Glad to hear our boys are friends!! but my memory is failing me! I know they were both going to be corpsmen, right? And is your son going to GL for school? What for? And you got a note from him today or yesterday? Are you writing on days other than Sunday? Have you told me your son's last name? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks! Robin
I didn't see this until now...but absolutely you just go right up to that forum and join in the conversation...I made up each of these discussions so that members of the same divisions could find each other...
Hello nice to meet you,we are all waiting for that great day when we can see or men and women, we can say kids any more lol.walk out inn white .Hope to see you there.
No I don't think there are many of us! I haven't heard how many there are but there are 13 divisions so I bet there about 80 ! I ll let you know if I get anything hang in there we can do this too! Lol Ttyl Tammy

Oh my goodness we have much in common already. I LOVE fluff fiction books..and I think the KINDLE is the greatesst invention. When I want to read I can right now. I too have a strong Christian faith. In my son's letter he said "mom, I found my way back to the Lord." That ws music to my ears. Won't you join us in the PIR group and get ready for graduation and get to know others in the PIR group as well as your division. If you know others in the groups you've been in with this same PIR encourage them to join as well!!
