PIR for those getting the call today is 11/2/12!  soooo can't wait to see my Sailor.  He sounded soooo exhausted but like he was trying to loose that southern accent he has!  His letters sound so much more mature than when he started BC.

Thanks for your comment on my sons wedding pic! His father and I are very proud! Are son may have left yesterday, but we have a wonderful daughter in law to keep by our side!

So glad you got your box! I still have not gotten mine and he also left the 25th and we live in Indiana..only 5 hrs away!! Not sure what the hold up is! Keeping fingers crossed for today!

Hi Zman's mom!  I was told by my recruiter that my son is on Ship 03/Div039) but I haven't received the PIR letter.  He was sent out early on 10/25 to graduate 12/21 - but I guess was bumped to 12/28 as I was told by his recruiter.......When I saw your post I was sooooooooo happy to hear that somebody got a letter!!!!!  Where do you live?

Hi Zman's mom!  My son's name is Austin (goes by AJ), however now that the "kid in the box" came home he probably will go by Austin.  I've been reading your posts.....can you privately email me?

I received the box today...I did shed a few tears, as my five year old daughter told me that sweatshirt smelled like her brother. I have sent a few letters, I am anxiously awaiting any info regarding the PIR Graduation !

what airline did you book that you can change flight?

So far I am only seeing info for shuttles TO the Airporsts when they go on Leave...but not anything about shuttles to TSC GL when they return. They just might have a few that would arrive at certain times for the Sailors...then those that can't do that would have to provide thier own transport. If that were the case, I bet Sarge would coordinate several fares at one time so they could split the cost. He may be preparing for that or/and we could also let him know to be prepared!

I would ask on the TSC GL FB page. They do seem to answer questions there.
