Comment by Julie on August 19, 2011 at 2:03am: Thats good! I'm glad to hear that it wasn't to serious! Hope he gets better though. I hope everything works out for you and your SR! (:

Comment by danni1226 on August 19, 2011 at 1:44am: I got my flight to PIR, he better not be grad and go...I dunno if I can handle that too...lol he said that he hurt himself, had to get an x-ray and was given 4 days of light duty, but he says that he's still on track for 9/16 PIR...fingers crossed...come on my love :) Proud of my SR!!!

Comment by Julie on August 19, 2011 at 1:16am: Its ok danni! I know what you mean, I'm in the same boat you are in a way. Just keep your eye out for your SR's letters! I keep his letters on my bed to read when I feel really really down. And you have plenty of people here who will be very supportive! (:

Comment by danni1226 on August 19, 2011 at 12:36am: Thank you so much for the support ...I don't really know all that much...wish I could talk to him... :( he always makes everything better...

Comment by imadreamer1983 (Ship 03 Div 306) on August 18, 2011 at 11:55pm: I got a weeks worth of letters today! I love Thursdays! =)

Welcome Morgan! Hope things with your SR get better. Hopefully he will meld into his new group and things will go smoother.

Danni, sounds like you guys are going to need to have a long talk about options. It will all work out though. Remember that the important part is being with him, big wedding or small, earlier or later than planned, you have someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with and that is what is important. We had tons of things that didn't go as planned with our wedding, but at the end of the day, I was married to my best friend and love of my life. Hang in there!

Comment by Julie on August 18, 2011 at 11:50pm: danni1226- really? what me and my fiance are trying to do is try to get married PIR weekend, though, do know that its almost impossible to get, but it can happen. My SR also told me that his A School might allow him to go home for the weekend or longer, depends on what his school says. We are planning on getting a quick wedding, that way we don't have to worry about it causing any problems down the road for me, or him. But in the next 5 years or so, have a real wedding in order to make up for the lack there off in the previous one. Do you know if thats true for all A Schools, or just his, because if its for all, you just REALLY made my entire day...well...29 days for that matter...

Comment by danni1226 on August 18, 2011 at 11:16pm: Got a letter from my SR/fiance he said that "A" school will be 33 weeks and not 9 weeks, apparently his recruiter had paperwork on ET rating that was over 3 years old, so our 2/12/2012 wedding will not happen...he most likely gets the week of christmas to come home. He also said that he was told if he was married and if his "A" school is over 17 weeks long then his spouse can go with him. What do I do? We already had everything done and planned for 2/12/2012...freaking out...!!!
