Prayers go out to PIR 6/25/2010 today for good health and strong spirits!
Like Anna, I'd like to say thank you to everyone for sharing on this journey. I can't tell you how much it has helped me. We needed each other's support and we gave freely. Our hearts are in boot camp together.
I will never forget this blessing of N4M PIR 6/25.
God bless and I look forward to meeting you in 8 days!!!!
Anna! You have been a blessing to us all -- unafraid to express your sincere heart felt sentiments -- fears, tears, laughter and love. Most of us came here not knowing what to expect and you put us at once, at ease with your words. Not an easy task for all of us PMSing -Menopausal creatures worried about our boys --- our men -- and soon to be, Our Sailors! Thanks you so much for holding our hands, wiping our tears, hugging our shoulders. It WOULD NOT have been the same, without YOU! I love you, too, and appreciate all you have given of yourself here on N4M PIR 6/25 :)))

Hi Jane:
On the form letter there is a password that you have to type in all caps. If you do not have a password written down from your recruit you can call GL's and they can help you with that. If you are going to the meet and greet at the Ramada we will bring extra parking pass's for people to fill it out and have. Here is the number you can contact GL if you want to do that.847-688-2405

Ladies- As our journey together on our PIR 6/25 is nearing an end. There are some things I have to say to each and everyone of you.
Knowing you has been a sweet treasure.. The highs and the lows of this whole boot-camp experience would have been so much more painful without each of you by my side. If God said Anna I am going to line up all the moms, wives, girlfriends, and grandmas that can walk beside you through this experience take your choice. I would picked ALL of you each and everytime. You have etched your place in my heart forever. I could have never gotten through this without your shoulders to lean on, your hands to hold and the passing of the klennex box.
I hurt when you hurt and I rejoiced when you, you rejoiced. As we all go our seperate ways after boot-camp and join our A-school pages and drift off with our loved ones. I wanted to say THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!! We have so many angels among us and I count each of you as one of them. We are all going to get busy with our activites this next week and I didnt want another moment to pass by without me letting you know that you have been a gift wrapped in the most beautiful packages of your inner being.
I am so proud and honored to have known you no matter how brief our time together was. We will all always be connected in a special way. Good Luck to all of you and your SAILORS... May they go to their destiny of greatness and may you all have a wonderful life full of all the things that make your heart smile and blessings all the days of your lives...
I truly love you all and appreciate all that you have been for me!!!
