Hello All, Just wanted to give a brief update on the "Yearbook". I called again yesterday and was told that we may have them next week. The reason being that they updated some of the sections and decided it was better to send them late then to send them with the old pages in there. PIR seems like a lifetime ago!!!

I'm sure you know this from your research, but there is NO cell service. My daughter bought a phone card to call. there is a bit of a delay in the line. To be expected I guess. internet is available on the island. She is waiting till her ship comes to get it there.

Good to know about the phone calls....you are right about little info about the island. Keep us posted on your daughter as I will on Josh. Good to hear from you.

She calls about once or twice a week. S will be 23 next month and she lived at home until she left.
I never thought of checking youtube for videos. There is not much info on the place to be found elsewhere.

Maussie, I watched some videos on you tube from the island and noticed that there weren't that many females in the videos. Josh is 20 (will be 21 in Dec) and he moved out for a year after high school. He was a boy scout and was away alot for that. Since bootcamp I have talked to him more than I ever did in his 20 years at home. Do you here from your daughter much? Josh figures he will be in GL for about 6 more months.

Josh's mom, I'm still not sure how I feel about it and she has been there for a month. She got there ahead of her ship, though.
I try not to dwell on the fact that she is there for at least a year. The males definitely outnumber the females. By a LOT.
But, in everything, attitude makes the difference. So he should be happy there.
How old is he? Did he live at home until joining?

Hey everyone, hope everyones families and Sailors are all doing well. I just talked to my son who is just finishing A school in GL for IC and he got his verbal orders today. C school in GL (he is not to happy about that) and then to Diego Garcia for 2 years and he is extactic about that. Maussie I think your daughter is stationed on a ship there. Josh will be land based he says. I now know how you feel, the middle of the Indian ocean on the other side of the world...WOW I don't know how I feel about this yet is very hard to wrap my head around this one. I am glad he is happy though. Big Navy hugs to you all!!!
