learning too!
I've been somewhat MIA lately...have some stuff to tend too "off site" LOL that is occupying brain space. An issue with another group and a new PIR group starting...so my apologies. My niche is kinda of "info lady"...but I love chatting with you all and responding with you...I miss it...you ladies support me just as much as I support you. Will try to be back in full swing soon...I do read...just can't post as much.
Here's some fun stuff!
