Dear Hunters_Mom, You have been approved for "MAS We Ship Love. I must apologize for taking so long but when I searched for you, your page just did not turn up. " MAS We Ship Love" is where we keep the addresses for our contacts for "Molly's Adopt A Sailor." There have been a few spammers on N4M so we try to verify each mom before approval. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message. Thanks for joining us. Pat

Hi Hunters Mom, Nice to meet you. My son is the medical yoeman for his division. Your son looks tall my son is short about 5'7. I got a call from him yesterday and he said the division is really doing great.

My niece moved home recently after living in San Antonio for several years-maybe you two could chat on face book and she could enlighten you some

we are on the Texas/La border and I know just about nothing about San Antonio. Let me know and I will let her know you will be sending a friends request to her

Good afternoon my new friend! Thanks for your request. Oh my gosh, your son is nearly finished. How proud you must be HM! We've still got a ways to go and we still haven't heard from our 11/128 SR. As Tom Petty put it...the waiting is the hardest part! LOL

I'm so glad you like our PIR group! You know, if the SRs of these folks are anywhere near as great as their moms & gf, they've got a fabulous division! It's no wonder we haven't heard from them, right? You know, that no news is good news thing!? LOL Oh my gosh, I hear you about raising such an independent child. Yes, they don't feel the need to say, "mama!!!!" LOL Dang it, I'd LIKE for him to want to tell me what's going on though! I'm a mama! How very exciting for you to be so close. I can't wait to hear a bit more. I've been putting off the reservations, because of possible setbacks, so I am really looking forward to another week past..... I mean, it won't mean him coming home, but it will be the first step in the journey completed! Have a wonderful evening HM!

My son wrote today and said he knows your son and he is one of his best friends. He said he thought that was awesome that I had talked to his mom. Didn't know him by his first name had to ask around to find out who he was.

Hello N4M's,

Just a quick note to let everyone know that PIR is amazing, worth the wait and the feeling is almost indescribable! ;)

Currently I am with immediate family in the boonies. We have an eminent situation that is working out well, yet all consuming.

With that, I apologize for the delay in approvals for request to join and everything that needs attention. Expecting to be back "online" inline by next weekend.

NAVY STRONG!

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA

Whew ~ finally back and checking in with everyone. Thank you all for your patience, again... Wow, my bed looks really comfortable - Haha

I will be looking and approving requested members. Uploading photos, updating groups and all the stuff over this weekend. HooYah Navy Strong!

I also need to look in, join and post about our writing group in the upcoming PIR Groups to locate some more SR's that can use a card or letter.

You all are the BEST!

Hey Hunters Mom,

My son Graduated A school In San Antonio last month. He stayed on there because he is doing the Military Working Dog Program now. If you can go to this graduation there do so. It is very simple but very enjoyable. NO THE CRAZY that we went through at BC. They are very kind and let you take all kinds of pics and come up on the stage etc. My sons class was only like 31 so it was small. If you have your Sons address go ahead and mail him a small bottle of Baby Shampoo, this will help when he is washing the OC Spray off his face. You can pull up a Week by week schedule to see what he is doing, and he should know his grad date now also. Good luck and if I can help let me know. I will be going there on May 13 for my Sons graduation from MWD program.

Good evening Hunters_Mom,

My nephew should be going to A school in San Antonio if everything I'm reading is correct. He is going into corpsman. His PIR is May 6th. San Antonio would be awesome if this is where he is going - my mom's entire family lives in San Antonio and it's only a 7 hour drive from home. Any way I can help with cheering up some SR's I am ready to start. Our family has always been very close and I mail my nephew everyday and just can't thinking there are some that aren't getting anything - or very little.

Hey Hunters Mom,

There is a blog that I did on the SA MA goup page, look up top where it says info about graduaton at Lackland. Liberty will depend on where he is going after A school. Some had to leave that afternoon, some left the next morning early. Our son was staying in SA for Military Working Dog school so he stayed there. Get your pass into the base the night before graduation this wil help you the morning of. Let me know if you have any more questions. I will be there May 12 for his graduation on May 13 good luck to you !!

debbie_aunt(ship12/div158)

Thanks for the info Felicia. I'm not going to get my hopes up about anything until we hear from my nephew for confirmation. On the facebook page for U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command a post was left on March 18th which said "Barring further delays, on April 17, hospital corps school will convene its last HM "A" school class in Great Lakes and will graduate sometimes in July. After April 17, all sailors going to HM "A" school will go to San Antonio, TX. So I don't have a clue lol. Texas of course is what I'm wishing for, but if it's Great Lakes then Great Lakes it is. If & when I hear anything else I'll be sure to let you know.

I am signed up now and wondering what happens next. My son is very excited to go to HI, while I think it sounds very far away. We will have to do some saving for sure to try to get there!! I would be happy to write to any recruits and my daughters would love to do it too!!!
