Hi Victoria.....Welcome...Thanks for the information...So far I have not looked at booking anything. I know for sure my husband will be going to PIR, but it is up to my bosses at work if I will be able to go...:( Its our busy season from Jan1- Mar15 and there is a freeze on using any vacation time. I have been on vacation since we got the PIR date so when I go back to work on Tues I will be begging and pleading to get the few days off. I am not getting my hopes up, but it would be a nice surprise....
I hope everyone has a great day !!!

I hope your bosses will see it as a show of support for our military ad let you go. I am acting as a n interim manager in our ER and we go live with a new computer system Feb 1. I am praying they do not postpone our go live date. It would be hard to go during the mess we will have.

Praying that you can make it- I understand how hectic it can be with work- Im an independent contractor for insurance so I will be missing a week's pay, because my sale days are wed-fri. But if you can do it that would be so great. Did you see the PIR video? I posted it somewhere on here. It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.

My boyfriend is Ship 03 Division 070 also. He left 12/13, still no letter from him- and I think I am scaring my mail man. (I come flying out of the house to the mail box when I hear him coming down the street.) I will definitely be going to PIR, wouldn't miss it for the world!

Mail men may need hazard duty pay while we have loved ones in the military. :) I know I have been scaring mine.

LOL. me too- Been harrassing workers at the post office to make sure their scales are correct for the weight of the letter and it doesn't need postage so it will get to my son with zero problems.
im sending out my 5th letter today with his sister, I'm going to send him a book of stamps too

Happy New Year All! Have been on the website for a week now trying to absorb as much information as I can. Like many, I'm new to this and am so happy to have a place to go to see how other families are getting along while their sons & daughters take on this amazing challenge and commitment to serve their country. I'm so proud! This website has given me an education and a closeness to my son and what he is experiencing although the miles separate us. My son left MEPS in Syracuse on the 13th of December and his PIR is 2/17/12. Christmas was hard and even harder still was him not being here to celebrate his 30th birthday on the 29th. We received his box on the 20th and his form letter on the 23rd, but so far, no other communications. Like others, have had my cell phone by my side constantly in hopes of getting a call and check the mailbox everyday! As is repeated throughout these forums, I guess "no new is good news!" We've made our flight & rental car reservations for PIR and are working on hotels. (finding that some of the discount codes don't work or aren't valid when booking on the internets, so I guess we'll make some phone calls!) Thank you everyone for all your input and I look forward to coming back daily for updates. God Bless & Happy New Year

Hi Michelle and Welcome...together we are here for each other to make this journey our children have chosen for us...new, different, challenging and exciting all in one big roller coaster of a ride daily. Seems like I have learned something new everyday from this site.
I don't know if any of you are of face book, but on Tuesdays there is a trivia contest that they have on the RTC face book page at 12noon...the first person to answer get to request the picture of their SR's Division posted...I know I will be trying...:)
