Please feel free to jump in and join our chats!! We like to discuss everything from our sailors to our jobs, weather, whatever. It's also a great place if you want to yell, scream, vent, cry - - there is no judgment involved!!! Brag about your sailor but also tell us when you are hurting because you miss her so!!! Looking forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!
Hey! How's it going? Gotten any letters as of late? I miss my SR so much and I feel very disconnected!!! Hope you're doing better than I. I am praying for a letter soon!! :)
My SR's name is Jason. He sounded so weary when I talked to him last poor thing. I've been getting the letter thing down lol! I haven't gotten any yet but I hope to get one this week or next for sure! I will def. ask if he knows her! Man I am excited that they get to come in first and all that jazz. It'll be nice not waiting in suspense for their turn!! lol.
Hi there! Happy Thanksgiving! I got a phone call today, it was the best feeling in the world!! You were right his PIR is 1/20 and he is ship 2 div 909! So I guess I will see you at PIR! I'm so happy!!!!
Well I got my daughters box of goodies from bootcamp today . I didn't cry it was comforting to get something from her even if it was her dirty clothes , cell phone and her makeup, she did slip in a note for me with kisses and hugs. Still no address to send her letters waiting sigh..............
My SR was the same way! :) He also told me not to think he felt any different about me because of the way he was acting, it was something he needed to do to prepare himself to leave. I know I can probably speak for both of us when I say that we're both missing them like CRAZY. I say a few prayers a day to get through the rough times. I really do hope I get to see you in PIR. When do you think PIR will actually happen for our bunch? Did you get 'the box' yet?
Yes, I know what you mean about the wondering how they are part. I was able to talk to my S/R up until he boarded the plane. How was your daughter before she left? Was she a bit distant? It'll be a long few weeks but that's what great about this site is that we can get through it together! Who knows maybe I'll even see you at PIR!! :)
You will find this site very helpful and full of members who are eager to answer your questions. Browse around the site and check out the forums, groups, blogs, photos, videos, and even the other member profiles!
