    Let me know when u get ur form! I just worry he thinks I forgot about him or something when mail comes
  • Jesse's Girl

    Mail came and went today and still no form letter. I threw my useless mail in my yard and sat down to cry. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG??? I'm going crazy, I just know it
  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    No form for me juliette :(
  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    how are you doing today? mail came still nothing =(

  • Bocaestupida *Ship 14 Div 367*

    So, I think we have a ton in common - both live in PA, our SRs shipped out the same day, they are both joining the Reserves and they are both 31!  We should officially be friends! :)

  • MoCityMom

    Hi my daughter is Ship 14 Div 368 !!!  Hopefully we get to meet.

  • MoCityMom

    Thanks for adding me!!
  • Bocaestupida *Ship 14 Div 367*

    My husband is graduating on 11/9 and I couldn't be more excited.  We live just outside of Pittsburgh, about an 8 hour drive from Great Lakes.  I assume you're closer to Philly?  If you're driving, feel free to pass through here and we can caravan!  :)

  • Bocaestupida *Ship 14 Div 367*

    Yeah, the flights were insane and I would have had to fly me and our two kids! So road trip it is! We will for sure have to try and meet up. Is your fiancé going to A School in Great Lakes, too? What's his rating? My husband is an ET.
  • karens (alumni ship 13-Div 366)

    Juliette, not sure what we are doing yet, I and my middle son (who is 30 today) will be going, my older son and daughter in law will go to A school grad.  Did find a round trip flight into MKE for 218. round trip on travelocity, have to talk to my son today about what he wants to do, don't really want to drive l5 hours with him as he will not let me drive (apparently at 57 I no longer know how to drive! lol)  Hope to get this settled today as I will feel better having a plan and something to look forward to.

    You can go ahead and reserve hotels at any time....the earlier, the better.  Their cancellation policies are very liberal.  Remember that Navy Lodge doesn't have a shuttle so you will need to drive to RTC for PIR, but it is only about 1.5 miles away...and you will get a free pass to a smaller NEX to shop if you like...usually sailors have to be with you but not in this case.

  • diannep

    Bring your extras to PIR!  They should get in.  They can only guarantee 4 per sailor....but the others should get in.  Maybe have to wait for a little while (save them seats) but then they come in.  It is worth it so bring them!  Remember, many sailors will have no one at PIR for them  :-(, so their spots are available.  Saw your post on Bootcamp Moms.

  • skyler(ship14 DIV 368)

    Im so excited that someone is going through the same thing I am lol I cant find anyone near my hometown that understands. How have you been since your man has left? Ive been crazy... Some days I'm great other days I'm crying my eyes out lol 

  • CHN-B

    Hang in there. I know how painful it is but it will get better. My relationship w my bf has gotten so much closer & so much stronger from this. We appreciate so much more now, each text, each call, each visit.
    Urs was most likely allowed to write yesterday. If they processed mail today, u might get something towards the end of this week. (This is according to std schedule. Circumstances my occur.)
    Hang in there & keep busy. The days will pass & the letters will come. =)
  • MoCityMom

    Hi and thanks for thinking of me.  I'm doing well, I feel kind of out of place because unlike most of the people on this site, I'm not concerned at all.  I know my daughter is strong and independent and she'll be fine.  I do hate not hearing from her but I know that's part of the process.  This is what she wanted so I'm prayerful that it will be all she wants it to be and more.  I see that someone a loved one who's SR is in the same division as my daughter got a letter so I hope I get one soon.

  • Bocaestupida *Ship 14 Div 367*

    Hold your head up darling, I am sure a letter will be coming your way soon! It will be soooo sweet when you get it, the past couple weeks will just fade away, trust me!
  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    Hey :) still no form :( it's killing me. I don't get y I have got mine.
  • MoCityMom

    I'm doing great.  I bought my air plane ticket for PIR !!!  Can't wait until I get a real letter from her though.  I'm prayerful that this will happen this weekend.

  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    I got my form today!! Along with 8 personal letters!!!! He's ship 13 div 366 PIR 11/9 :)
  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    Oh yay!!! And yes!! I would love to meet u! If we can I know there is going to be a lot of people there! Lol 6 weeks! We got this!!! Now let's wait for a call!!! :)
  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    I sent them already! :) my mail usually comes at 5 and today it came at 3! So I made it in time to send them out today! :)
  • Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366)

    yes! im so excited for him to get them! all he kept saying is that he couldnt wait to get a letter from me, i sent all 16! how is your honey doing?!

  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    Hey !! Yes I will be there !! I'm counting down the days. I know, I'm more than happy its surprisingly moving pretty quick. Thank God. I'm hanging in there. Trying to keep busy and stay positive. How are you ? :)
  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    Good, good ! Yes I know what you mean. I was a wreck the first week with him gone. He A school is in Great Lakes, so I'm happy about that. What about yours ? How many letters have you gotten ? I've only heard from him twice.
  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    Lucky !! Yeah I'm hoping I get more this week. And yes I've been writing him everyday as well. I know isn't that crazy how we haven't talked to them like we used to for a whole month?! I don't know how I do it....so when will you guys get married ? Lets cross our fingers for a phone call soon !
  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    Yeah I definitely know how you feel. It can be very frustrating at times. But this is the life we signed up for. So we just gotta stay strong. I am flying to Great Lakes on Nov 8th with his parents. I still don't know where we're staying they're taking care of all that and letting me know when it's all set in stone. What about you ?
  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    Awh bummer :/ well at least you get to see him !! I know I'm very thankful I'll get the weekend to spend with him. And yes I'm hoping he gets that Monday off. So do you think you'll go visit him when he's at A school ?
  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    He is active. He'll only be in Great Lakes for 3 weeks cause he already got his job. So all he'll be doing there is physical training for his job. So then he will come home in beginning of December and they will base him.
  • Kassandra (Ship 13 DIV 366)

    You'll probably get your phone call tomorrow since your man is a different division. Hang tough. He'll call in the later afternoon so keep that phone on you !! Hopefully his division is doing better than Collin's so you get a longer phone call :)

  • MoCityMom

    Happy Friday - how are you holding up ???  I haven't been able to spend much time on the site this week.  Been busy at work and at home.  It's really made the time go by faster so I'm glad.  I was thrilled to get a call AND a letter from my daughter yesterday !!!  She was so excited she went on and on; I had a hard time hearing her because she caught me while I was traveling on the bus but it was SO good to hear from her.  I see a difference in her already, a GOOD difference.

    How about you, have you gotten anything?
