Has anyone heard about a Meet and Greet on Sept. 10th? I saw a couple posts on the Naval Command Facebook page about a Meet and Greet with your SR the day before PIR. I also read that parents/guests were planning on wearing red, white, and blue since PIR is on Sept. 11th. Great idea!

There is no Meet and Greet with your Sailor the day before PIR, but there is a Meet and Greet the night before for all those attending PIR.
Sarge is the one who puts it on and it is a great place to meet others with recruits in the same TG, and he has lots of information for you.
Here is the link for his Meet and Greet

Gavin's Mom,
We have heard from our son in his letters that the 299 division has had their phone calls taken away as punishment for at least once for over a week ago, and it was possibly taken away for this past weekend as well. :( Sharing your wishes to hear our son's voice, too!

I sent my SR a questionnaire last week, along with a SASE. Today, I got it back. He answered all my questions. I used some of the questions suggested and added my own too. It was so great to get to know how he was doing. Especially since we haven't gotten a call from him yet. My favorite one, was I asked who he loved more, his RDC or Mom. He answered "Mom, because when I wouldn't get something you would just say study. My RDC makes me do push ups and write it 50 times!" Made my day!

I sent my SR questions too. It was good to get this info. Probably wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. :)
So ready to hear his voice again. -

My son is in 300. I have received several letters but no calls,yet. I have suspected he called his girlfriend. She left home this week to start college,so he may have called to give her encouragement. He is thoughtful like that. Hope to hear his voice soon. Thanks for letting me share. :)

We got one call after that first "I'm here" call. We have received two letters. He is writing his girlfriend the most though. :) she is so sweet to share some of his good news though. Hopefully calls tomorrow.

Hi, Bugandboos. I finally received one call. Hope you have too by now. Please message me to see if we can determine if our sons know each other. Like to talk with moms that have kids in the same division and ship as my son
