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 Katheeh (07/129 PIR 04/27/2012) on April 13, 2012 at 11:45am: Despite your neck and toe (which I hope will feel better soon) I hope you enjoy the rest of your visit with your Sailor.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 13, 2012 at 11:23am: Good morning everyone, I finally have a minute to log on and see how everyone is doing. We went to Colonial Williamsburg yesterday and walked all day. I must have slept wrong because this morning I have a lot of pain in my neck and can't turn my head to the right. Then I stubbed my toe and I'm pretty sure it's broken so putting on my tennis shoes was not much fun. Happy Friday the 13th lol. I hope you all have a great day and wonderful weekend. Two more days with my Sailor and then I head back home to my hubby. Definitely bittersweet.

Comment by shirleyblack52 on April 13, 2012 at 8:21am: I have not heard anything from my son in 3 weeks

he is in div 924 ship 02 I guess he is not a writer.

Comment by hendersonc Ship11 DIV 134 4/27/1 on April 13, 2012 at 7:58am: @ Chibi's mom...I will also relay the message to my SR since 133 and 134 is a shared DIV. I agree with shinystuff just send her letters of encouragement so she can get through this phase and im sure she will appreciate just knowing your still there and rutting for her. I will also write her with some words of encouragement if you dont mind. I write my SR everyday so im sure once she get the letter she will check on ur SR ASAP because she did for someone else and let me know what was going on and it was a miss communication error. So dont worry im sure you will hear something soon.

Comment by shinystuff on April 13, 2012 at 6:48am: @chibi's mom: You should probably remove your SRs full name from your comment. You know, they are extremely preoccupied and busy just trying to get through boot camp. It's not summer camp! Have you written her? Perhaps some words of encouragement and motivation would be something that she'd love to see come from you in a letter from home. It's not about us and our birthdays and such right now, they are trying to find their way through this without having to worry about all that. I'll relay the message that you are concerned about her and you hope she's doing alright.

Comment by Chibi's mom ship11,div133 on April 13, 2012 at 6:23am: My daughter sent her things and form letter to my sister, because not being home all day isn't good enough, Her name is stephanie. The form letter was sent to my sister also. I don't speak to my sister about my kids, because she has always told me I raise them wrong. to the point where I had to call the police on her just to get her out of my house. yesterday was my birthday and no call, card or letter. with no form letter I don't even know if I am one the list. not one phone call. her name is stephanie holden. yes I would like that very much if you could

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 13, 2012 at 4:16am: My Dear Beloved PIR groups,

Please forgive me for not being on much lately. I am afraid I just have to be away for a while as I have pressing things here at home. I do read every day and try to answer where I can.

I am so thankful to be able to be a part of a team of ladies where I know we support each other while trying to support all of you who are going through this. I am thankful for the wonderful group creators who step up and take care of their PIR groups...and all of you moms/wives/Fiancés/GF/BF/Aunts/Uncles/Dads/Grandparents/Siblings and Friends who support each other on here. This site is dear to my heart.

Right now I will continue to read and post where I can, focus on helping to start the new PIR groups, answer any questions specifically directed at me and be available for any and all private messages. Those will be my priorities… I am hoping to be back in full swing soon.

FTLW

Comment by shinystuff on April 13, 2012 at 1:14am: @chibi's mom: My SR is in the same division. Would you like for me to ask him about your SR in my next letter? I will have a letter going out tomorrow. Let me know.

Comment by hendersonc Ship11 DIV 134 4/27/1 on April 12, 2012 at 6:32pm: seem like the letters are coming every 2-3 days now. I receive a letter Saturday, Monday and today and the one i received today she wrote Sunday. Im so ready to see my baby. I just need to huge her tight and tell her i love her so so much and im so proud.
