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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 21, 2012 at 10:47am: so true, they don't make anything the way they used to. alismz I hope you can find another car that works well for your hubby. maybe look for another like the one you had. And, I hope your teen is feeling better. It is the same teen who wrecked the car?

Comment by diannep on February 21, 2012 at 10:25am: Good Morning, all!

alismz: My son had a fender bender with a sign pole when making a uturn. After seeing what it cost to fix it, I have decided that it doesn't take much to "total" a car these days. Makes me mad at how easily they are damaged in low-speed crashes. Ridiculous...I'm thinking I need to be in the car design business! Big solid bumpers all the way around the cars...how hard is THAT? Who cares what they look like??? HA! Because cars are not built to "stay together" if they hit something...ugh! No wonder our insurance rates are so high!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 21, 2012 at 9:34am: alismz- It was definitely a two-snicker kind of day lol. We got very lucky yesterday. My husband and I do estate cleaning on the side and a man called him yesterday morning and asked if he could pick up a washer and dryer and get rid of it for him. Since we sometime do scrap runs too (whatever it takes to pay the bills lol) he told the man he would pick it up right after work and told me he would be a little late getting home. He came to pick me up so we could go buy a new dryer and said he needed to stop by our storage unit for a minute. He opened the door and there sat a brand new (used 6 times) washer and dryer pair. They lady paid almost $1800.00 for the set and didn't like it. Oh HaPpY DaY lol. I love when good things like that happen :-) I hope you all have a fabulous day and get nice letter and calls this week :-)

omama- calls can come at most any time of day so just keep that phone close by. And your recruit may tell you that they can get their phones at the airport or they aren't allowed to take them with them to a-school. The RDC's often tell them that. But once they leave that base someone else in is charge of them and they can have their cell phones :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 21, 2012 at 3:56am: Yes...you can make the transfer of the Cell phone and any other items that he is allowed to take with him at the airport.

He will most likely write and let you know what he is allowed or he'll tell you when you get that "I'm a Sailor" call after BS21!

All new Sailors are given an in-depth briefing about the rules on liberty.

Comment by omama on February 21, 2012 at 2:54am: Also I have read some posts that say that you can give your SR their cell phones at the airport. Is this true? because I know I can not give it to him at graduation. He will be flying out to pensicola for "A" school.

Comment by omama on February 21, 2012 at 2:51am: those of you that have recieved phone calls, Is there a certain time of the day they seem to call?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 21, 2012 at 1:54am: alismz - I LIKE SNICKERS!

Comment by Faysnavysonship11div105 on February 21, 2012 at 12:33am: i am glad some are getting letters and phone calls. I still have not received either one yet. :( I am hoping that I will receive a letter tomorrow. Thanks for the questionnaires. I am going to read some of them and print them out and send them off tomorrow. It is a great idea. Chins up everyone, Go NAVY!!!!

Comment by alismz on February 20, 2012 at 10:04pm: dear lala- last week son totalled our "new" car (took 3 yrs to find a fit for my hubby with MS), last month our teen ended up in ER heartrate issues under 72 hr watch...so today, my something special for myself was TWO snicker bars!!! hah!
