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 Denarcy on April 15, 2012 at 9:07am: Chibi I agree with the others. Until you know more, have your SR focus on their task at hand, "A Training". First and Foremost for accomplishing becoming a "Sailor"! You aren't betraying your SR by withholding, you are protecting. We moms (as you already know) feel guilty about everything.
You and your family will be held up in prayer. Any of us who have walked in those shoes truly understand. I've walked that path. Thinking & Praying for ALL!

Comment by shinystuff on April 15, 2012 at 8:56am: @chibi's mom: so sorry to hear the news about your mom. just my opinion, but i think i'd wait for awhile until you know more.

Comment by cathy on April 15, 2012 at 8:33am: They let us get as many gate passes as we want.Does that mean we need one each time we go to the base?

Comment by proudmom3 on April 15, 2012 at 8:02am: Thanks Lala for all the info. I appreciate having you ladies here to help us!

Comment by Chibi's mom ship11,div133 on April 15, 2012 at 6:41am: looking forward to pir, but very nervous. I have never flown before, much less book a flight, car and room. and I want to ask advice. my mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer. she goes in for surgery on the 1st and we won't know what stage she is in. should I tell my daughter at graduation?. or wait until we know more about her condition. thank you

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 14, 2012 at 11:01pm: jrb- when my Sailors were there (PIR July 2010 and Oct 2010) some of the Sailor left on Sat and some on Sunday. Most will leave on Saturday now but there may be some who stay until Sunday. It really depends on what flights are available. The orders normally come in in numerical order so the higher division numbers have a better chance of staying in great lakes an extra day than the lower divisions do. My daughter had 13 DIV's and 170 Sailors all left for Pensacola on a chartered flight but there were still a lot of Sailors who didn't have flights until Sunday. If they are on a chartered flight you won't be able to meet them at the airport to hand off phones etc. I hope none of you have to deal with Chartered flights.

AWARDS: There can be Scholastic awards, Battle E (an efficiency award), Hall of Fame, and Captains Cup are some of the awards they can win and be recognized for at PIR. They are all based on how well the division has done as a whole. Hall of Fame is the hardest to get. The recruits can receive "hits" for doing something wrong or for not not doing something. They have to have below a certain number of hits to get Hall of fame and very few divisions achieve that. There may not even be a Hall of fame division for a specific PIR if one of the divisions didn't receive below a certain number of hits.

Comment by blm on April 14, 2012 at 10:40pm: I got two letters today, no call this week:(. They got more vacinations and had formal photos taken.

Comment by shinystuff on April 14, 2012 at 10:02pm: @ Conny Ahoi: Well, I'm in the same PIR group as you and according to the countdown clock, we will be able to print our passes tomorrow. 11 days before PIR.

Comment by Chibi's mom ship11,div133 on April 14, 2012 at 9:22pm: my daughter is going to Penscola also.

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on April 14, 2012 at 9:16pm: LaLa- My son will be going to A-School in Pensacola for AM structure..Where their any sailor leave on Sat. to go to Pensacola or did they stay longer in GL
