Comment by janlee on April 18, 2011 at 5:52pm: mirror---I remember when i spoke to my sone after BS21. he told us that he would only be able to visit us for 3 hours after PIR, but when we got there, he was with us the whole day. i never brought it up to him because i knew from this site that sometimes they are told differently in there, and i didnt want him to worry...haha!

Comment by janlee on April 18, 2011 at 5:49pm: mirror--not again!!! haha! First of all...congratulation!! and second...maybe its true. There must be a reason for them to only have base liberty, did you talk to other moms from that division? maybe they have some input. i know ive said that before, but im not sure of your response, i probably missed it..lol Im hoping you get some time alone with him...i do remember you saying that you live so far away from BESS, that visiting him right away could be hard...

Comment by janlee on April 18, 2011 at 5:45pm: anna- i just did the same thing..lol My B-day was on Saturday, and i completely forgot about it because my son was home on leave. We took him to the airport to return back on friday, and he told me to have a good birthday, and sorry he was going to miss it, and i was like..'OMG,,,thats right...lol", i told him that i had the best birthday present ever, he was home for a week...:))

Comment by JennieO_Hunter's Mom on April 18, 2011 at 5:44pm: Congrats to all that have new Sailor's! How exciting! Think I'm gonna have to drink lots of wine tonight in order to sleep.....hopefully 147 will get calls tomorrow :)

Comment by MirrorMaiden88 on April 18, 2011 at 5:43pm: Just got off the phone with my husband,div 145...he's a sailor! Yay! But he said once again that the rdcs told his whole div they only get 2 hours of on base liberty! Does that really happen?

Comment by annamichael on April 18, 2011 at 5:39pm: So I JUST realized my birthday is Monday the 25th. I have been SO focused on the 22nd - PIR, 22nd - PIR, 22nd - PIR.. that I completely forgot! Well, doesn't matter anyways, because seeing him Friday is my birthday present. :)
