Yahoo!!! More progress on PIR.....my sister and her husband (who know a lot about Chicago - and can drive in the snow) said that they would drive me and my youngest up to the graduation!!! :-) I'm so glad, I wasn't looking forward to flying in and driving down in possible snow, at all.

"Digi's" are the new digital camouflage uniforms. Yep, how they look and how they eat, that's typical teenager/young adult for ya.

The picture is actually digital art, just a representation of a woman with a sailor at sea, watching for his return. I got it about 10 years ago, because I like it. It's just a detail from the larger scene.
Regarding the shots, I remember very well getting them and thinking it wasn't as bad as I expected. I was freaked out by the air guns, though, and the warning about how if you moved the jet would rip open the arm like a scalpel. I have never stood so still in my life! However, we didn't get the golf ball/peanut butter shot.

I got a letter! It was very upbeat, he says he is the Mail Petty Officer for the division. He says his favorite part of boot camp so far is the NWU (the blue camouflage uniform). "I look so good," he said. No, his ego hasn't been injured, lol.
He did say he got dizzy and light-headed after the shots, and that he had to be held up on the way hto his seat in the health lecture room. I feel sorry for the recruits who got that job, Chris is HUGE. He's also pissed that they aren't allowed dessert.
Div 100 is 100 percent male, he says, no girls. And he also says the food is edible and that they have plenty of time to eat.

:-) I didn't get one either so far. I'm getting desperate enough to go back and re-read the first one!! (which I had already read more times than I care to admit to!)
I'm looking right now at the Recruit Training Command website - it gives some videoes and other info which is helping me to feel a little more connected - at least for the moment. :-)

For those of you with kids in Div 100, please tell me the "Gomer Pyle" type they say is getting the division in trouble isn't also described as "really tall."

Janet, the Chicago lake effect is basically the same as spring upslope storms in Denver. Prepare the same way and expect the same kind of icky snow.

Oh man....
I might just break in two if I get a letter that is sad!!! Bracing myself!!! Thanks so much for the heads up.....
