I have been out of town for the weekend but did get my call on Friday @ about 5:00 CST. My son sounded good - said he is enjoying his experience. His A School will be in Great Lakes. We are driving in for the PIR - we only live about 3 hours away in WI. He wants us to bring his dog so we will have to stay at the Motel 6. He had 30 minutes for his call - after about 15 minutes with me said he wanted to call some friends :( Left the house and came home to his voice on our machine saying he still had a little time left to talk. I wouldn't have left had I have known he might call back!!! I didn't know the 929 was an all male division? He did say news from the outside world would be welcome - I think I am going to send him some of my Time Magazines. We don't have much longer moms!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know about these "colors" or "ribbons" we should be wearing to PIR? I was planning on wearing a dress but I am not sure about these ribbons or colors.
I emailed the lady about the ribbons. We don't have to have them. When I know something I will post about it.
we got our call on Friday evening! We were a little disappointed that we only got a few min. apparently he had trouble with his phone card, but thankful for whatever. He will be a door guard, which means we probably wont see him during the ceremony. He also is headed to Pensacola for A school the very next morning. He told us to keep the letters coming as everyone loves mail call. He said he has met lots of other fellow christians, which was good to hear!
Nrainygrl,
He mentioned he would be leaving sat. morning didnt say what time. They got their first mail call at the 2 week point on thursday. He said everyone was very emotional, he got 15 letters! It may be that your son was on duty during call time and not sure if they get another chance til the end. We got letters from him last wed. and he said they were just being able to take the time to write. I sure hope he is one of those meeting together for prayer. He did mention they were praying for each other! We were disappointed that we would not be able to see him during the pir ceremony as the door guard salutes and stands guard on the outside of the door. But just trying to stay thankful!
thanks for the encouragement. Im so glad you heard from him! God has never failed us. Our sr is my nephew, who we helped to raise, so very much like ours. That is wonderful that your son was assigned to Religious Petty officer! Ours did not mentioned a job within the div. yet. The letters we received yesterday were very short due to time.
