They have earned 5 days (2.5 for each month) but I still don't get this holiday leave until the 8th. I know they go in the hole,but i think that means they have to make up the extra days which he will when he attends A school. and will still get liberty during that time. Any clarity will help. I have asked RTC on facebook but never got a answer.
My sons told me in a letter yesterday that they get 5 days of leave after their PIR, Has anyone else heard this?
Good morning, everyone. Have a great day!
We got 2 letters yesterday and Grandma got 1!! He said his div. is working well together and they all want to be the BEST! He also told us that Nov. 10 was day 2-1 for any of you trying to follow their progress.
Lala Ribbon Queen Pir Ribbons: I sent you a email of my order just want to make sure you got it......Thanks Michelle
momhousedivided2, thanks for the words of the day
Good morning ladies and Craig! No letter for me letter yesterday but happy for those that did! YAY Momshousedivided for the letter from your recruit! Have a super day and even better weekend ahead.
Received a letter yesterday. So happy to hear that he is really enjoying it all (even the IT). Said his Div is the loudest ( and proudest- eventhought they get IT'd for it). NOT sure if the others in his Div share the same sentiment, but whatever gets him through BC is fine with me. Was liking the fact that he is getting stronger and his arms are getting bigger( this from the kid that already had "some arms"- my oldest calls him Goliath) haha I cracked up at that. But he did say he was really proud of his Div and all that they are doing. He is just a little like his mama- a good cheerleader( motivator) when need be.
Hope everyone got a "good" letter and can breathe that they are doing ok! Thought I would gear us up for the intense shopping season. Here ya go--
Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase. ~Erma Bombeck
Thanks batman... I just excepted your friend request and sent you the info on the ribbons. :-)
