DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Did anyone's _SR tell.them about a video that would be posted on here for PIR 1/25/13?
-

My SR said there was a video but I think it may be the video that can be purchased of the PIR - I know the RTC records each PIR for the families to purchase. If anything is going to be posted it would most likely be on the RTC Facebook Page.

Hello ladies! Just found this discussion forum recently, and I have an SR (my boyfriend) who is also in division 913. Read all your comments and I'll give you some info about what my SR told me yesterday on our phone call. He said that on the graduation they performed in, he seen groups of 5 people. So, if you're having trouble to pick and choose people, bring them anyway. He said that he hasn't heard anyone get denied entrance and they will probably just charge admittance. His mom, his cousin, and I are going and we're going to bring his two friends, we are going to see if they allow it. Hope this piece of information is helpful to you all! :)

We definitely do not want a phone call today!!!!!!!!!! Just wish we had a general idea time wise, but know that is wishful thinking. I am really beating myself up for not going to PIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the picture that a very thoughtful Mom took of my grandson.I have not done much posting on this site or any site, but have done plenty of reading. Love being able to keep up with their progress. Plan on seeing a great deal of him when he gets to San Antonio!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for this site and the one that you started.
