Thanks for recommending Psalm 91. I just read it outloud, and it was so encouraging.
Comment by IslandGal on May 31, 2015 at 6:57pm
My friend recommended Psalm 91 as a comfort. Her Dad was in Navy and her Mom read it to the family when he was away. Just read it now with tears in my eyes. So special.

MamaValley: Since there is no Div 39 at Bootcamp right now, my guess is that your letter missing the 2 will eventually get to him since they will figure out what you meant, but it may take a while. 

A suggestion for the questions you have:  I would write a questionnaire sheet to him....i.e., 1.  What kind of food do they have?  2.  What time do you get up? etc.  Leave room for him to answer on that sheet and ask him to return it to you.  Especially this early on, they are very tired, very busy, so the best way to get the most info is to send some questions where they can just drop in the answers and send it back.  Many family members keep questions written down with them at all times to talk about during a random phone call.  But honestly, the best thing to do during that call is to just listen to your SR and let him/her talk!  The calls usually end quite abruptly when their RDCs yell to get off the phones....there are no times for long goodbyes! 

Good Morning All!

I have not received a letter yet. I have seen some post of sailors leaving on May 20th. That this is there PIR date. Is this correct? Or could it possibly be another date?

Comment by CatMom509 on May 31, 2015 at 3:03am

blackbelt1204,

I've got that verse on my list too!

Comment by MamaValley on May 30, 2015 at 11:52pm

Ellen0502 - you are so right.  We got a surprise call from him today where he gave us his address again.  He originally left off the 2.  I had just put a letter in the mail today for him too.  I wonder if he will ever get that one.  I am working on getting another one in the mail tomorrow.  It was great to hear his voice but he definitely sounded stressed out.  He was pretty emotional when he first heard our voices but settled down and told us how it was going.  I had so many questions but didn't get them all asked.  I guess I need to write them down so I don't forget them next time.  Can't wait to talk to him again!

Comment by diannep on May 30, 2015 at 9:09pm

MidwestMomNancy:  Just remember that the mail is held from them for about 2 weeks....until their Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained.  But when they get that first mail, your letters hopefully will be there for him!

blackbelt:  CatMom was a great inspiration to her own PIR group with her bible verses.  So glad she continued to stay on here to help and shares her scripture!

Comment by blackbelt1204 on May 30, 2015 at 3:27pm

catmom509 love the spiritual encouragement...this is what has helped me get through this first week. Here's another of my favorites...

THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION - WHOM SHALL I FEAR?  Psalms 27:1

Comment by MidwestMomNancy on May 30, 2015 at 2:47pm
I received the form letter today! So happy to see my son's handwriting, learn his PIR date, and finally be able to mail him letters (hubby is on his way to the post office right now). Can't wait for July 17!
