TC....I agree. I dropped my Video right before PIR started so I am thankful I at least have this BUT we were the last division to the right and did not see much of them during video and I dont like that they cut stuff out...I thought it would be the entire PIR and they would scan the divisions more.

My son finished A School today. He graduates on Friday. He got honor grad which earned him a promotion and a recommendation to advance to E4 in 4 to 10 months. So proud of him. Now the waiting starts all over again (because all orders to Japan are on hold) and he can't take leave until they release the hold or give him new orders.

Ellen S...He is at Corry Station in Pensacola Florida for CTN.
