Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by Presleysmom on November 18, 2011 at 4:56pm: My sons 09 Div 21. No call yet. What does the number come like? His letters all sound good hope the phone rings soon This site has been such a blessing with all the support and information. Thank you

Comment by diannep on November 18, 2011 at 3:41pm: Scotturk: Just remember...even if they are told they get to call on a certain date, they could "lose" those calls as a division, or individuals can, or as AZ said, they could have had watch. Or they could be rewarded with an unexpected call for doing well! My son never told me when he thought he could call, except for the first time. He was lucky...he arrived up there 3 days before Thanksgiving 2 yrs ago. His division was allowed to call on Thanksgiving for just 5 minutes...but still was great. He told me then that he would be allowed to call in a couple of weeks. He changed PIR groups when he was in training week 3 (asmoed for a week) and the next division didn't allow as many calls for them as his previous division did. I think he may have called me about 3 times before he changed out of his PIR group, but then only twice (I think!) once he was put into a new PIR group (training week 3). It is all up to the RDCs as far as if and when they call.

Love your quote, momshousedivided, and hope you are ok now!

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 18, 2011 at 3:07pm: ok - SORRY Y'ALL! I had a little minor surgery yesterday and did not get up and around too early today. Got our call last night... he sounds great! Loves his Div and the fact that they "flagged"! He is so proud. Getting stronger and love'in it!

Here is today's

Comment by Scotturk on November 18, 2011 at 1:35pm: Does anyone know when SHip02 Div 906 SRs get to make a phone call?

Comment by RuthL on November 18, 2011 at 9:08am: No call for me. I think every kid in 09/022 called except mine. I hope she isn't in trouble. She sounded great in her letters and was looking forward to calling home. Of course I will frett now until I hear from her.

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 18, 2011 at 8:47am: good morning ladies! yesterday made my heart smile. we got a letter and a phone call. he is doing so good and really likes bc. passing tests and thrilled about the uniforms. and looking forward to 12/29.

Lala - more power to you my friend for your job today! i took algebra twice in hs and 3x in college. as for my recruit - 99% in algebra1 in the 8th grade. all other math class from then on up to calculius(?) were A's as well. CLEARLY HE DIDN'T GET HIS MATH SKILLS FROM HIS MOMMA! lol

ALL - HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND EVEN BETTER WEEKEND. AND welcome NEW MEMBERS! Time really does heal the heart! Hugs to you all.

Comment by diannep on November 18, 2011 at 8:41am: Good luck, Lala. Good morning, all.

The poor SRs get sick--most of them...my guess is from all of the vaccinations they get all at once, temporarily lowering their immune system, and also from all of the germs circulating around them with so many in there! It is amazing how they can endure this all though. Some even have been hospitalized for pneumonia, yet make it to PIR! So they are strong men/women!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 18, 2011 at 8:29am: Good Morning everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful day. i am subbing in HS Algebra today, wish me luck :-)
