hey, it was good meeting you too! what a great weekend...It was so good to see my daughter Laura. they sure looked good in their dress whites right? Now she is on hold at SA for A school. but thats ok, she is enjoying the down time....good luck on your next PIR! at least you will have it down!!
HI there. Does your son graduate on June 1st?? did you get a letter from him or some kind of acknowlegement that he was gonna graduate? I am so worried. there are 7 of us flying out to see my SR graduate and I had to risk it and put in for the flights cuz they kept going up in prices...... hope to hear from you soon.
That is a cute picture of your twins!! I have a very similiar one of my twins in a sailor outfit when they were 1 year old!!! I think I'll get a double frame and put that picture in with his graduation photo!!! haha!!
Hello Twins, I received the letter today and PIR is 6/1. I have been looking for flights, hotels, car... Have you booked yet? Any suggestions...? I am new at this. It is going to be expensive so I am up to saving anywhere I can. Thanks, Shell
I just got an "I need information" phone call it was GREAT to finally hear his voice, said he is doing ok... and these first few days have been rough, not enough sleep, ha. He is a section leader, I asked him if he knew your son, he wasn't sure as they go by last names. Tyler got to talk as well, I know he has been worried about his big brother. I am thankful there was no school today so we were both home:)
He told me his division was a good one, so that is a relief also.
I asked him about the PIR date, as I have not received my letter, he says to wait as he has to pass something first. So...? I do know BC is 7.5 to 9 weeks. Did you get your letter?
Hi twinsmom, I saw that your son is ship 11 div 167...that is where my son is. Can we exchange their names on this site? Also we are from Oregon. shell
