Teri P commented on lana riddle's group 'fit program'"They can get mail, and he will have to get the address. . .but often they don't stay long.

Teri P commented on lana riddle's group 'fit program'"Well Laura, only the slightest of chances, so don';t plan on PIR. Unfortunately, they don't get a "replacement PIR" when they pass their run. Keep in mind that Boot and PIR is only a very small part of his Navy career. It is…"
Teri P commented on lana riddle's group 'fit program'"They usually run for time 2 days a week, The RDCs will have him running more and will keep him motivated until he passes. He will be able to focus on just the running. Then you will get the great and happy "Mom, I passed!" call. Has he…"

Roll in and Ship Dates
Posted on August 4, 2009 at 10:42am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Well, Robert has a new Rating as a Corpsman, and a new ship date of November 5, 2009. That is sooner than his original 12/15/09, but not soon enough for him! He is checking with his recruiter today to see if he can get a "Roll In" for this month. I should know something today, hopefully. He will miss Thanksgiving and Christmas at home with the new ship date, and even his 18th birthday (October) if he gets the Roll-in. >> So many changes!
He Did IT!

Well, all issues have been resolved! Robert went to MEPS yesterday (2/26/09) and finished his processing. He is now OFFICIALLY at DEPper! He ships out Dec 15, 2009, so Christmas will be a few days early at our house this year. After BC, he goes to Pensacola, FL for A-School for Cryptology Tech. He wanted to do Master at Arms, but his vivion wouldn't qualify him. He is excited and happy, and so am I. It took some doing, but he got it. I am very proud, to say the least!
More (possible) progress and changes

Well, the "toe issue" is making progress. The podiatrist Robert saw said he didn't see the need for surgery and recommended against it. He said he had seen worse on guys IN the military! Robert was disappointed, but he spoke to his recruiter who asked him to get a letter from this doc stating the same. The podiatrist obliged and Robert passed the letter to his recruiter who will submit it to the military's Medical Review Board to see if he can get a wiaver. So things are looking up! (OK, it HAS… Continue
Progress

Well, there is a little progress in our house. My Navy (almost) DEP son, Robert, has a podiatry appt to see about his foot in early Jan, and my (almost) Army son, James, passed his GED week before last. Woot! He is so happy, he can now get on with life!
Disappointment
Posted on December 5, 2008 at 12:39pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
Well, Robert had a big disappointment yesterday. He heard from his recruiter and did not get the medical waiver on his toe (Has a bunion, see blog posts below.) He still has options. We are calling his doctor today to see about a medical correction for the toe in question. His recruiter said, with correction he should be able to get passed. He is being very brave ("well, it's not the end of the world."), but I feel for him.

- Teri P: I know the pain when your son is put back. Mine was held back in another program for a week. I was heartbroken....but I have to tell you...it was the best thing that could have happened to him! He ended up in a divison that was stricter (which he needed) with guys who were very focused. His 1st division had too many fooling around. He stayed on course for the rest of the time (was delayed after only being there for 3 weeks). He himself told me that it was the best thing to happen to him....he graduated a week ago. So, try not to be discouraged. Even if your son loved his division, he may find that the next division they put him in is even better than the first. Stay encouraged!

Darla in VA (Mitchell's Mom) said… - I never got far enough to pick out a name, although I had a list going. Was thinking about 11-12th century Irish. Never had time to make garb and hated to keep borrowing from the chatelaine. I'm in the Barony of Marinus in the Kingdom of Atlantia. This was about six years ago, I guess.

- Teri, I've seen you posting on the PIR 2/12 group where I'm also a member. I just sent you a friends request but forgot to add my message. Duh!
I noticed your hobbies and your email name and wondered if you were in SCA. Me and my kids participated a few years back but time constraints precluded our continuing at that time. I would love to get involved again.
