kkcs46,
diannep should be along shortly to answer your question about Battlestations on Veteran's Day for sure. Personally, I would think not though...
You probably should not mail any more letters. Today would have been the absolute last day for SRs to receive letters by Thursday~~
Does anyone know if we can still send letters?
Hi: Does anyone know if they do battlestations on Veterans Day?
Thanks, kkcs46
Lala,
I'd love to hear details of your Great Lakes adventure too!!

Wow, Lala....so happy for you! What a treat! Ok, share with us what you learned! Especially your other N4Moms veteran team members to make sure we are sharing proper info! Thanks!
Good morning everyone. I am so sorry I have been MIA. I just returned from Great Lakes for 7/7 PIR :) Two of the other PIR facebook group admins and myself went there to gather information to better help all of you get through the boot camp experience. We have some friends there who gave us a tour of the bases and see how it all works. It was amazing. We went to the blood drive and donated blood (my first time ever) lol. We got to go to the NEX, we saw the photo lab, the phone banks, the chapel and we sat in the lobby of the Navy Lodge everyday greeting families as they arrived and talking to Sailors after PIR. We also went to Sarge's meet and greet and had a wonderful time. We went to several restaurants and toured several hotels to see where the best places to stay were and where to avoid. I even took the train into Chicago and then a cab to the aquarium and the Navy Pier. It was all so much fun and I am very pleased with the info we were able to get. I know it is going to help us help you even more than ever before. It was a great time :)
It is very common for some divisions not to be working together as well as they should be. I am sure they will be fine and get it together very quickly. They can see the light at the end of the tunnel now :) I doubt they combined the two divisions, they were already brother divisions and train together but in 4 years I have never seen them combine 2 divisions.
Good Morning!
