2 weeks from today, ladies... how exciting!!!!  Keep pushing yourselves & stay strong 07/339!!
Oh my, I am so excited! Can't wait for that call!

I hear of so many being ill & injured.  I'm just hoping they all stay strong & fight the fight to get to the end.  They are so busy right now. And there is alot left to do for them.  My SRs letters are short.  I know he's tired but determined to accomplish this. It's great to hear his determination for him & for his team to achieve more!!

My little brother called home Saturday and told my mom he is pretty sick. He has been confined to his bunk for three days and he was pulled from the RPCO lead position because of that. :( He has some sort of virus/flu. They gave him some meds which did nothing. He also has pink eye in both eyes (again). He already had it several weeks ago too. This is very odd to me, since my brother is usually pretty healthy. :( Poor kid.. Worse case senario, he will not graduate on time. He told my mom he is pretty sure he still can graduate on 10/7 but there is always that chance he gets sicker or misses more days and gets pushed back. :( They wont let them take multi vitamins either. (which our mom has always pushed on us.. so we are big vitamin takers.lol) I guess we will just wait and see..
I could not have made it through this without this site , so grateful for all of you, my boy is one of the sweetest, honest , easy goin, people I know, good cook, too he actually scolded my husband before he left, he said " dad you really have to make sure and help mom out, I want her to be taken care of", oh dang it, now I am makin myself cry! Have a good weekend all! I'm gonna picture that first hug, oh can't hardly wait!

Just got a call from my 7/339 SR! So happy!

 

No, no call last weekend. Yes, we are getting so close to PIR. Now it is getting exciting!
Omg that's my SR s division!

Hey my SR is in 339. This is my first post. I feel like I've lost the last weeks just by browsing these posts.:( I was spposed to get a call on the 24th but didn't. My SR has been sick the entire time but is ready for 10/7. Do you know how much time we get with them after PIR?
