Good morning everyone, I got a message a couple days ago from a mom or wife who wanted some information on the ribbons I make to wear to PIR. She was in one of the March PIR groups. I think she changed her screen name so it wouldn't have her SR's name in it and now I can't figure out who she is. I f this was you, I found the other info you were looking for. We are already friends so all you have to do is send me a message so I know which one of my friends you are lol. I will send that info to you. If anyone else is my friend and has ordered ribbons for PIR from me please please please let me know if you change your screen name :) Thanks

LovinMa: Each A schools rules are different, and depending on your rate you might have to complete other schools b4 you can start your A school ex. I've been out of boot camp for 5 months but just started my A school this week b/c I had three other schools to complete b4 I could start my A school, and the rules on each base are different, like here our curfew was 10 for the first 5-6 weeks and from then on unless you get in trouble you don't have a curfew.

Morning everyone!

Keeping fingers crossed for all of us who are still waiting on form letters! ((hugs))

Short & sweet this morning, I have to go shovel (ugh).  Hopefully hubs RDCs see fit to send him out shoveling today too! lamo :D

@LOVIN MA:  The curfew during the week is at 10 in A School, at least was in my son's (Meridian).  I think they can still chat on the cell/laptop then, if they can get service in their rooms.  My son didn't have his laptop with him, but found he got better cell service outside.  And they can't go outside obviously after curfew.
Comment by diannep on January 27, 2011 at 8:33am
@CINDER:  Yes, I know what you mean.  My son got asmoed when there. He was upset because they fight to stay with their division, but things happen.  With him, it turned out to be a good thing because he was back with another division after a week...and he was more determined than ever to get through...and this division was more focused which helped him.  But, yes...had to change flights, etc.  Fortunate thing is:  the same flights were cheaper at the later date, so it was like the change fee was only half with the cheaper prices.
