I need an answer to this, can anyone help? Where do I go to request a wheelchair for my mom. She had her knee replaced last month and would feel better getting around with one. I know they should be available, but how do I reserve one. Thanks ladies, hope you all had a good Veterans; Day.

It's great knowing good bacteria like you all. Guess I should be thinking about bedtime. Tomorrow comes so fast, and no matter how much I try to get ready ahead of time, I'm always running late. It was great laughing!

I know that I will be a mess. Not to be gross, but my snot will probably freeze while we're waiting outside, because I will be emotional before it starts. ha

Just finished watching a musical tribute for Veteran's Day. Made the tears come when they sang the military themes and God Bless America. At the high school where my husband teaches (a small, parochial one) they honored veterans today. He said it was very moving. Happy Veterans' Day to you all!

Well, I've lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Kansas, Colorado, and back to Minnesota. I do not like sleet or freezing rain. It's very hard to drive in and I don't want to miss PIR! I'm content with the cold and snow for the next 10 days as long as the 20th and 21st are good. Ladies, you would take cold over the rest any time, believe me. Craig did say they got their pea coats. He also said that he was doing ok with the 30degree temps, but the guys from down south were freezing. He has thick blood, like his father. ha

By the way, I just read a comment on another group that is was sleeting in GL the past Friday!!

Hey Kathy, The 19th, wow that is so close to PIR. You moms in Arizona are really going to be feeling the cold, remember Chicago is the windy city. I was watching a football game from Chicago this past Saturday, wow those fans were freezing!!

Barbie, you can see snow later. We don't want to drive in it or get snowed in here in Minnesota and miss PIR. Sorry.The cold will be enough fun.

Janet,
Congratulations to your son and his division, good work!!
Marie,
I heard from a mom who's son graduated a month ago that he was taking a course in GL, the ATT course, and because of that she found out a couple of days before PIR that he was a grad and go. However, since he was actually staying at GL he just moved to a different section after PIR and then got overnight liberty for the weekend!.
Helene,
One of the moms in our group division 008, found out his battlestations will be on November 16th, I assume her son told her.
Tina, An hour with Robby, how cool, good for you, boy after waiting so long you deserved that!!!
