PICTURES from TG-24 PIR 04/27/2012
Please post your Pics from PIR here. You may post individual pics, or links to albums, from facebook, photobucket, or where-ever you host your albums.
This will be a fantastic way to share photos with this Training Group, family members that were unable to attend, and also with the Performance Divisions that performed at your PIR that are from the 2 Divisions that graduate after your PIR. (Believe me! They are praying for a glimpse of their SRs!!! You've all been there! Done that! LOL!
You just might have that GREAT shot of someone's Sailor!
Posting FaceBook Albums or Pics: You do not have to add everyone as friends to your facebook in order to share your facebook album. Facebook now has a way to share each of your albums separately and safely.
1) Go to facebook and click on the album you wish to share
2) Scroll down below the pics and you will see:
Want to share your album? You can give friends or relatives this link: (There will be a link below that)
3) Copy that link, by highlighting it and (right clicking copy) OR (hit CONTROL C on you keyboard)
4) Now just paste that link here in this Discussion! Members can then go directly to that album! :)
Posting INDIVIDUAL Pics:
1) Just click on reply below. Place your curser where you want the photo. It can be above, beside, or below text.
2) At the top left of the comment box (right beside the word link) is a icon- "Image" . Click that to add photos you have SAVED on your computer.
3) Click BROWSE and locate the photo, add it.
4) Choose if you want the photo left, right or center in your comment. It will be placed after your curser.
5) SIZE: It is best not to go larger than 700 wide on the pixels. (500 wide is a good size) You can just type the size you want in the box, or leave it the size it is. NOTE: Changing the size DOES NOT alter the photo you have in your computer. It only sizes it for this page.
6) You may also add photos by pasting links in the box instead of browsing files.
Thanks so much!

These are from 4/27 PIR. Maybe not the greatest shots of some since I took over 500 pictures and my camera was getting wore out. I have 3 albums worth. There are blurry ones so please forgive me I couldn't bear to not include them. As a mom I don't care if some are blurry as long as I could see what she was doing. :) Tag as you see fit.

You are very welcome! I understand what it is like just to be able to catch a glimpse. Just knowing where they are and what they are doing. P.S. If you know anyone driving... make sure to mention the toll roads in Chicago and to have coins and cash on hand....
