    Hi Kay, Wow you are lucky - I guess you will see him while at A school.  The one thing he told me that as a mom I wish I could fix was that he wished he picked a different job...his A school is in Great Lakes - 14 hours away for us...it'll all work out.  My husband says well he'll learn to research things better -- but that's a 2 year lesson...he thought of asking if it can be changed but felt he thought they don't change them.  I told him they can only say no...time will tell.  He said he was sending mail on Sunday - his older sisters are hoping for letters...have a good night.

    Hi Kay,

    Hope you enjoyed your call last night.  We waiting Saturday as he said that was his day to call.  He explained how they owed 144 minutes!!! but some high up spoke up for them and if they are bad this week -- that'll be it....we got 20 is that what you got?  He didn't seem as enthused as last call...Hope you are doing okay with all this these days.

    Cathy, what does that mean about owing 144 minutes? An a higher up spoke up for them? My SR said by a miracle he got to call me yesterday. Neither of us were expecting that.

    Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. What is your SR's rating (job/specialty) going to be? There are groups for most ratings and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
