For everyone who ordered ribbons to wear to PIR they have all been shipped even the ones that were ordered last night and this morning. You should have them within 2 to 3 days and I am sure many of you have already received yours that were ordered earlier. It is almost time for PIR and I know you are all EXCITED about that :-) If anyone missed out on ordering ribbons and would like to get them please contact me ASAP. I have a very quick turn-around and ship Priority mail so there is still time to get them before you leave if you order quickly. Just send me a friend request on this site or an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks everyone for making my ribbons a part of your very special event.

Good news- got 2 letters today! Bad news- because he was SIQ and had extra time to write. Seems to have had that thing so many of the guys have had with a high temp requiring an IV and antibiotics. He was very excited that they had done well on their drill inspection and have earned 'independent steaming' which means they can march around the base without the RDC's. They got extra food in the galley for the Navy's 236th birthday. They are looking forward to the Captain's Cup. Their RDC's told them if they win, they get to IT them, so they "are all VERY motivated to win." It is getting colder and raining every other day but the sunny days are pretty nice. He is really looking forward to comfortable underwear. I can't believe we leave in a week!

Letter from my SR says they passed Drill Inspection, with the ability to march without the RDCs. Got an extra entree at dinner on the Navy's Birthday. Said they have lost 8-10 guys so far. Wants more of the Div Wacky Wed photos printed for some of the other guys in the unit, said the 20 I sent were gone in like 2 min. I'd say it was a good picture huh?? Dosn't want to do much after graduation but rest and eat some pizza...real Chicago pizza he says. He gave me a Battle Stations date, I sent it on to DiannEP. Message me if you got one in your letter and we can compare. Remember DO NOT post BS dates on here only in private message. My SR said this would be his last letter, because he was afraid he wouldn't have time to mail them before A School. Hope everyone receives a letter.
