Welcome to PIR 01/27/2012!

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.CLICK ME

Comment by sofas mom ship 03 div 047 on January 13, 2012 at 8:21pm: I got three letters today, jackpot. She stated that many of the "leaders" are causing problems because they are always chatting. She was also not impressed with the shot. She hates needles anyways, so this was just horrible for her. She did also say that one of the girls was busted for writing notes to one of the guys in the brother company. Frating is not allowed at all. She is worried about her run, she is 30 seconds shy so far. She sounded uplifted though but telling me that she can hear my voice in her head telling her that she can do this and nothing is going to get in the way. God is good. I always told her that. Take advantage of a challenge and overcome. I am looking forward to seeing all the moms from our team. This will be so very supportive for our SR's also.

Comment by CoMom92 (Ship 03 Div 047) on January 13, 2012 at 5:41pm: Glad you got a picture of your man. I saw it on RTC's FB page :D I know you really needed that. Only 2 more weeks Navywife11, we're almost there.

And who knew your good luck would come on Friday the 13th!

Hope all have a great day!

Comment by diannep on January 12, 2012 at 6:09pm: Mindy, we don't know his division. It has been reported that he was to PIR on 1/20.

Comment by MSmom on January 12, 2012 at 5:06pm: Is there a Facebook page for this group. If not I would like to start one.

Comment by sofas mom ship 03 div 047 on January 12, 2012 at 12:49pm: I can only imagine what the other recruits and his family is going through. Losing a shipmate is not easy...especially since they are pushed together to work as a team. Everyone is connected. I pray for all the SR and family.

Comment by sofas mom ship 03 div 047 on January 12, 2012 at 12:47pm: i have a link to the actual Navy Times article...it was just released at 10:32am

Comment by CoMom92 (Ship 03 Div 047) on January 12, 2012 at 11:35am: From Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs:

GREAT LAKES, Ill. (Jan. 11, 2012) — A Navy recruit died Jan. 11 while in boot camp training at Recruit Training Command (RTC) here.

The incident took place during a standard physical fitness assessment at RTC. Lovell Federal Health Care Center medical service personnel pronounced the recruit dead at approximately 9:57 a.m. CST. An investigatio...n by the Navy and Naval Criminal Investigative Service to determine the details of the incident is in progress.

“This seaman recruit was an outstanding recruit,” said Capt. Steven Bethke, commanding officer, RTC. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. His loss is felt by the entire RTC staff.”

The recruit enlisted in the U.S. Navy Nov. 16, 2011, and was scheduled to graduate from Navy boot camp this month. Following graduation, he would have a machinist’s mate in the Navy.

The recruit is survived by his parents.

We respectfully ask that everyone please refrain from posting the recruit’s name on our Facebook page.
