Eileen:  On the pictures, I would print them on a sheet of paper, front and back...you get more on that way and it is easier for them to store in their limited space.

Here are the brother divisions for this PIR group:

63+64, 65+66, 67+68, 69+70, 71+72, 73+74

They train together with their brother divisions.

Bexwest..he will feel better soon. I didn't think my son wanted to continue this either after I got his first letter. But the one I got today was much better. Then I got his phone call and he said it's going much better. I was thinking he thought he made the wrong decision also, but I was incorrect. He said he can do this and he'll kick butt doing whatever they give him. Write the letters of encouragement and he'll realize what he's doing is a great experience.

I was at work and had a patient in my office, I was calling another office trying to get some records when I got my call. We have just been talking about my daughter and I was on hold with the other doctor. When the call came in on my phone the patient knew it was her. She took the other call and handled like she had been doing it forever. I cried, she cried, we laughed and she is so glad I'm bringing her muffin to see her. Muffin is her poodle. lol Mary she said hello and Lex has told her all about the scarves we are going to be wearing. They passed some test and got a flag. Tomorrow is my letter day. Yea!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I almost missed his call. He called me cell when I was at work, about 10 mins before I left work, and I was in the bathroom so I didn't hear it. Then driving home I almost didn't hear it because the radio was too loud. FYI..keep the phone ringer loud or turn the radio down lol. He did call the house and talk to my husband too. That was cool. He said he had till 1600 to finish making calls. I talked about 10 mins but that's okay. I just wanted to hear his voice.

He's passed all the tests they've given him...folding, making his rack, shining boots and the UMCJ test. I'm a proud mama.

I finally got another letter...and I got a phone call! Yay!!!! He sounds so good. He said they've had some IT and that wasn't fun, but he survived. His first letter he sounded so homesick, but in this letter (dated 12/31) and talking to him, he sounded 100 times better.

 

The food is awesome. He said "you know what's good? Peanut butter with bananas. They eat a lot of peanut butter there." I've told him before that it was good, but he didn't believe me.

 

They got their dress uniforms yesterday. He had one cavity filled on Jan 27, then two more today. He didn't have to have his wisdom teeth pulled though. I sent him a phone card, but he had already bought himself one at NEX. Oh well, he can use them whenever he gets another call or take it to FL for A-school.

 

He said if they really get on the RDC's nerves, they get to "make it rain" or get an "ice cream social". Making it rain is closing all the doors and windows and doing IT until everything gets wet from the condensation and water drips from the ceiling. The ice cream social is when they put an ice cream bar on a plate and IT until it melts. Luckily they haven't had to do that yet.

 

Other than that, he sounds good and I am sooo happy right now. A letter and phone call in one day. I'm on cloud 99 right now. He's only gotten one letter from me so far, I've written like crazy, but it takes a lot longer to get to him than one does coming from him to me. They have all the ships and divisions that have to be sorted. His was postmarked 1/3, so it only took two days to get here, IL to MI.

 

Thanks for whoever was doing the mail/phone call dance lol

 

Letters and calls will come to others. I didn't think I'd get one either. Wow, I am soo happy.
