Hello,

My son's PIR is 06/01 as well. He is also ship07 div164, although I don't know where he is going after. I believe he changed it. Did you receive a phone call today?? I didn't  :(

Hi chico's mom  I am  Anne and my son Jonathan is with yours. No, I did not get any phone calls yet. We are attending PIR and very excited. Will you be going to any of the meet and greets? We are going to go to Sarge's.

Hi Chico's Mom.
On the right hand side of the main page, there is a listing of events. It Is in may and find the meet and greet. There is information for it and you can get a free shuttle from your hotel. We are staying at spring hill suites at Marriott.

Ann,

I am also staying at the Spring hill suites....I hope we see each other there.!!

Angie

my daughter is in ship9 div 165 but she is going to penscola  too. :)  her PIR is 6/1

My son is also on Ship 07 Div 164. He will be staying in GL for A school. Can't wait for 06/01. No phone call yet.

Yay, you are the third one I found with the same #'s   : )    I am Anne and am very excited to connect and will be attending Sarge's meet and greet and attend PIR from N.J.  No phone call here either.

What is Sarge's meet and greet thingy?? what is that about? is that in a hotel? do we need to stay in that hotel?

Thanks for the info......

Nice to meet you I am Linda. My son's name is Jonathan as well. We will be coming from Texas. We are thinking about Sarge's meet and greet as well. But no firm plans yet. Comforting to hear that you have not received a call either. Misery loves company I guess. Lol!
Hi Linda,
Let me know if you will be attending. It sounds like it will be very informative and you can see me before I am all red in the face and crying at PIR. LOL
Sure. It sounds like good opportunity to connect and informative! Have you heard from your Jonathan yet? We are still waiting to hear from ours. We did receive a letter today. Short but he sounded good. I started practicing crying quite some time ago so I should be good and red in the face by the time we meet! Lol! Have a great evening!

No phone call and hopefully his next letter will be more upbeat. It sounds like it was taking a toll on him. He does not like the food and when he does not eat well, he would always turn into a bear. Still planning for PIR. I think we will come on 5/29 and check out the area for a few days. We were never in Il. Sounds like we will see you at Sarge's. Looking for a good rate for rental at this point. See you soon : )
