Welcome To PIR: 03/30/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by eyeronics on April 2, 2012 at 8:40pm: CaptainFatso- That is hilarious... hahaha.
Dawny64- Thank you :) I think so too

Comment by carolyn19 on April 2, 2012 at 5:48pm: Funny, while I was walking through the airport with my son Sat. we passed a pilot who said hello. After he passed my son panicked for a minute and asked me if that was an officer or a pilot. He was afraid it was someone he should have saluted and didn't. Also at the airport a lady came up to him and told him thank you for serving. I thought that was great! He said the sailors got to board the plane first and everyone clapped for them after they were on board:)

Comment by CaptainFatso on April 2, 2012 at 4:27pm: And the adventure continues...

My daughter was with a sizable group waiting for her flight to Pensacola. One the new sailors saw a man with gold on his sleeves and rendered a salute while wishing him a good morning.

It turns out that the recipient of the salute was not a military officer, but an airline pilot.

Comment by diannep on April 2, 2012 at 4:15pm: Leaving this group now. Congrats to the new sailors! Blessings in their futures!

Comment by cathie on April 2, 2012 at 6:30am: sjtina, I didnt even think to ask my son and he didnt say either way if he knew Joan Rivers. I just assumed he did lol. He said she was passing out money to the sailors like they were strippers. She is a nut! The boys seemed to have fun with the whole thing. I'm just so glad I can finally keep in touch with my son!!
