cowgirlmom - maybe that means they get to have some time during the day to themselves and go off base if they're allowed.
mrstoddyboy - I can only imagine how important that phone call is, just remember, they don't always have the opportunity to get near a phone.
We're going to PIR. Booked in the Best Western Gurneu Hotel & Suites from 9/13 to 9/17. Don't have any idea how much time we'll actually get with him, but decided if he has to leave on Sat, we will just consider it our vacation and see Chicago ourselves! Right now he is undesignated and scheduled for further training at Great Lakes so (unless they mess up really badly) they should have the days off that weekend. Can't tell you how many moms I've read said all they wanted to do was be with family and sleep. As long as I can watch him sleep, I'll be the happiest mom in the world.....lol. We're coming in from Seattle. How about the rest of you? What parts of the country do we represent? Do your recruits have an A school or are they also undesignated?
Robertsmom - so glad you finally got your letter. It's physically painful not to hear from them.
My husband is ship 14 div 292. Our children and I are going to PIR I have already booked at the Ramada. I recieved a personal letter on Tuesday. I hope the kids and I get a call soon.
Hi Set up this group my son is in so I can connect with anyone else who has loved one's in the same division. Hope you hear from you.
