Don't believe everything your recruiter tells you. There have been 3 people saying that they have gotten letters or their child has told them there is going to be a PIR on 12/22 and my recruiter was talking about it to me earlier... so let's start a PIR 12/22 group... I can do it or someone else can.. don't matter.

Jessica,
Kathy and I talked about me being the one to do it. I have been helping out here a lot. The PIR isn't going to be on 12/22 according to my recruiter. It will be after Jan. 2nd. :-( So if you will tell me what I need to do to open the window, I think I can figure out the other stuff, I did a lot of it here.
Thanks for the help!!
Nancy

All of Div 906 got a earned phone call for doing so well. So proud of them. Didn't Phoebe also get a call from her son in Division 906. I will check. Hugs. K

Nancy, before "T" left I talked to the recruiter and the "bigger" guy (don't remember his title) he said "T" would graduate in December and have time off....so Betsy's right we need to be cautious and patient and just wait for the form letter or our boy's to call and say "hey I'm graduating today where are you"...Patients I think I will pray for some tonight.

I can't keep up; my worksheet is at home with everyone's ShipDiv information so I don't know who is in 12/17; WOW, really, not until January - Joseph's mom received her LETTER and her PIR is listed as 12/22 so hang on girls; you may be before the Holidays! Her son can't be the only one graduating that day. Go back and read her post on our 10.25 discussion pages. ((HUGS))

My son was in bc over the Christmas holidays last year...he was there for Thanksgiving too. Bummer...I know they got some down time due to the holidays...which made them have to be there longer. But he didn't complain...at least, not to me!
