For those with PIR in Nov. here is the PIR for Nov. to join!

NOV 2020 PIR Group 

VintageGal!!!  I am so happy for you that you were able to see him!!! Congratulations to you and to him!

I think I may have spotted my son in one of the pictures. Of course, about a third of a face wearing a mask slightly out of focus (or maybe it’s the resolution of the picture), it’s a little hard to be sure. 

VintageGal - Congratulations on seeing your son and congrats to him for being RPOC. 

VintageGal How funny! the things friends say. My Sons friends cant even come over, my Son made it a point that they are not allowed over unless he is in town...…..But they call and ask how I am doing. Bud is very Private in his ways. Too funny if you ask me!

Ok I’m all confused on the time the video is being premiered! Is it 5pm CST? So then 6pm EST

Shanny—I’d talk to the School and insist that they either get her a better copy of the material, Get her a textbook or better still online access to read it on her computer or tablet.  It’s ridiculous what they are having to deal with!! (And yes we just got news yesterday that one of my Aunts, who is 87 and has a leaking heart valve and congestive heart failure has also been exposed to COVID despite the other caregivers in her house taking extraordinary measures to try and keep her safe!  We are awaiting the results but she is struggling to breathe!  She also said if it’s her time, then she’s ready.  No one could have done anything to keep her any safer than they did!)
Oh MY!!! That poor girl!!! I’d be heart sick to have been there that long and making NO progress!! Clearly she is NOT going to get COVID if she’s been in the ring of fire that many times and not gotten sick!!

Chipmunk—So Glad you are safe and relatively whole!! Praying the home damage is minor!  HAHAHA!!! I can just see it!!
Custodian to Principal: “The power in the school is out and may be for the rest of the week.  I think we should cancel school.”
Principal: “Nah, We have the technology, We’ll just have them do their school Online!!”
Teachers, Parents and Students district wide: “Ummmmmmmmm…. We have no power here either…..????”

LadyBluefire—I saw that too.  It was too funny!! Also this is an interesting game of “Can you identify your child if all you can see is their eyes!! No hands, No smiles, Just the eyes!!  I didn’t even see many adam’s apples either.
The one I went to see yesterday had just signed divorce papers that morning.  My uncle passed from Zika in a blood transfusion 10 years ago.  She remarried 3 years ago and then he had an affair, blamed her for all the issues and just had a complete personality change.  She needs some things fixed on her house and we were seeing what we can do to help.  It’s her older sister (My mom is the second to youngest of 5.  Only 3 are still living) that is the one who is sick. 

VintageGal—That is your local time.  Mine shows 3pm.  Are you a little excited today?  I wonder why??? ;0) 
Proof of LIFE!!!! YEAH!!! Pictures!! I’m so happy for you!!! Careful… You keep making that face and it may stick that way!! (I sure hope so!!)

MyKidsMom—I hope he’s able to call and confirm for you tomorrow!! Congratulations on your Proof of life too!! Phones will be returned shortly and you can bask in the glow of long cell phone calls!! You can test at odd times knowing they’ll see it and can respond if they so choose!!

And NOW You All can EXHALE!!!! And Take a Deep Breath in….. And EXHALE…. Do it again, Deep Breath in….. and Out!!! This is called breathing…. You may have forgotten how to do it while holding your breath waiting for your child to complete boot camp.  They are on the good side now and you can resume regular breathing (at least for a while!)  

Ooooh @beloved I missed your post! Ok it shows our local time. 

Kristel2400 -- 2pm Pacific, 3 pm Mountain, 4 pm Central, 5pm Eastern.

Belovedbyhim- ha! He’s been making that face since he was a little boy! Lol yup a bit excited!! 

Congratulations Ladies I'm so Happy for you! YAY! HOOYAH! Bravo Zulu!

Vintage - I see he lost his cover after the photos were taken, 1st time he marched by - cover, then boom gone next pass by, lol.

How proud you must be!

I wonder if they can say "no covers were harmed during the making of this video" cause I think I saw a few get stepped on!

One sailor tried to use the flag to keep his stuck to his cheek, lol.

I hope the rest of the mamas saw their sailors! Especially you hugabugs since you haven't even received your sailor call..

Vintage - the beauty of waiting is the ability to FFWD to your kid after the live stream. 16:42 is when his division comes in...

He looked so smart and sharp!

Vintage - your hubby can get an Uber, no? lol!

LadyBluefire:  he can walk!!  I mean come on!!!  VintageGal:  you tell him he has exactly 30 seconds to get to the car or he has to start walking!!!

i hope everyone gets to see their SAILORS in the PIR video today!!!  

HA! Ok we’re home and we saw him! That’s soooooo awesome!!  

Kristel! - did you see your son? 

ladies! Did you see your Sailors?! 

VintageGal:  PROOF OF LIFE!!!!!  Woohooo so glad you saw him!!  I will have to post my proof of life picture from PIR that the Navy posted...  

Since we are sharing, lol. I am posting a 3 block screenie of photos. The one on the left is where I saw my not kid - the blonde I cried over mistakenly.

The middle one is the only photo on RTC page of him - he is the one hidden by the flag, lol -  you just see his left jaw covered by a mask. 

The right hand picture is him - the sailor on the left (his name is not Waldo, but that's what it felt like I was playing)

Pheonixmom- those are awesome pumpkins! 

LadyBlueFire and Shanny - you ladies were cracking me up! I was about to throw that car into drive! LOL

ladyblue! It’s so nice seeing them for the first time in months! 

My proof of life photo from PIR!  Mine is the short one in the middle. He is actually 5’10 but he must have been between some TALL guys! Oh this is from 9/24

Lol middle one lol he is the one in glasses. I cropped it on another one I have so it’s just him and forgot how many were there in the original

Vintage  - at least I was nicer than Shanny....she was going to make him walk home, lol! An dyes so nice to lay eyes on them - hopefully soon it will be facetime!

Shanny - wow, if he is 5'10- those are some tall guys!

Great picture ladies! After all the time we wait to see our babies (young men and women) faces it is a huge relief and a proud moment! 

Right LadyBlueFire! that's what I was gonna say! Handsome Young Man Shanny! He's my height No I'm 5"9 but close!

Great Pic!

Yea I'm gonna have my daughter do one of those pumpkins tonight, she draws pretty good. she made a Cardinal's one for my Hubby NFL football.

This is the one she did last night.

That isn't it but It looks like this. she is pretty good, she made a dinosaur last year for my Grandson .

This is how far she is she said.

PhoenixMom, those pumpkins are awesome, she must spend hours on them. Thank you for sharing them with us.

She does it pretty fast, she's good, something to do for the Grandson he was all into it last night. she drew them and said she will carve tonight so they look good for Halloween. she tries to get the family to have pumpkin carving contest as we have easter egg decorating contest and Of course I have one the past couple of them. LOL Love a challenge!

My oldest is into Halloween as well her house inside and out decorated. then comes Christmas, crazy kids but love it! Have a Great weekend folks. Thank You for sharing pics of your Sailors enjoyed it very much! Be safe and have fun this weekend! see you all Monday! Big hugs and much Love to you all!

No vintage... I mean you with your big goofy grin at seeing your sailor!  I hope you NEVER stop grinning. 

I love seeing all your pictures of your sailors!  

Good evening, I really go all out for the kiddos at school for Halloween. This year their trick or treat was cancelled but I did a big to do at school. I carve watermelon, pumpkins, decorate the whole gym and even have monsters greeting them at the doors. One of our newer transplant said this is the best school ever, apparently the school they came from didn't do much. I was completely warn out by today but the administrator came down to personally thank me and then they put pictures on Facebook, alot of nice comments. Those little faces were lite up like Jack o lanterns, very much worth all the work just seeing those smiling faces and excited voices. When I get somewhere with better internet I will post some, mine stinks.

@vintage......I did get proof of life BUT I thought 3 kids were him prior to him giving me exact instructions on where he was and sending a picture!! Stupid masks make it difficult to see who they are in the 2 seconds you get! Thank goodness for pause & rewind. Lol He is in the middle in front of the sailor that lost his cover LOL 

Awesome Pumpkins Phoenix!
Vintage-- Did I read right that he was in a Ford? As in a dealership?  I'd have left him and let him walk or buy a car to get himself home in. You have a PIR Video to watch !!! That is 1,000,000,000,000,000 x's more important than ANYTHING else!!!!

Sorry for the multiple posts.  Tried doing it on my mobile... I'll stick with desktop!!
