Hello,
I got a phone call yesterday evening. I was so happy, and I'm still happy to have finally heard my son's voice. I did receive his letter last Thursday as well. My son had his MRI, but he is supposed to see the doctor today to be told the result of the MRI. He said he would ask to give me a quick call to let me know the result. So I'm hoping and praying it is good news, and whatever the outcome, I told him we'll get through it. He said either way, he'll finish, whether it's on the 3/28 PIR, or later after he's healed. He said he feels good, so he's hoping he'll be allowed back to continue physical training, as he'd been placed on the side since his knee incident. I'm keeping my faith that things go well, & praying daily.
Hope everyone else's SR's are doing well. And hoping I get to meet you all at the PIR graduation :).

I just said yes, as of right now its a plan. I have to check in with the natives...son and mother are coming, and the coordination of everyone's needs is not a fine art yet:) Just wrote my SR another letter, with a page full of pics. Is your family coming as well? Is that something you already posted and I need to go back and find, lol. Be patient with me, i haven't played with a site like this in a long time....lots, lots of links and threads.

Hi Nubnjoy! Kristie and I found out that our daughters are working on the division flag together! It is so exciting to meet the Moms of some of the Recruits our daughters are with! Send me your daughters name in a private message and I will ask my daughter if she knows yours! My SR is one of the SR Petty Officers so she knows just about everyone in the Division. =)

Sweet! I sent Kristie the msg, about my SR. I couldn't send directly to you, due to friend request pending. So excited that your daughter is doing such awesome things during her boot-camp experience!
