Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 11, 2011 at 4:38pm: leslieo: That is SUPER fantastic!!!!! I bet you are bursting at the seams with pride. Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us.

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 11, 2011 at 4:18pm: Finally got our gate pass printed. Of course my husband kept putting in the password wrong and I am like just move, I will do it. lol Finally he did do it right and I said print off a few and he said I will just go ahead and make you happy and print off 5...I said that will do. hee hee

cclivingston: So glad to hear that your son's leg is better so that he could take his final PFA.

lamarmama: I made some comfort food today, chocolate chip cookies...mmmm

Comment by cclivingston on April 11, 2011 at 3:57pm: I received a letter today that my son's leg is all better and he was going to be able to take his final PFA which was last Friday. I'm sure he passed!! He mentioned he was going to have an extra special time in the confidence chamber due to having a bad cold, but was thinking positively about it saying, "maybe it will clear up my sinuses" LOL All in all, he sounded confident and I feel much better about everything as well.......Counting down the days!!!

Comment by janlee on April 11, 2011 at 3:42pm: lamarmama---so glad to hear he passed his fitness test. I know they really stress over that. As do we...their pain and anxiety is our pain and anxiety...lol..celebrate by breaking out the chocolate..or wine..(or both).. whichever makes you relax more...

Comment by Lamarmama 09/139 on April 11, 2011 at 2:58pm: Got passes printed out, plane tickets bought and a phone call yesterday to tell me his leg is healed and that we passed our PT test. I was so excited due to the fact that the letter I received on Friday was not as good. All is well now and time for celebration.

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 12:46pm: Up until PIR.

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 11:48am: MaryJune: If you send as late as the 18th, they probably won't receive them. As Janlee said, we veterans recommend that letters stop 10 days before PIR, but if you want to continue sending them, then make copies of those and take them with you in case they didn't arrive. The mail supposedly is forwarded to your sailors, but we know of many letters that never arrived.

ALL CAPS on the password. Those having trouble printing the gate pass....try downloading google chrome or mozilla firefox....usually solves any issues.

Comment by Megs-Sailor Wife on April 11, 2011 at 11:36am: Morning everyone! :-) I just printed out the gate pass.......I printed out 6...ya know just in case lol! Too many??? ;-)
