Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 3:59pm: Sobe, I'll definitely encourage others to join N4M and share the info.,tips, etc. Your contribution to this site is so terrific, thank you for all you do to help us along the way. Momce

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 23, 2010 at 3:52pm: Must share this!
I've been writing to several recruits who don't get mail from home, and one of them graduated today, PIR 7/23. My N4M friend who is there for her boyfriends graduation took a picture of my adopted sailor this morning and sent it to my cell phone, with a message from him. THAT MADE MY DAY!!!! I now have a face to put with his name. I then had my grandson take a pic of me on my phone and sent it to my N4M friend, so she could show it to my adopted sailor (Kyle). My poor N4M friend, she wants to visit with her BF, but she takes time out to put me and Kyle together via phone! LIFE IS GOOD - Thank you Lord!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 23, 2010 at 3:42pm: Momce: Your welcome! If you want to repay the favor, be sure to remind everyone next week about the tips and stories I post. I am on so many groups that I might not remember what I posted and where I posted it!!!

In one week, you will ALL be seasoned Moms/GF's/wives! You already know so much more than you think. Please go to PIR groups behind you and share the wealth. I can't do this forever and my husband misses me - he thinks I like N4M more than him (okay, he's sort of close to being right - ha ha). I started helping other groups because now that my son is out of bc, I can talk/text/skype him anytime I want at A-School, so I was having withdrawals - so I started helping other moms. But it's a lot of work to help out 8 PIR groups! Would LOVE some help - it's the most rewarding thing you will ever do. Think about it!

Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 3:41pm: Congratulations Ship 10 Div 254...How Exciting, How Wonderful !!!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 23, 2010 at 3:36pm: alma02453: If a decision is made to change a recruits PIR date, they let that recruit call home immediately - there's no waiting around on that issue! That's why we say, no news is good news!

Comment by alma02453 on July 23, 2010 at 3:27pm: Hi, I think someone already asked this, but does anyone know how soon we find out, if by chance they wont graduate on time? Danny PIR is 7/30 ship 10 div 256

Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 3:07pm: Sobe, Thank you so much for the "heads up"...have to repeat to myself, "no news is good news"...trying to stay calm. I so appreciate your taking the time to give us this info. Thanks again! Momce

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 23, 2010 at 3:02pm: Heads up ladies: One of my dearest friends in PIR 7/23 was a basket case yesterday because her boyfriend had BS-21 on Wed night and he never called her yesterday to say he's a sailor. She flew to Chicago by herself and was a wreck all night, didn't know if she should go to PIR or not. We told her to go and reminded her that no news was good news - even if they are suppose to be allowed to call you!

I've been texting with her all morning, she gave me a play by play of the ceremony! There are 1,035 sailors graduating today. She saw him march by her in the ceremony and they are now enjoying his Liberty today! And she got her kiss too!

Turns out, he was never able to call her last night, he way too exhausted. So that proves again that no news is good news, even if it's a critical call like passing BS-21.
