@ Chickadee - this is what I posted earlier on FB and at BootCamp for Moms and at the PIR 02/01/2013 N4Ms site: Ship 03/Div 082 - I GOT MY FIRST LETTER last night!!!!! Yeah!!!!!! He told me that their first actual day of BC was last Friday and that they were in P Days from the time they arrived on 12/5. He said that they really didn't do much during P Days. He said that the days are going quickly and the guys in his division are cool and some have become like brothers. "The food is okay . . . ." He also said that 5 people already quit and have gone home. He also got sick and still was as he wrote his letter. He is worried about the upcoming test that they have next week as he does not want to get set back. He also said that he has read the note I put in his wallet so many times that he has lost count. He also told me that he misses all of us and that he loves me and that he was sorry if never said it enough. That's my BOY! I love him and miss him so much!!! He said that "my RDCs are pretty cool for RDCs at least." He mentioned that he needs me to send his debit card - not sure why, but I sent him with a Visa debit card to use if he needed anything. He is looking forward to graduation. I am hopeful that he does well on his testing and pray that he does not get set back. Please say a prayer that he does well on his tests. Thank you!Chickadee - is your SR in our Ship/Division? Have you gone out to the FB site yet? I'd love to connect with you out there and let my son know your SR's last name so they can connect, if possible.

Thank you for the update. I have been trying to pinpoint what my husband is doing using a post from Navydep (link posted) and through N4M posts. I guess they're finishing up week one right now. According to the post, the test he is referring to will be on first aid, enlisted rate/rank recognition, uniform and grooming, and us navy ships and aircraft. I have faith our men will do well (:
I really hope my husband isn't sending his mail to my university address. I'm so anxious to receive his mail, I might breakdown if I have to wait another day!
I haven't checked out the FB site yet because I wasn't sure which is the official group for this site. Is it "Navy for moms" with the tsunami icon? or "Navy moms on facebook"?

FB Site, you will need to friend Kathy DeCarlo and let her know that your SR is in the 02/01/2013 PIR Group and request access as it is a closed group. Sorry I missed your IM, but I was out of the house for about an hour. As an aside, my Stepdad used to call me Chickadee (a bird in flight) when I was a child and he continued that tradition until his passing in March 2004.

Thank you! I have joined and was accepted. In addition, I have made a post.
Black capped chickadees are my favorite song birds as they remind me of playground swings. That's a unique nickname. How did it come to be?

Chickadee, I am trying to locate your post, but do not know what you wrote. I placed a prayer for our SRs this morning on my timeline and I also posted in the PIR 02/01/2013 PIR FB Page last Friday that I received my first letter. Please find me and friend me on FB.

Hey everyone, hope you all are doing well. I'm hanging in there but the closer we get to Christmas, the sadder I'm getting that my SR is not here with all of us. I'm doing my best to concentrate on the positives so that I don't start getting all emotional again!!! It's hard to listen to all the Christmas songs without getting teary eyed..... or maybe I'm just PMS'ing...HAHAHAHA!!!!! :) Whatever it is, I'm definitely more emotional right now but I'm trying my best to hold it together.
So with that said, I wanted to ask you guys which meet and greet you were thinking about going to? I keep hearing that Sarge's is the best one??? Or maybe Flannigan's? @Photomom, I think you mentioned Flannigans.... So what do you all think? Just curious which one everyone is going to. Hopefully we will all go to the same one so we can finally meet in person. I can't wait for FEB. 1st!!!!! Hugs to all...

I RSVPd for Flanigans, but I want to go to Sarge's. I am going to call him about transportation while we are there.
