Comment by CatMom509 on January 6, 2015 at 4:51am: Can you ladies please remember to advise us on the Navy Lodge situation after you have come back from PIR?? We need to find out if your Sailors are really not allowed to visit the Navy Lodge hotel rooms with their families if they are going to Great Lakes A school. Thanks!

Comment by CatMom509 on January 6, 2015 at 4:48am: The Metro Station is a train that goes to Chicago. Here's the link to the PIR Reference Information group that you can snoop round~~

Comment by CatMom509 on January 6, 2015 at 4:45am: Browneyedgirl14,

I think the Metro Station by RTC runs into Chicago, but I have no idea what it's cost is. Is your SR staying for Great Lakes A school? Visiting Chicago works best for the Sailors who have weekend Liberty. The time is really kind of tight for those flying out to A school, but it is doable if you really watch your time in getting your Sailor back to RTC on time!!

Check out the PIR Information group for suggestions.

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2015 at 10:57pm: Ok, seems that there were no BattleStations last night since no one postede, so tonight is the night to start! Looks like they will be doing them M, T and W nights then.

Comment by Browneyedgirl14 on January 5, 2015 at 6:03pm: I know it's kinda crazy to ask this since PIR is this week, but my boyfriends parents wanna know if anyone knows of the cheapest way to get to Chicago for Friday's PIR? Thanks in advance

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2015 at 3:47pm: If any I'm a Sailor calls are coming in today, they could start in the next 20 minutes are so. Please post if you hear from your sailor so we know who went last night, if any one did.

Comment by CatMom509 on January 5, 2015 at 3:46pm: Hello Friends!

    "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by

     prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,

     let your requests be known to God; and the

     peace of God, which surpasses all understanding

     will guard your hearts and minds through

     Christ Jesus."

                                                    Phlippians 4:6-7

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2015 at 11:38am: Good Morning!

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2015 at 12:36am: If I'm a Sailor calls are going to come in tomorrow from some divisions, they could start as early as 2 pm Central time. Please post on here if you get a call and what division so that we can see who (if any) may go through tonight. We are not sure if they will start them tonight or tomorrow night. Thanks!
