Hi Everyone,  I am planning on being at  PIR in September, God Willing,  I am starting to research hotels, because I want this to also be a mini vacation.  What are your recommendations.  I have seen two that are right on the lake, however, worried about distance to PIR.  Also what is the weather like in September?

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Everyone.  Just wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year.   I will have my blue candle lit for all your  Recruits, Sailors and Officers! 

I am officially on the countdown to July 8th.  My second child to leave for RTC.  Wish us luck!

Hey.  I just went through our group.  Thank you for the support.  I am trying to purge all the feelings before my Son ships out July 2015.  I want to look forward to his leaving and be at peace.  As of now all I see is my baby boy running around in his diapers and it makes me sad.  I sincerely hope this time around I will have a Sailor, and join the ranks of being a Navy MOM.  God bless all of you when I really needed you!!!  I hope all is well with your Sailors!!! 

My son just swore into Dep yesterday.  looking for family members of othe Aerographer Mates.

thanks!

Hi,

So most of you know me as Liz's mom ship 14 division 179 from 2013, and some of you know what that was like.  She's doing great now, working full time and going to college part time.  

So now it's my Son's time to start the enlistment process, and to be honest, I'm scared.  I've been through the I didn't pass my PFA, to Fit, and then she got hurt went to RCU, her cousin and BFF dies of Ovarian Cancer, and was Sepped.  I'm really nervous, and hiding the fact that I'm really…

Hi all, I'd love to hear from you if you have an SR that re enlisted after being separated.  Thanks!

Hi All, My daughter was seped but received a code that allows her to re enlist. Her DD214 is on its way to meps now, to determine what waivers are needed. Any Advise would be appreciated. Really nervous and excited!

Hi Everyone, my daughter is trying to re enlist after being separated.  Is there a group for that on here?  I would love to join!

Hi everyone, so here it is.. I need help in understanding the separation code for   jfc re-e3, everything I have read on this says its for a failure for prerequisite education, like not graduating high school- which she did,and submitted it- Legal and her recruiters say its a medical code.  How can i obtain the right information to fight this and get her back to BC.  Her recruiters have also said they won't work with her until she gets a code change.. this is very aggravating, and I don't…

Hi All- My daughter is int he RCU- Got her 2 min call last wed night- with stress fractures- the two groups I am in are not very active-  I just want answers-  Do they get to call- what happens in the RCU for fractures- how do they diagnose stress fractures?  Any and All advise is welcome- heard she's not allowed at Nex due to being on crutches- so I sent her a care package of essentials...

Thank you to all who respond.

hi- I just really need to vent- my PIR is supposed to be on 5/10- but it's on hold due to she missed her run by 90 secs- and I'm not getting the answers I need.  This kid had her flight delayed- and got to BC 2 days after her original ship out out date- with a nasty cold- on hold a week- then got to start P-days- and rolled her Anke- Then got the stomache Virus, and now a sore throat, cough and bummed up knee- This kid used to never get sick-and now I don't know what to do- I'm waiting on a…

Hi All- my daughter is starting 4-1 today.  Apparently- I am not handling this to well- as I am having panic attacks and have gained 10 pounds- I don't understand it- I'm proud and I've stayed positive- I miss her like crazy but I know she's doing fantastic..How did I get to a point where i don't have panic attacks anymore?

Hi Bree'smom- thank you for the talk this morning- I was at work and miserable- please find me again and friend request me.  Which group did you see my post in?  Thank you so much-wishing your Daughter the best of luck in A - School!

Hi All- so joyously happy!  My SR is in BC- two weeks today.  She sent me flowers which she set up prior to leaving with  a sweet message- I'm so touched-  I miss her sosoo much!-- Have a good day all!

Hi All- my daughter got to great lakes on 3/7 and she was one of 4 girls to ship that night.  Upon the advice of some I joined the 5/3 PIR group-  They have received their letters and are now receiving phone calls-  I haven't received anyting but her box...Is it possible they put her on hold and put her into a division that arrived the following week?  I'm getting depressed- and worried and I hate not knowing anything.... Thanks!

Hi All- not doing so hot today- I got my last I love you text at 1030p and the I'm hear call at 1233a this morning.  So since she arrived on a Thursday- will they rush her P-days- and put her in a division formed earlier this week, or hold her til next week?  Her main complaint was she couldn't get her ear to pop and it was bothering her- at least her cold seemed to have decided to end-her voice sounded so good when I got to talk to her while waiting in O'Hare.  So now I wait- and the no…

Hi All- I'm at work and going crazy- she's in the air right now shipping to GL- So scared and worried- but oh so proud of her-- She's got her phone cards- and a little extra money- I've joined all the necessary groups- now I'm just waiting until I get the call tonight-- I didn't think it would hurt this much...

Hi All- my heart goes out to all the shippers whose flights are being canceled due to the storm- my own is on her way home from Maryland to try flying out on thursday-

Hi All,  I don't know how this is all going to play out- she's nervous and excited can't sleep- I can't sleep cause I'm nervous and scared for her-  Her going away party on Saturday was a huge success- we all had a great time- and alot of touching moments.  But for me- I feel like I have to keep a brave face on and not cry and I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it cause I cry.. I'm thinking taking next monday tuesday and wednesday off was a good idea-  My blue candle is ready for bs21…
