It is not too late to make the payment and not to late to order ribbons. I hope you all have a great week.

Thanks Piper, I am so glad you like them :-) They do look a million times better in person. I wish I could get some better pics but I have tried and tried and the pictures never do the justice :-)

~*~ MAIL CALL ~*~ GOOD NEWS 02/944! Our division won the Zone Flag and the Drill Flag! Bad News - they killed 52 of their own during Marlinespike. She writes that she ordered photo packages. She is worried about the last major test before Battle Stations 21. Says she won't be able to write as much during these next two weeks, extremely busy but asks for letters of support. She is asking me to send off football stats and says her bunkmate's name is "O" x x x "R". Anyone got a SR with those in their name? Begins with an "O", ends with a "R". Just wondering :-) Seven letters in 6 weeks...I'm happy with that!!!!

I got a much needed letter from my SR! Its definetly improved my mood. On Monday and Tuesday I was so depressed and was missing the hell out of him. I have so missed his daily hey mom what ya doin call. Hes always sounds so postive in his letters and never one complaint. Which I am glad I would probably worry more. Said he received his first Ribbon but didnt exactly tell me what it was for. Thats my boy never gives all the detail. He said he loves the comic strip at the bottom of each letter. Thank you for who every mentioned it on here it was a great idea! He said all he wants to do after PIR is to hang out and eat Pizza!
