Things to ask your recruits when they call:
-->WHAT DAY OF TRAINING ARE YOU ON RIGHT NOW?<--
Do you know yet if you will be Grad and Go (or not). If yes, do you know what day you will leave?"
If they are shipping out to another school Friday, Would you prefer family to be at PIR, or would you rather have us meet at your school?
Do you need/want contacts/glasses mailed to you before PIR?
(for girls) Are you allowed to recieve a package of your preferred brand of "feminine necessity." If yes, do you want me to send one?
Have you taken your weapons qualification test yet? If yes, did you earn a ribbon?
What kinds of things do you want to plan for PIR weekend? What do you really want to do?
Do you a recruit petty officer? If yes, what is your job/title?

Hey PIR 2/18 Team....its been awhile since I have chatted with ya! I was away last week at my company's 2011 Kick Off. Guess what came in the mail on 1/6....3 letters from my sailor. I couldnt wait to get off the plane in NY and read them. My mom read them to me over the phone, but it wasnt the same, I needed to read them.
Then guess what...I got my phone call TODAY!!!! I was soooo happy...we had my sailor speaker phone so hubby, lil brother and grandma and papa could say hello. It was a fast 13mins, because he only had 30mins and wanted to speak to his sweetheart too. I finally feel a little connection, Graduation cannot come fast enough. I am still on Cloud 9!

I got a call!! She sounded more mature and "cool" confident. This was very different for her. She still doesn't like boot camp and wants to come home, but she is doing ok. She likes the food and can eat whatever she wants except for dessert. She had some dental work done, but does not need to get her wisdom teeth now, they will do that at a later date. It was so good to hear her voice. I just miss her so much, and can't wait for PIR on 2/18.

I got my phone call. It was good to hear his voice, but he is still very homesick. He says is doing well and doesn't think it is too difficult. He is just having trouble adjusting to being away from his family. Still, he sounded strong and determined to get through. I just wish he were happier.

No letter today, but...my recruit called tonite!! It was total hysteria in my home! My husband was yelling "caller ID says pay phone. Area code 847". I was running around looking for the phone, then pressed the wrong button and about hung up on him! Still shaking!
He passes a pt test and another test with flying colors, so he earned the call.
He says things are going real well. A lot of marching, studying, folding, and the worst is standing at attention for 2 and a half hours. Sleep is very little for him since he is division leader...a good night is 5-6 hours and a bad (usual) one is 4 hours.
He is counting down the days till graduation...37 and really looking forward to seeing everyone!
I hope others in his division also got to call home! Sounds like there were!
I wish all of you ladies a call tonite!!

I think we need a list to go by like those questionaires on the website. Just someone put together a list of something or other and we all go off it. :)

DeeBee- I stopped wearing mascara a long time ago. That could be another reason people think I am coming down with a cold. Which you rather look at track marks or no makeup poeple? I don't have to look at myself all day they do. LOL
Hey if the calls are going in DIV order we may still get a call tonight! I can't help but hope.

I was so excited to get a call today from my boy!!! He called around 2:20 central time and sounded FANTASTIC. Go figure, he likes BC! He said the food is excellent (not surprising with my cooking skills), and he passed his PSA. He still has his wisdom teeth but he was told they would be pulled during A school.
