for those staying back, that link that coach sheila sent will live stream the arrival of the Truman. I don't know if this is appropriate to ask on this forum (contact me privately if it's not) but is there an ETA so we can catch it live?
thank you
at PIR our division (the mom's that were here on NFM'S) all wore green scarves so we could identify eachother. It really did work too! I met many mom's that I'd not have been able to meet otherwise. Maybe that yellow scarf or ribbon theme will work. It's late notice but maybe even grab a roll of yellow streamers or ribbon or something you could put on or around your neck. My heart is breaking to not be present. Our son is a nuke, gets of hours after it pulls in and has no real liberty as he immediately travels back base is SC. He'll get his time 2 weeks later though. Next time for sure.

Ladies (and gentlemen): Hearing your excitement is music to my ears! I am excited for you all! Love hearing all your plans. So very SOON! I am still enjoying my son being home on leave. He came back about 15 lbs. lighter and I am working on fattening him up a bit. He has done a whole lot of sleeping. Just to let you know yours probably will too. We had a very good weekend. Went fishing all day on Saturday and he caught a huge catfish which we have cleaned and put in the freezer to make when he gets out for good. Cooked out. yesterday I made the Easter meal a week early for him cuz he won't be home for that, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He has been visiting colleges-going to OSU today and hitting up Pittsburgh on way back in a couple of days. Then will make his decision. Went to Bowling Green last Thursday. WE are planning on having a big party for him when he is officially out to celebrate! Have fun ladies! This is the experience of a lifetime!
