Hey all, I loved the unexpected call from my SR today! She seems more calm than the first call home, but she's still really homesick. Poor thing. I tried to keep our convo positive and asked for any requests from home: She requested lotion and more calling cards. Anyone else get any special requests?

Lol. My daughter tried to ween herself off of coffee before she left for bootcamp. It's the simplest things.

Good Afternoon All
Wanted to pass on a couple of notes from Sarge for when you get to your hotels. A lot of parents decorate their hotel room doors in support of their Sailors PIR. So lets rock those doors with some RED WHITE AND BLUE!!! He is asking that you also pass the word about the Meet and Greet at the Sundance Saloon to everyone coming so he can get an accurate head count. This is a family oriented get together with a full buffet, DJ and raffles and prizes. He is asking that you RSVP as soon as possible so he can account for plenty of food.
***We are looking for donations of raffle baskets or raffle items and volunteers to help with the distribution of name tags and the selling of raffle tickets before dinner. Please let me know if you are interested.***
He also asked that I pass on something fun for our divisions. This is new for our PIR Meet and Greet the DJ will be asking all willing moms and grandmothers to come to the dance floor and each division. Then we will dance to the song “In the Navy”. The winning moms of their division of this dance contest will win a gift certificate for division t-shirts from US Boot Camp Gear. So lets show those other divisions that we got moves!

Melany225 2/4 was the last time I heard from my SR he said they were a push unit due to the storms when they first got there. He said no more calls until aftert they completed Battle Station. Not sure if it goes for all DIV with the PIR of 3/7 but it might.
