Hey, I'm a mother of two, my son is Air Force station in the states & my daughter is station in Sassebo, Japan with the Navy. Yes, they will get to call more in A school. Don't be a cry baby wait until after the calls. Be strong for them, they need encouragement when they call u. They are learning to be on their own & they have a lot of pressure on them to finish their mission or task. U will be so proud of them when them when they graduate. My girl could not come in for Christmas due to a mission in the Philippines. She has not been home in two years & was very disappointed. I told her to be strong & b thankful that she has a loving family waiting on her when she does come home & to realize that those poor families there need your help. She is an angel to them & my baby angel to me. Merry Christmas to you, I no it's hard, just try to stay positive. God bless

Thanks for the welcome!  I've actually purchased a blanket from you!

I am a bit tardy but thank you for the welcoming message.  I will most likely have some questions as we get closer to PIR.

Thank you so much for the info!!

Thank you for the Welcome and I have finally found my way back here.  I am having difficulty navigating the sites so please bear with me as I am doing my best.  My son left August 19th for BC  PIR is 10/18.  Thus far I have made flight reservations as well as hotel reservations.  I have wrote daily or have sent cards (or both)  I did receive a call yesterday and he mentioned it would probably be his last for approx 2 weeks.  He sounds great and making adjustments to Navy Life.  There Division has improved and even got a Flag yesterday. I don't know much about that so I will need to find where to look for info on that.  I am forever proud and can't wait til PIR.  Suggestions or tips is always appreciated.

Hi all...  Just wanted to let you all know about a great program for Recruits.  CallsforRecruits.org has FREE phone cards for recruits in bootcamp.  If you or someone you know is leaving soon for bootcamp, go to the website and get some phone cards for them to use while they are at BC.  They can use them at A school or anytime if they need them, although most people have cell phones these days LOL.  Just thought I would pass along the info....
