 Thank you!!! I just want this ship to stop swaying LOL.

Hello, my son was in the same PIR group, but div 83, and he is now in 94 too. Changes to our schedules were hard but do able. We'll see you next week.

Wow, I bet that was hard. What happened to hold him back?

  They will be fine and pass. This will only make them want it more ( I hope lol ) I was so ready for the ride up to G.L. but another week will be fine. I'm just happy they did not get booted out like some others did...  Goog luck to you & your soon to be S A I L O R....

Oh, we are excited for the Battlestations, PIR and A school, and yes, we are thankful for all the Navy has done for my SR and N4M has done for my hubs and I. I'm happy your SR will graduate too.

My daughter in law says that my son likes his new division. Thank you to your SRs for making him feel comfortable.

 My son will be a CTM & go to Pensacola for " A " school. I wish my husband was driving us to G.L's today, but I can wait a week. I hope my SR adjusted with this DIV with ease & made some new friends... I am not sure if we are going to Sarge's meet & greet yet, but My husband will probably talk me in to it... With a large TG, P.I.R. will be long yet worth the wait to hold my son & congratulate him & to see the look on my hubbies face when he hugs & shakes our sons hand & tells him how proud he is of him...... My husband can't wait to do that, He is so proud of him..... I hope we get to have Saturday with our SR's but we may only have Friday. either way it is going to be one great day for all of us & our SR's.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL DIV's

Oh my, attention to detail can be the difference between life and death in a combat zone, so the Navy is doing all of a favor. And my son just sent a letter saying that his new division was surprised by his overachieving and "attention to detail" which is a motto at bootcamp. Congrats on the E2 and the phone calls and we look forward to seeing you on Thursday and yet again on Friday.

OK!!!!

We won't be at the meet and greet.  we're going out to dinner with our daughter and my SR's girlfriend along with another 094 mom whose son is from our town.  I'll be there Friday though.  Hope to meet you all.  My son is the RPO and Starboard Watch for 094.

Also, my son is going away to A school and what I have heard is that you can meet them at the airport and go to the gate and wait with them.  He will have his orders and know when he is flying by the time you see him on Friday.

 I heard the same thing, I also heard that if it's a charter flight you can not wait with them... I would ask a vet-mom to be sure... I am not going to the meet & greet either, we will be having dinner with my husbands 2 nieces who live near RTC & my dad from FL who is driving to my home in TN then my husband is driving to IL.... He has the whole rout planed out. He even knows where he is stopping for gas & we will stop off the 294  in ROSEMONT to eat at BUONA BEEF!!!! ( Buona.com )when we lived in Berwyn,IL we ate @ the one in Berwyn all the time... & the Vienna beef hot dog on a steamed sesame bun is a must when we are in the Chicago area as well as a deep dish pizza yyyuuummm... LOL boy am I hungry now lol
