Remember me saying that I mailed my son motivational letters to pass out to his division and his brother division 48, well I got a letter yesterday from a SR in division 48 thanking me and saying thank you that it came at a time when he really needed some kind words. This made me feel good to think it made a difference to someone. I was worried that the RDC's might not allow my SR to hand these out, I am glad they allowed them.
Well ladies only 3 weeks and 2 days to PIR can you believe it very exciting

Praise God your son was allowed to distribute them! Funny, I was just thinking about them the other day, as I had mentioned to my son in a letter that you had mailed them in hopes that your son would be able to pass them out. So nice to hear such a positive message was allowed!!! I'll have to ask my son in my next letter if he received one. Thank you on his behalf for sending it! That was such a thoughtful and kind thing for you to do!
I can't believe our long wait is actually now on the shorter side! We're over halfway there! 1/27 will be one of the most special days of our lives! I can't wait to share it with my son and family and many of yours!

So Does anyone know when they call home to let us know when they have officially become a sailor? It seems that most people get theirs the day before PIR but I wasn't sure. Wanted to have my cell phone close by when the time came.

It is my understanding because division 47 is the first division in our training group that they with another division or more will be the first to go thru battlestations. Therefore, we will get our call as the first group of SR's going thru. I don't know what day that would be, but I would anticipate it earlier like maybe Monday or Tuesday of graduation week. Does anyone else have adt'l info on this?
