Wooooohoooooooooo-he called me! He needed some stuff for his security clearance. Sounds GREAT. For his division - it is day one of their training. They were held up for 3 days. Whew. Happy-sooooooo happy to hear his very contented and serious voice.

I believe they will stay in GL for 1-2 more months after PIR.

I very much appreciate the feature that allows you to say STOP FOLLOWING !!   LOL  My mailbox went from 49 messages to 185 in about 5 hours! OMG!  Hehe. Thank goodness there's that feature. I didn't realize their was any other option though, other than right under the comment box. You all are so wonderful. I am so looking forward to getting that first letter so that I can see just how my SR is doing. Isn't it Tom Petty who sang, "The waiting is the hardest part" ?

Thanks for the heads up on the email settings. Wow that is a time saver. Hoping I get the "letter" today...so a quick question after PIR those who are going to BUDS..do they stay at GL for Pre-Buds? And for How long?

Most holidays are treated like a Sunday for the recruits. They get extra time off and and that means more time to write :-D It should definitely be a light duty day and I think those who have PIR today may be getting an extra day of liberty with their families. They are very lucky.

10 days in...no form letter and no mail; still thankful for just knowing his Ship and Division and for this site. I check this site right after FB! lol  Question:  Anyone know if the upcoming holiday on the 21st will be a light duty day for the recruits?  How are holidays handled?

48 More DAYS Mamas!  We're getting closer and closer to graduation, our first letter home, and our first real phone call!!  We have 37 members and I know there are hundreds probably on this PIR date.  If you have other friends who you'd like to join us her, post this link on your page.  Have a great weekend!  (Denise, wise choice!  She's probably just overwhelmed right now!)

Anyone who is getting overwhelmed with emails: to stop them look on the right side of the page you are on and click on settings, on the next page click on email, then you can click or unclick the items listed to follow or not follow whatever you want. I was getting 500 emails a day when I first joined this group and I had a hard time finding emails I really needed. Especially considering I knew which pages I wanted to follow and was on them every day anyway. I hope this helps :-)

Thanks K. I looked back through the posts and couldn't find the comment you asked about the ribbons but I sent you a private message too. I do have pics of the PIR ribbons on my page, just click on my name and it will take you there, scroll down until you see the pics. I also updated the pics. The black ribbons with gold letters are the ones that the special op's (800 div's) usually get and the other divisions almost always get navy ribbons with their choice of gold or silver letters. Thanks so much, I look forward to making the ribbons for you and your family to wear to PIR. :-D

Both were listed in the letter for the mailing address. I'll ask her, thanks!
