Texas Mom... That's really nice of you. My kids not there, but I could have used someone the other night : ) My son missed dinner and had cancelled his debit card, so he was out of luck. It was my first (and hopefully only) time I've ordered a piz...

Kathleen replied to wamom's discussion 'No letter yet' in the group PIR 9/3
Hi there Wamom, My son is in the same ship/ div as yours. We'd gotten a short letter on the same day his gf did (about a week ago), then she rec'd another the next day. We haven't heard from him by phone, but they say no news is good news... I'm s...

Wow... that seems late, but I have no idea why they do the things they do. I know there is a purpose for everything. Would he have sent it to another address? I was worried my son may get our address incorrect, but I'm happy to say he didn't. I'm ...

I'm still waiting on the form letter. My son is in Div 305 ship 14, I wonder why some get the letter out faster than others? Anyone hear from their son/daughter in that Div?

He's in Ship 14, Div 304 with a PIR of Sept 3. My husband was in the Airforce many years ago and still insists on doing his own ironing... hooray!

I got it! I enjoyed the 5 lines... made me laugh! He said... and mind you, he's 18 and his room was a disaster area... "Please don't screw with my stuff too much. Love you." His room is clean, painted and woodwork is redone! I have all of his stuf...

Still No Form Letter

Crud. It seems like everyone else has gotten theirs and ours just isn't going to come. Crud. Crud. Crud.

Box O' Boy

Received! Instead of crying, we had a good laugh here. It looks as though he walked into a room and someone said take all your clothes off right now!! Everything was inside out and in a ball : ) Curious thing... no socks. I'm OK without them. Now we're just waiting for the form letter... I'm happy he's there having an adventure!

Then... I Missed the Call.

I thought for sure he would call the cell phone... I asked him to call the cell phone, but that didn't happen. I assume in the rush of everything, he could only think of the land line. He also called collect when we had given him a phone card. I wonder if he accidently put the phone card in the box? LOL.
I find myself thinking about what he's doing right now. And then there's also the thought... I bet he loves the food! I don't cook very well... so, he's probably in heaven : )
Does anyone know i… Continue

Oh My... They Missed the Plane.

My son and six other recruits were up at MEPs, did their thing and left for the airport.... though, they missed the plane. I can't imagine that's a great way to make first impression.
They're set to leave first thing in the morning.
Good night everyone,

Today was the day...

I dropped my son off at the recruiters office. He'll head up to the airport this afternoon and then to Great Lakes tomorrow. I have a raging headache from crying, but trying to hold it in.
I know everyone here has either gone through this, or is getting ready to... I'm not unique in my feelings, but it's nice to write them down.

Hi Katleen, Smith is one of the names Johsua wrote as being one of his best friends in bootcamp. He was telling me about two different kids, one of the sang to him when he was having a bad night and the other tells him every night "Today was a good day, but tomorrow is going to be a great day!" It really seems like they are finding good friends and sticking together! Thats comforting!

I noticed that our sons are on the same ship and division. My son is Joshua, he has sent me letters that say his new friends last names. I wonder if they are friends, I know he has some good ones in there!! I got two letters yesterday and two phone calls from him today! Im feeling pretty lucky!! Hope the same for you.

It sounds like your son has a great sense of humor! That will probably help him through BC.

Hey Kathleen so happy you to hear our kids are together. I am sorry you missed his call. You will hear from him soon by letter. I have been non stop taking pictures for Kurtis. I have sent him pictures of everyone and his pet! What is Stephen going in for?

Advanced Electronics & Computer Field. Sorry, I should've added that.

I think I just added you as a friend?! Hope it worked. I can photoshop the pictures and get a zoom on your boy. And then I can figure how to send you that video!
