As many before me, I am over the moon excited and proud of my SR as they all approach their PIR on 5/31. It is surly going to be a long 10 days waiting to go and getting ready and remembering everything to take. If anyone has any advise on a checklist that would be great .
These last days (2 weeks ) have been really long as we have not gotten any news or calls but I know they must be really busy getting all of the tests and final stuff completed before PIR. I am still hoping for one…

another day closer and it does not seem that far away now. at first i was at a loss, and now that i just got my second call from him yesterday and i am waiting for my second letter this week, i can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. He seems to be in great spirits and his mind is where it needs to be with the focus on being a sailor.
I loved hearing from him and though there are some trying times for him .....it is boot camp and i am very proud of my son for finding the "right…

Finally the form letter has arrived:):):)
A txt from my husband came to me at work last night that stated " he has sent a letter" :):) I could not get home quick enough to open it. With hopes that something would be written in it from him, I opened it in record speed. It had no written message but it did have all of the information I have been waiting on so I was completely happy with that. His handwriting , which is normally not that well, was very nicely written in all CAPS and in…

yesterday, as i had to leave early for work, i should home late last night to find the fed ex missed label strapped to my door. I am hoping that it will get here before I leave today. If not, I have signed to have it left for me . I am also hoping that soon the "form letter" will get here so that I can send all of the letters I have wrote thus far. It has been stressful just with the thoughts of not knowing and not being able to contact him but I am still overwhelmed with pride, and knowig…

Hello All,
My son shipped to boot camp on 4/4/13 and as I am the proudest mom ever, it is also the hardest thing I have ever done. As most of the time I am the "proud mom" I have come to realize that I have my down time as well. It is getting a little harder each day but hold my head up knowing I am a little closer each day to hearing from him or getting letters. I am still dreading the "box " day:( If any moms out there are a couple steps ahead of me in this venture or your son or…
