If my son makes a call I will add your mother law's name to my son's PIR. It would be nice since medical reasons I can't attend, that we are helping some other families, and his chairs won't be empty.

Finally got some letters today from my SR!! And I guess today is their final PFA! I remember seeing someone post what it was, but I can't remember. And from what my SR said, that after the final PFA, they have test number 3 and battlestations!
Has anyone else heard from their SR lately? Oh, and I guess no one has heard exactly what happens to them after PIR (when they fly out or anything) because I guess whenever it gets time to get their orders, they mess up, lol. I'm sure they might know by now though. Hopefully we get some phone calls soon too! (: -

Good to know that today is their last PTA. I'll be praying that everyone passes. I hope to get a letter today too, but I'm so excited about seeing him next Friday even if I don't get a letter I'm ok =)

opps, I guess I meant PTA lol Me too! He seemed a little worried about it, but knew they would all pass. Seems like they've been able to pass alot of things without trouble, so I doubt this will be any different! (:
And yes, after tomorrow, it will be OUR turn to see our SR's!! So excited!!!!!! -

My son is from another Div but just wanted to tell you that I appreciated your posting. Sounds like my son...I just unpacked his suitcase from where he was living with his cousin in NC. It was neater than I thought except for the socks. Anyways, probably too much info. Thanks again.

Thanks Tylermom for all the great info. We haven't had a letter since he called last so it's nice to hear how they are doing. Hopefully my son isn't one who is getting them in trouble! I don't think so, but then again, he is rather messy. We live in the Chicago area, so hopefully we're going home for the day on Friday. Friends and family coming over. He did say in his last letter that he thought he would be leaving on Saturday. I hope not, but I'll take whatever time I can get with him. Can't believe it is actually our turn for PIR. I'm so proud of him and can't wait to watch 12/312 march proudly in.

Thats funny we live in Groton just past westford . Boys were junior and freshman in high school and twins max and jessica were in 5th grade ...huge difference here big struggle to settle just not Minnesota nice !!
Max said they were from all over the states which has been fun .I think he is looking forward to getting to A school so many of their friends went earlier like last year and this and for max it was just a waiting game to finish with high school . He has wanted to be in the Navy forever !

hey...I have a question??? Has their Division already done Battle Station. I was reading the information on it and it said we would receive phone calls if they made it thru...I have not received that call so I was wondering how you know???

No they go tomorrow and Wednesday. My son wrote in his last letter that he would be calling on Wednesday. I am sure it is for their whole DIV, I think its the "I'm a sailor" call :)
