Now I am upset. The Thanksgiving package I ordered for Chrissy didn't arrive on the base.
JulieR., I heard that most of the ships will be on stand down. So that those sailors not leaving for the whole two weeks will be moved into one place. Your daughter should check on that by Dec.1st. That is when thay can offical request thier leave...

Yeah they have breakfast @ 6 am, nothing to eat or drink after breakfast until PIR is over. I thought the woman fainted because she was dehydrated, but Chrissy said it was because she locked her knees.Besides the fainting, the ceremony ws wonderfu...
Hi Katynorth,
I will be going to my sister's house for thanksgiving. What are you doing?
I was motivated to loose weight for my 30th High School reunion earlier this year. I made a decision to not diet but to eat healthy. I had too much up and downs going on and off diets. I am still eating healthy and I go to the gym to workout. I li...
Yeah the body snatchers, that was one thing I did not learn about before PIR, this woman I was sitting next to her daughter fainted and they took her away. The mom was upset. Thank goodness my daughter didn't faint, she doesn't lock her knees. The...

PIR 8/21/09
I went to Chicago and had the most wonderful time. It was so amazing to see the PIR! I am a Army brat and have been to many military ceremonies but this one tops them all! The tremendous pride you feel when your child becomes part of our country's Navy is so overwhelming. I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest.
The whole weekend was a whirlwind of activity, wish I could of stayed longer. My grandson had a great time. He was pretty good during the ceremony, he feel asleep at the end. S… Continue

Sunday June 28
Chrissy called me twice this morning and I missed both calls. There was not a good signal where I was at, but I also had it turned off during church. Another Mom said she was going to keep her phone on during church, I think I will do that next Sunday! I keep listening to the messages over and over again! I miss her so much. She told me to"Chill out" and she was fine. She has a small surface fracture, but is not in any pain. She went to chapel this morning with a friend from a "brother division"… Continue

Mary, Proud Mom of Nick said… - Hi Vicki, wanted to welcome you to AECF group. I've been out of town for a couple of weeks so a tad late on my welcoming you. Will Chrissy be an FC or ET when she graduates from A school? Our son is an FC and is with his first ship in Hawaii now, if you have any questions please let me know.

bfoygirl said… - thanks so much for the information. It helps to have someone to talk to about it all. It's so hard keeping her twin together and her older sister without showing my own fear and pain. I feel confident in her abilities as she has been a commander in NJROTC for 6 years. She was on the competitive drill team and she has had all of the orders of the sentry drilled into her brain as well as chains of command and such. The physical aspects I worry about even though she's in very good shape being on the situp/pushup and running teams as well, but a mom has to worry about the separation. She's NEVER been away from me or her twin for more than an evening. Luckily all three of my girls moved into their own place in June so I've had some time to adjust, but NOT ready! Thanks for the words of encouragement and allowing me to vent! Enjoy Labor day!

Hi my friend, You have to keep thinking posstive and don't get down. If Chrissy calls she will heat it in your voice for sure. You can do it just say a prayer and go on. I know it is ruff now but it will get better. You can message me later when Alexis is in BC and remind me of that later. Just remember she is doing a proud thing and making a life for her and her son. Just sit down and write her letters and let her know how proud you are of her, maybe that will help you get over this blue spell. Hang in there my friend, I'm here if you just want to talk. She has God on here side so he is watching over her day and night. Take care and I will talk to you later. luv ya my friend Pam (Alexis step-mom)
