It has been a couple weeks since hearing from my daughter. They were starting "hell week". Does anyone know what that includes and what week they are officially on? Counting down the days until PIR.

My mom got letters today from my SR she usually gets them from a day before we do-He sounded good & had passed his running test! So hopefully I will get letters & you will to this week only 15 more days to go!

Thanks. So happy for you! It's such a relief to hear from them. We have booked our flight and hotel so we're ready and waiting. There is a countdown clock on this website that breaks down the days hours minutes and seconds. Enjoy looking at it occasionally. I'm like a child counting down to Christmas.

Just found out about a great site for Navy PIR ribbons for family members and ordered through the link below. Check it out.
The ribbons are a great way to show your pride and support for your Sailor. They also make it easy to recognize others from the same division and they make a wonderful keepsake. Here is a link to the website http://www.uniquememorymakers.com/main.sc.

Received a letter from the Commander informing us that our SR has been selected as Honor Recruit for Division 276. There are no words to describe how proud we are.

My daughter is too! I can't wait to see her next week. Are you going to PIR?

OH YES INDEED!!! My whole family is coming. We cannot wait to see him. I have not heard much from him. I am looking for activities to do while we are there. He stays for the weekend.
