Welcome to PIR 04/27/2012

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 Tiffany (NAS LEMOORE) on April 24, 2012 at 6:01am: Can Not Wait for my Call today!!!!!

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on April 24, 2012 at 5:53am: Thanks so much for the info..I can't wait..finishing packing now. Best wishes to your Sailor

Comment by ellen0502 on April 24, 2012 at 12:44am: I just got back from my sons PIR 4/20 what a blast you all are about to have. Seeing your Sailor walk through that door is something that will never be forgotten. A couple of things I wanted to pass along to you. I mentioned that if you want to go into Chicago take the train and buy the weekend pass it is the best deal and cab fare is very reasonable to get you to where you want to go. You can take a bus right outside of the train station to the Navy Pier super convenient.

We ate at Wild Berrys once and then were told by someone to go to Grandma V's in Mundelaine instead. Wild Berry is a great place to eat, but Grandma V's is a very laid back local place and we enjoyed it.

Sarge recommends Trattoria Pomigliano in Libertyville for Italian food and what a wonderful place that is. If you are planning on going there make a reservation and give yourself plenty of time. You cannot go wrong eating there! The food was excellent and they have half orders which is good because it is a lot of food. Tell them Sarge sent you.

If your Sailor is staying in GL for A School remember to keep your parking pass, your Sailor will come out to the visitors center and then you can take him back to check out. We were lucky and were able to drive him back to his quarters every night, some are not able to do that and I thinks that depends on the building. When you check them out you must check them back in. Allow yourselves plenty of time when taking them back, it was a steady stream of cars returning. If you are not able to drive them back on to base it is a loooooong walk back to their quarters.

You all will have a wonderful time. It is the best to be able to give them a hug and you won't stop smiling all weekend. One of the first things my son wanted to do when we got back to the hotel was to put on his boxers that we had taken him...lol he wanted out of those Navy issued tighty-whities quickly.

Bravo Zulu TG 24!!!

Safe travels to all of you!!

Comment by laur_amor(Ship 02 Div 924) on April 23, 2012 at 10:58pm: My phone will be glued to my hand.....and no matter who I am talking to at the time, they are going on hold until my conversation with my son is complete!!!!!

Comment by blm on April 23, 2012 at 10:57pm: chibi'smom-I am so sorry to hear that feeliongs are strained between you and your daughter-I think that happens in all relationships from time to time-never loose contact with your child and hopefully you will be able to have a better connection soon.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 23, 2012 at 10:44pm: Thanks Shinystuff, I know you will wear them proudly :-)

They usually get 30 min to an hour and can call more than one person :-)

Comment by ritajanr7@gmail.com on April 23, 2012 at 10:03pm: I know it's late
Tomorrow I should get my sailor call
I'm working and don't want to miss him
How long do they get to talk?
Won't lose my job but I really want to talk with him and not get in trouble at work.
Rita

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 23, 2012 at 9:24pm: I am so sorry Chibi's mom, I was hoping you would get a call too. I am sure she will be happy to see you at PIR :-)

Comment by shinystuff on April 23, 2012 at 9:21pm: Got Lala's ribbons two days ago in the mail! They are awesome. Can't wait to pin them on at PIR. Thanks Lala!
