DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

I got a call!!!! Exactly what I needed. I had been feeling down.

I'm happy for you. 11 more days:)

Hello all, I look forward to meeting each of you soon!

Hi VeganMom! same here:)

I am so happy to join this group. I missed my sons (Div. 205) call Friday - the first one I've missed. It has been nice to see others received calls and enjoyed good conversation. I read a post somewhere suggesting to send recruit an index card for the recruit to fill out when he/ she gets orders. The suggested info to put on the card were things like time of departure, airport, where to meet, etc. the recruit fills it out then gives it to family at PIR. This will cut down on possible confusion! It was a great post. I would like to follow this suggestion but now I can't find the post! Has anyone seen this?

That would be great to know. I hope someone can confirm.

I just want to update you all because I received another call friday 4pm, 38 mins. I think all DIV 205 were able to call. The 8 people who got into trouble are now back with them and will graduate on time too. Let's continue praying and encouraging our future sailors!

This time next week we will be ready to head to GL! All of a sudden the wait is almost over. I wish all of you safe travels and look forward to meeting you but most of all I can't wait to see my son!! Prayers and good thoughts for the coming week for our future sailors

Yes and I cannot wait. Prayers and safety for us all!
