Let the countdown begin!!!:)

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 heather's mom ship 12 div 029 on January 5, 2012 at 8:37am: Congrats to all who PIR tomorrow. Most are on their way or soon to be headed for Chicago. Safe travels and if you haven't yet heard from your SR, you should be getting your calls today. Ours was the first group to go through BS21 last week and the call came at around 1:00 p.m. GL time. Hope to see many of you at the meet and greet tonight. This will be a chapter in our lives that we will remember forever.

Comment by jaydawn(HM Mom) on January 5, 2012 at 7:15am: Hello my Navy Family.

Happy Thursday to all of you. I know most of you will be travelling today so I wish you all a safe travel and hopefully we will all receive the "I am a Sailor" call at an appropriate time when we can be available to hear their voices live and direct. Hoping to meet you all either at meet n greet or at PIR. When I went to the Navy boot camp years ago, I had no idea what my loved ones went through until I had to endure the last few months in the same position. It was a tough few months but we made it and we all should be just a s proud as our sailors. Hooyah!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by PhoenixMomPS1204 on January 5, 2012 at 1:10am: I heard there was a group going tonight from 8pm to 8 am Haven't herad that anyone other than 907 got the Sailor call. Hopefully we'll hear in the morning!

Comment by Chris's Mom on January 5, 2012 at 12:47am: So excited to be flying out tomorrow for PIR on Friday! My son may be 26, and not lived at home for 7 years... but this is HUGE! :)))

Comment by Katie on January 4, 2012 at 7:55pm: It's kinda looking that way that they went alone.

Comment by chelsealoo on January 4, 2012 at 7:54pm: Who is attending to meet at greet? :) hope to see excited faces there!

Comment by diannep on January 4, 2012 at 7:47pm: Ok, Lala...then in larger groups, all bathrooms must be "posted" with family/friend members, with quick texts to one another when SAILOR is spotted! Remainder of group saves seats!

Congrats to 907! Now, wondering if they went through ...alone? Will wait to see if more calls come in...if not, then 4 divisions going through tonight!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 4, 2012 at 7:40pm: so true on the bathrooms, but there is more than one bathroom. My sailor and I were both in the bathroom at the same time it just wasn't the same one lol. I came back and sat down and my whole family had seen her walking by. Not me though I was in the bathroom looking for her lol.
