Comment by beachmom on February 19, 2010 at 1:43pm: has anyone from the 808 gotten a letter yet besides the form letter yet? Wondering if they've been able to write yet. Looks like the other divisions have gotten a letter out, but haven't seen anthing from anyone in 808's yet. The waiting is so hard.

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on February 19, 2010 at 11:57am: I'm a newby. My son is Ship 3 Div 145. He's 22 years old and left home 2/9 to go to Nashville arriving at RTC on 2/10. He got married on 1/9 so we have our new daughter in law staying with us for a while. We got our letter yesterday telling us his graduation date is 4/9. It was awesome to see his handwriting even if it was only 3 lines. DIL and I were hugging, jumping and crying together in the kitchen when I was reading it. She didn't even mind that the letter came addressed to his mom instead of his new wife. I mailed 5 letters yesterday and mailing more today.

Comment by Laura on February 18, 2010 at 10:39pm: Hi all, I haven't received a letter yet but it has only been 1 week and 1 day. I am going to write a letter when I am done here. I keep reading to keep writing them so that's what I will do. Are there others out there where the child is on ship 03, division 147. I see a lot of 143's. I watch the videos on graduating and they are so cool. Gives me goose bumps. I also like the countdown. I hope the time is going fast for them like it is us. I hope when I receive a letter, she is enjoying it.

Comment by cpmom on February 18, 2010 at 4:12pm: Hey everyone. I just got our form letter and my son is in Ship 3 Div 145. Can finally start sending some letters!

Comment by CaliProudMom (Ship 3 Div 144) on February 18, 2010 at 3:15pm: Okay..i guess i can add to some confusion... My son was Ship 9 Div 129 which was scheduled for PIR on March 19th. He happen to be set back two weeks..which would give him a PIR April 2nd. I called the Public Affairs office and they gave me my sons new ship and div, Ship 3 Div 144. I was looking a couple of other N4Ms that got the same ship and div and they had a form letter stating that the PIR is 4/9/10. Now that would put my son out 3 weeks....So, since i was completly confused, I called the Public Affairs office back and he confirmed that ship 3 div 144 is set for PIR 4/2/10....I told them that there are several N4Ms that are stating that the PIR for this ship and div was set for 4/9/10...He said that they have it wrong.... So, to add to the confusion...that is my updated info... HELP

Comment by beckie on February 18, 2010 at 3:14pm: Hi ladies~No letter here either. I read the posts about musical cards and stickers...I also called sons girlfriend and told her not to send musical cards or do the sticker thing. From what I am reading it sounds like we wont get to spend alot of time with them. I guess we were under the impression that he got to come home for a couple days before heading to A school. Hope you are all keeping your spirits up and positive thoughts close by.

Comment by beachmom on February 18, 2010 at 2:53pm: Laura-PIR=pass in review see that lady on navy speak over there on the right-----
you can put stuff in there and she'll translate most navy talk for you

Comment by Laura on February 18, 2010 at 2:27pm: we will be able to buy the tshirts the day of graduation? That's good if we can. Do they also sell navy sweatshirts? I am a sweatshirt person. I would also like to know what pir stands for. I saw it before but I forgot. It's been a week and 1 day now for my daughter at boot camp. I know there is yelling but I hope not alot, lol.

Comment by mcessna71 on February 18, 2010 at 2:26pm: hi, i got my form letter as well.. i was wondering the same thing. i guess i will ask him the next time i write. i'm not sure who else to ask.

Still no letter or call. the waiting is driving me crazy........
