I got a letter today. Son is on crutches for a pulled hamstring and is on crutches and has to have x-ray for stress fracture. (He has had more medical stuff done on him while in boot camp than he has his whole life). He is on light duty for 10 day by Dr's orders (hope that doesn't set him back for PIR) :( He said the upside is that he passed his PI/WTI and zone inspection with perfect scores.

I got a letter too! My SR seems much better now than he did in the very beginning. It sounds like they have all got the hang of what they are supposed to be doing up there. He said that everything is getting easier. I am so glad for him.
I will be only 10 days from my due date when we are at his graduation. It would be quite an exciting trip to have a Chicago baby! It would be much better to take care of one thing at a time though. We are hoping that they let him leave A school during the first week so that he can be there for the birth.

My SR said that there are only 7 divisions graduating that day, and there are normally 15. That means there should be room for overflow. We have 6 adults coming so we are hoping that the extra two get to attend.

So I finally found out today why on Christmas day I allowed myself to sit here for several hours literally feeling my mind slipping deeper in a funk all because I couldn't recognize my son in the pic. The thought that he wouldn’t be in it never crossed my mind that day so I felt like the world’s worst mom for not picking him right out!!!! Well he wasn't in it he was gone to church. Of course now I have been living in a fantasy world thinking that this other guy in the back row was him cause that’s what a lot of my family said and I must say that out of everyone he looks the most like my SR!!!!! Bahahaha!

Just a heads up for those who ordered ribbons and scarves or anything else from me. Some of those orders have already been shipped. I am working on the remainder of those orders over the next day or so and they will be shipping and one their way as I get them done. Be looking for those in the mail from the middle to the end of this week. Let me know if you have any questions. I don't always check the discussion pages so send me a message or friend request and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks again for the orders. Lora (aka Lala)

Wow how very rude of me to not tell about mine when I asked....well it was pretty late. My Sr will be headed off to Pensacola, FL he said in his last letter for 8-26 weeks. He will be training to be an aviation electronics technician.
From what I understand the "sailor" call won't be til less than a week before PIR. I know everyday that passes without him calling is hard. We are so used to the instant reply that having to wait a week on an answer is really teaching me some patients. LOL!
