Gammi,
I understand your worries. I relate totally! My big concern is wisdom teeth removal. I hadn't thought of the innoculations but they can make the kids feel kinda lousy for sure. Once we know the division numbers of our recruits and their PIR dates we will know if they are in same division. I don't know how much socializing they have been able to do yet but I am sure there is a lot of bonding going on with the girls. I bought a stack of greeting cards last night to send one every other day after we get the address. Some of the cards are humorous and some are serious and supportive. I think they will be glad to see anything from home when they get their first batch of mail!

I haven't received any letters other than The Box and the form letter with her address, but have been mailing a letter most every day, and including a joke most days for her. I figure my daughter would rather have a good laugh to release tension than crying over it all! I signed up for Sarge's Meet & Greet on June 7th. Will you be going to that? Did you make any reservations yet? I reserved a room at the Navy Lodge, but may have to change the reservation if my daughter doesn't get liberty for the entire weekend after graduation...but I can do that up until June 7th, so it isn't a problem.
I wonder about the wisdom teeth, too...seems awfully difficult to have to go through that along with all the other BC stress!

Aviation structural mechanics even though his degree is in Law Enforcement. Guess no jobs in that right now.

Hi everyone...
I finally got "The Letter" which said her PIR date is June 8, she is Ship 03 Div. 176, so if any of your kids turn up in that bunch, let me know and perhaps we can try to meet at the graduation?

I got the box then the letter then a phone call. She had a phone pass to ask questions of family members for security clearance. our PIR date is June 8, Ship 03 Div 176. She hates it...but that is to be expected!
