Wow. poor guy! I can't imagine going through all that and then be delayed because you fell out of bed.
Hall of Fame division...wow! That's a major accomplishment. (Getting so many flags during their time at bootcamp, I believe. Last PIR or the one before there were 2 divisions that got it. Other than that, I think it's been just one, and maybe none) Man, I wish our boys were together! Div 14 must have come a long way since the beginning...if I remember right, you said they were getting disciplined for a lot of things in the beginning.
Yeah for letters!

Got a letter today. It was addressed to everyone on our side of the family. He said he was short on time because he had to go to the dental clinic again. But he sounded upbeat!! Made my crappy day much better. But miss him a lot today Halloween is his favorite holiday. Lol. Hope everyone got a letter today. Stay Strong three more Fridays.

I thought the same thing Barb. That would stink to hold up your PIR for falling out of bed. The first letter I got from my son he stated his division didn't seem to have a clue. With each letter they were doing better & better. Now he tells me how great they are scoring ! Good for them. It takes time to learn how to work as a team. Patience and persistence !
He also said they may get to make a call and have pizza ! So, division 014 mom's, keep those phones close.

We got a letter!! very short, but so much better than nothing at all!! He didn't date the letter, but said he passed his Pfa on the day before he wrote. I would assume that meant he took the Pfa on Friday, and wrote the letter on Saturday (this has been a major prayer of mine, that he will pass it, and not hold off until the third attempt. He said it was a major boost!). He said that the division (013) is down to 77 from 83, and still shrinking (if you want info on why, you can pm me). It's so hard to think of all these guys willing to give of themselves, and not making it. I do wonder how the numbers work out on those who get lots of letters, prayers and love from home vs those who don't. I came across n4ms by fluke, but I don't know that I would have kept up writing every day if I didn't have the 'inside story' from you all. It keeps me writing (not always exciting stuff, but it's a hand-written letter to my SR, so hopefully he understands that we are behind him!) It's Thursday here...3 weeks from tomorrow!

We received a letter last night and it seems like everything is going well! He misses home and his phone and laptop!! Reminded me so far in every letter to be sure I remembered to bring them with us to PIR. Looking so forward to hearing his voice soon, hoping they are able to call home soon. His letters are always fairly upbeat which makes it a little easier. Hope everyone is having a good day! We are almost there!!!

I'm very sorry to hear about the SR falling out of bed. I sure hope he is ok. I'm also concerned about hearing of division 013 losing all of those SR's. Yes my son is in division 013 but didn't mention that. Of course the letters are not that long.

Yay Barb ! So glad you got a letter and he passed his PFA (?) Whew....
Yes, SallyM, My phone has become another appendage of mine. Once this is over it will have to be surgically removed because my skin grew over it ! Lol
If I hear any more about the SR condition I'll let you all know.
Happy Halloween everyone. It is pouring buckets here so not sure how many Trick or Treater's we'll get. Too bad for the kids.
Clock says 21 days !!!
