Sunshine,
So happy to hear that you heard from him. Our daughter called too and I was telling her about him. She said I know him and called him by a nickname (not sure if they gave him the nickname or if it was his prior) She said I think that he is on the phone talking to someone tonight but if not I will definitely tell him as soon as I get back. Our daughter was in great spirits and other than having a pretty bad cold she sounds wonderful. I am sure that you will sleep a little better now knowing that he is doing well. :)

He did say that he's performing and he will be playing the cymbals... At another units PIR I think he said div 922... I was so excited to hear his voice I cried and couldnt compose myself long enough to hear the correct div. But yes he did say that its a coed unit and everyone is working well together..... Hugs to u.... -

Good evening Ladies,
Hope everyone is dong good. I have been reading post on the boot camp site and it breaks my heart to hear about their SR's. Hoping all of our SR's are doing well and looking forward to another letter this week and a phone call would be nice, but after already getting two I wont be upset. Our SR's are 1/2 way thru their journey and looking forward to seeing them on 5/2. Keep in touch.

I am starting a new job and wont be able to watch the two PIR performances that our SR's will be in during the weeks leading up to their PIR. IF you will be watching and could try to record or get some screen captures I would be ever so grateful! Message me and I will let you know what instrument he is on and where to look for him.
Hugs ladies!!

Good evening everyone,
Another Friday down, so very excited. I am not sure, but I think that our SR's will start doing the PIR's come next Friday. The only reason I say that is because Div 922 has been the group training our SR's and they graduate 4/11. Keeping my fingers crossed because I would love to see our daughter early. (if not to hug and kiss, at least to see her on the PIR viideo.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
