she will be ok. They are right there keeping an eye on her. but am keeping her and you in my thoughts and prayers.
My2Sailors' advice is right on. Please do not use your SR's first name on here...allowed but not recommended for identity purposes. RDCs do read these pages. Remember, this group is support for you all, not to give your SR any added pressure. So referring to your SR as my son, my daughter, my wife, my husband, etc...is much better. Please check screen names too...don't use names in there either. Last names are always forbidden on this site.
Also, if you hear from your SR and they have some special buddies there, and you want to know if the moms are on here, please post that you have info and add info like "anyone have a SR from (place) in division (number)?" Then if that person posts back, you can private message that person to see if that it the one. You can also check the pages of the ladies that post from that division and see what city they are from, then private message them if you think that is the one. We just need to make this site as anonymous as possible for the sake of the SRs!
Good Morning!
Okay...right now we have these reports of the current divisions.
009,...012, 013, 014, 015, 016, 803, 903. That's eight reporting in (though I know we don't have all the form letters arriving yet)...there will be a 010 and 011, and an 802 (as the last PIR group had 801) bringing this group up to 11 Divisions. There could be more...As soon as someone gets a form letter that is in 016 with the PIR date can you please post it on the main page here?
(800 divisions are SPECOPS)
Tank's Mom - You are welcome! We are happy to help out on the PIR groups!
Did you get the other weather widget link I found? I'll repost it.
Here is another weather widget. It doesn't do Great Lakes...but it does do Chicago. The scenery changes with the weather.
