Thank you IowaMom and FTLW for your response. I was able to find the picture, but do not see my son on it. Somehow he must have missed it. I did receive a letter from him on yesterday, however. That made me very happy. I can hardly wait for graduation. Again, thanks!

Welcome to our new moms/wives! Glad to see our division pulling together just like our SRs. Thank you IowaMOM for alerting me to the fact that our picture was finally up. Went to work glowing! Then, was so blessed when my son called later that day! God is great! Like a thousand pounds lifted from my chest! He sounded wonderful! Came home today to TWO letters. He too had teeth pulled and wrote during his recoop time. He says the time is flying by....boy, he should be in our shoes!

Hello Moms and Wives, I'm new to N4M. I am so so excited to be able to communicate with everyone. We have received several letters and a few phone calls. I missed his first call. I almost cried, however, he left me a voice mail and now I can listen to him anytime I want!!! My son also had all his wisdom teeth pulled. I find it funny how many recruits had their teeth pulled. Does anyone know why?

Thanks for the welcome! FTLW, I just read your post regarding What to bring to PIR. Thank your for that, it answered so many of my questions. Mainly what to wear, I wasn't sure how dressy PIR is. We are in Arizona and I have seen snow maybe 10 times in the last 40 years, so as you can imagine, I don't exactly have the appropriate clothing for very cold weather. Time to go shopping! IowaMom, thanks for the info regarding wisdom teeth, I agree, that makes so much since to have them pulled now instead of while at sea or another time when it would be really inconvenient. I joined facebook just so I could see their picture. It took me hours, but finally, thanks to the posts on this page, I found it!!! I loved it!!
