No call yet ! The phone thing is making me crazy! I had to got to Costco and Walmart today! I was praying to God please if he calls let it be on my cell! At home I'm constantly carrying them both around! Got another letter today though! he made E2. Hope I'm allowed to say that! LOL! What I want to know is; What alien has inhabited my son? Three letters so far.... I never in my wildest dreams thought he would write even one~! I told my hubby he wouldn't write. I should have put him in the Navy when he was about 12! Fabulous penmanship again too! Keep hanging in! My stomach is in knots! Just need to hear his voice! I'm even carrying both phones into the bathroom with me! For crying out loud!

I know Ellen, I got my phone call yesterday also. I was at work and just stopped what I was doing to talk for 15 mins. It was the best 15mins I ever had. I got in trouble for it later but it was all worth it to hear my baby girl's voice. Can't wait to see her in uniform.

We got the call as well. Everyone except my husband was around, so we put the call on speaker! So excited to hear from her! She sounds great and loves being in the military! Sounds like their division is doing well. We got to talk to for 15 minutes. I agree--best 15 minutes ever!
Our family keeps praying for everyone in the division. We pray that they all stay healthy, and that they would continue to work as a team. Go 066!

Haha! We have the RDCs to thank for the new and improved versions of our SRs! I've been trying to get my kid to hang to up her wet towel for 18 years. She's always thrown it in her closet with her dirty laundry. Now she writes me that she folds it and places it 'on spot' for inspection. Seriously?!
How quick can I sign up my other kids for boot camp?

Hello All,
My name is Francis, and my daughter is in this division. My daughter's name is (wait can I say that)? I can't wait to the day that I get to see her again. Feb. 10th can't come fast enough. I would love to talk to someone about this experience. It has been a long lonely road for me, thankfully I have my two boys here to keep me strong. I know that this is the best thing that she could have done. There is nothing here in Michigan for her. Now she can go venture out and view the world not just read about it. I have been so proud of her before but nothing compares to the joy and pride I have for her now.

Hi Francis! So glad to have you in our group! You will find a lot of strength and support by talking with each of these ladies - I certainly have! By having others we can talk to and ask questions we can gain more information of how they are doing. AND... some of the other moms have some previous experience with all of this and that really helps!!! Will you be coming to PIR? If so - I look forward to meeting you!

Message us personally with your daughter's name and we'll write our kids and ask if they know her.
