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 momma2many on December 13, 2011 at 3:22pm: ok, we're thinking about taking the train. If we take amtrak to union station. about how much do you think the metra would cost? It's 30 miles from Union station, but what about just around town? or from hotel to rtc?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 13, 2011 at 12:00am: Thanks Diannep and thanks Autumn, The ribbons are to wear to PIR to show support for your Sailor. The are about the size of your hand and make it east to recognize other N4M members and they make a great keepsake. I sent you all the info in a message to your inbox. Thanks again ;-)

Comment by diannep on December 12, 2011 at 11:38pm: Autumn: Click on Lala's icon and go to her page. You will get info there. These ribbons are for PIR and they are wonderful.

Comment by diannep on December 12, 2011 at 11:36pm: Wow, AutumnSunset. I would have been a mess seeing that deer hurt and then taken like that. UGH! Just too much of a darn animal lover! So good that you all tried to do the right thing...I was talking to my sailor tonight as he was driving back to his base and he said a German Shepherd ran in front of his car and he almost hit him. Thank God he didn't...it would have destroyed him. He is an animal lover too...Hope you feel better!

mantha: Better than a cab. call SARGE to transport you from the airport to your hotel. If you arrive at the same time as another customer of his, you all can share the car. His rates are good (charges by the car, not person)...and he is full of info! Retired military. He holds one of the MeetNGreets. Here's his number:

847-212-0246

kat: What division is your husband in? I think the ladies from that division would like to know that calls may come on Friday!

Comment by AutumnSunset on December 12, 2011 at 11:35pm: Hi Lala, can you explain the ribbons please? Or direct me to where I may read more about them. Thank you. They are lovely.

Comment by AutumnSunset on December 12, 2011 at 11:28pm: Yeah kat.weir!!!!!!! Thanks for clarifying! Oh I hope to get letters and a call this week, that would be great! I miss my boy.

Navywife, I hope your little one is feeling much better today.

I seem to have some horrid congestion in my chest/throat. But still pressed my way and got out and about today. It was a very weird day. First, I had to take my friend to the vet. Her little dog had a skirmish with a racoon which may be rabid. If so, the dog, who was behind on her rabies vaccine would have to be quarantined for six months! Then, tonight, when I went to pick up my son, we saw an injured deer and called the police to come and put it out of its misery and some knucklehead came up behind us, jumped out his vehicle, threw the poor thing in the back of his car and sped off! That is a crime in our state. You have to wait for the police to release it! Anyways, at least maybe the poor thing isn't suffering anymore.

Well, sweet dreams all!
