Darn it Betsy - that would have been a nice meet up - especially with my SR just leaving last week. Thanks to the moms who told me where that PIR video is..... I just watch it with tears in my eyes when I am missing my baby boy.
Gette- That's awesome!!! You're the first mom I've come across with the same ship and div. :o)
What is RCPO and what will the exhibition be?
Thanks Flbradybunch and FTLW!
Yes Flbradybunch, hopefully you will receive yours soon!
Hi everyone! I am so excited! I got the form letter and my daughter's 1st letter!!! I was so nervous opening the letter. I wanted so bad to hear how she was doing. I was praying today at work that I would receive at least the form letter to conform that the address I received from the recruiter's was correct. And it is!!! :O) She mentioned that it's tough but it's also fun. She said their commander's are impressed with her group and so they expect more from them. Talk about pressure. Anyway she sounds good and wants to received lots and lots of letters. She said the letters help their morale.
So ladies lets keep those letters flowing!!!
Oh, and I found out she is an Alto in the choir. :o)
