Hi ladies,
I am soooo happy for you both getting the letters =) I dont want you ladies to feel bad you should feel so proud =)
as I am sure you are. I talk to Breeona everyday, it will take about 10 more days for out processing/discharge.
She is fine the diagnosis is a poor one. she does not have an anxiety disorder.she is in the SEP unit with a girl that is being discharged for being allergic to mushrooms, they dug around in her civilian med docs right before garduation. at this point Breeona is in good spirits and is taking this in stride. Breeona would like to be a Dentist so we start the journey of student loans =(
A good word though, Breeona said Bootcamp was easy and amazing, and the food is GREAT!! lol
I feel fortunate to have met you both thank you for the support, I will always think of you both and your boy n girl, specially on September 24th =) I will keep this account to check in and see how you are, I would love to hear about graduation and share in your joy!!!
Hugs to you both. -

I'm not trying to invade your discussion, I just want to add...So, along with the discussion about the M&G....If we were to decide to relocate the M&G I would be willing to get it relocated, but that would mean that each family would need to pay for their own meal/bill.
And on that note, I'm wondering if your division wants to do something as a group to make easier to find each other....Pins, sashes, scarves, etc... but they've been around for a long time and each division is responsible for doing their own if they want to. It's not a necessity, but it does help you locate the members in your specific division.
You have so many options... different colored scarves, lanyards, sashes, t-shirts, hats, etc... get creative and think of something unique to all of you and work with the talent in your Div. You will be surprised what all you come up with. It really is just a fun thing to do to make each division easy to stand-out at the M&G.
I don't need to be "notified of the results" of your decision. There has also been discussion of maybe not doing it by division , just doing something for our whole PIR group. -

Donna, how are things going for you? Hang in there, Momma. I am looking forward to my letter this week already. Also, my daughter has one more thing to go through tomorrow in relation to her medical records and I am hoping it all turns out ok.
Have a Terrific Tuesday! :) -
