I knew if we looked hard enough we would find something about bc that was positive. From what I have been reading... It gets better when they start to write back. Are you all numbering your letters so they can open them in the correct order? He will have to guess on the first few. oh well, it will keep him busy figuring it out!! LOL

m'smom-I am right there with you. I am my own boss...so I guess she already knows ;-) My daughter was so different than when my son went to GL four years ago. She had everything organized and put away before she left...she left me nothing to do! Ha Son on the other hand, messy bed, clothes all over the floor, and omg the stuff under the bed and in the closet...oh my! By the end of the first week, I knew that boot camp was going to do him good!
Comment by m'smom on July 14, 2010 at 12:25pm
Discussion on the way... By the way I hope none of you tell my boss that I have done nothing at work for 2 weeks now!!
Comment by m'smom on July 14, 2010 at 12:24pm
I just had a thought ... I have walked past my son's room everytime I have gone upstairs for 2 weeks and the bed is still made!!!! There are blessing to this!!
Oh by the way, the dirty clothes have not multiplied on their own like he always told me they did!!

Guess I got the event posted ok. I was hoping that any of the later divisions, 286-288 would be getting their form letters this week and we might get a few more joining the group. I did like the idea of name tags with colored ribbons to identify the different divisions. The questions that they are asking on the other sites include: What name(s) do we put on Screen name and real name, recruit name? There was a picture of a ribbon that another group had made. All it was was a loop of ribbon (like the breast cancer pink ribbon) with what looked like stickers, an anchor and a couple of stars. Then the name was written down the tails of the ribbon. Will try to find the picture later and see if I can copy it here. Do we want to start a 'discussion' on this to keep all the ideas together? Then we won't have to go through other conversation to find ideas someone may have come up with.
By the way I am really glad to be in Western Pa right now, where it is only 80 something and 95% humidity. Though I may come visit y'all next winter if they send us another 4 foot of snow (or ws it 3?) When it is that much there isn't much difference...

Ooh my gos i am terrified of bugs i saw a watering and went running. My youngest is afraid to go out because of bugs that was her first word Bug. . Hopefully more will join. What idea does everyone have so far?
Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on July 14, 2010 at 10:59am
It rained alot last week and now all the bugs are out. So it not only is hot, but very sticky! Yuck! Staying in the cool A/C today and clean house.

I think as we get closer to our PIR date, we should have more individuals join our little group and then they can find out about the meet and great.
Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 14, 2010 at 10:55am
Me too!!!! :o) its been trying to rain and haven't, so its been sticky. How would other division know about the meet and greet guessing with the pir packet or am I wrong? Just wondering about that.
