Thanks so much Melindy! I am praying that we get some time with him like that. So if we go to the airport he can leave and go somewhere with us, right? that would be great. We are flying in from Boise. :-) God bless!
No letter here either :( I have my phone stuck to me in the hopes of a phone call. I was on fb and there were posts that 918 were getting calls, going to pizza hut and on fb, they mentioned something about recruit heaven?? I tried to message you on fb but since we are not friends it would cost me a dollar and I wasn't able to send you a friend request. Very weird.
I am stalking the mailman, this website and the fb pages!! I did see that 922 have been making calls today so maybe tomorrow is our day :) I hope you have a great Friday evening despite missing your SR.
My son will be an Airman. I will keep you posted if I hear from him. Praying for all of us who still haven't heard from our SR's that tomorrow will be the day
Thank you Melinda. I have a SR Son. I have also joined the facebook group for our PIR and there is also a 900 group which I joined. Are you facebook? I will order my ribbons tonight.
I did get a call from my son a week after he arrived which was 2/26 he sounded well and said that he they were getting shots the next day. I was so surprised to get the call that of course I got flustered and didn't ask any good questions :(. I got his address on Friday and have been sending letters nearly every day. I have not received any from him or any other phone calls.
Hi :) Glad to have another SR who is going Nuke in the PIR group. If you want I got a ton of info about Goose Creek/Nuke info from a Mom whose son is graduating this May from the Nuke program. I can forward it to you.
I hope you get all the information here you are looking for. Please stop by the Survival Guide for New Moms for some of the info to start with.
If you have a new Recruit and need phone cards for them please check out Calls for Recruits.org and get them for FREE. I feel that the Family, Loved Ones, nor the Men and Women of our Armed Forces should have to pay for phone calls from Boot Camp. The link above will take you to the website to send the email for the FREE phone cards if you need them. Please spread the word if you know of anyone who can use this great service!!!
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!

Have a good weekend whatever it may bring.
