Welcome to PIR 01/06/12

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by diannep on December 2, 2011 at 1:21pm: PhoenixMom: They are threatened with being asmoed (setback) alot during training. So they are always conscious of being setback...and of course, they want OUT of there. That is why many don't go to medical when sick (and most get sick at some point, but they get through it). But they are watched carefully and if they need to get to medical, they will. My son was asmoed for a week when there and couldn't wait to get back to training. So glad you got a call.

Just remember that the future letters/phone calls will become more and more positive as they get accomplishments under their belts and see their sailor caps looming in the distance.

Good luck, allie! Study hard!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 2, 2011 at 11:53am: PhoenixMom, I remember when my son got his first real phone call home, he sounded really strong when he said hi, but his voice really started quivering when I said hi back. I think he just was so glad to hear my voice that he was almost in tears. He will become more confident as time goes on, and even though he will still miss everyone, his days will be so busy, that he will have a new normal. It is very normal for them to worry about getting setback. I'm sure he will do just fine. Great advice to keep those letters encouraging.

Comment by PhoenixMomPS1204 on December 2, 2011 at 11:35am: I received my call yesterday today, too! It was so great to hear his voice. He sounded really tired but he is homesick. Afraid something will happen to cause him to miss his PIR date. Encouragement is needed for these guys so we all need to stay strong. 35 days to PIR!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 2, 2011 at 11:03am: allie4, hope you get through the finals smoothly.

Bryanna, ((hugs))

I'm so glad to hear that some received phone calls yesterday.

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on December 2, 2011 at 10:55am: Good morning, everyone! Hope you all have a fabulous day! It is BEAUTIFUL here in so. Illinois! Thank you, lala! I will be studying all day!
My SR missed his division call time yesterday, so I'm hoping he gets one soon! With that, I need to get off of my blackberry so I can answer. :) stay strong today! It's already December!! <3

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 2, 2011 at 9:13am: Good morning everyone, Good Luck on your finals Allie, I am sure you will do well :-)

Phone calls and letters make for happy families :-D

Comment by Proudmom on December 1, 2011 at 9:52pm: got my phone call today!!!! and another letter. sound like we are all starting to get those which is great. So happy today WooHoo!!!

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on December 1, 2011 at 9:11pm: Congrats to everyone who got phone calls today! I got more letters, so I'll take those and be one happy future sailor's girlfriend. :)

Sorry I've been MIA today - it's coming up on finals week and school has been NUTS. It's definitely making time go by faster, though. So, that's a plus. Have a great evening, all! :)

Comment by Bryanna on December 1, 2011 at 8:41pm: I got a phone call from my boyfriend tonight and I am so happy!!! It feels so good to hear his voice. I had been sad all day because I've been going through a rough time medically and I've been missing my fourteen year old cousin who died this past summer. Hearing his voice made my day a thousand times better. I wish I could smile the biggest smile in the world but a swollen face just won't allow it. I am smiling so big on the inside.
