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 LovemyBug (11/134) on April 25, 2012 at 12:21pm: My SR is in 134 and I, too, am at work. I told my boss I am taking lunch when the call comes in. I am so nervous/excited, I can't think! LOL!

Comment by shinystuff on April 25, 2012 at 11:59am: @annamomma: My SR is in 133...I worker mids, so I won't be at work. But my phone is glued to my hand!

Comment by ambmomma on April 25, 2012 at 11:44am: So excited!! Can't wait for that "Sailor" call!! Working today but on high alert for that call. Calls start about 2!! Anyone else SR in same division working today? So anxious!!!

Comment by shinystuff on April 25, 2012 at 11:08am: So excited to recieve the call today! I can hardly wait! What time do the calls generally begin coming in?

Comment by ellen0502 on April 25, 2012 at 11:06am: Conny it us their "hat".

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 25, 2012 at 10:41am: Shirleyblack, Pensacola airport is around 18 miles from NAS, so it takes about a 1/2 hour to drive. Corry Station is probably only about 11 miles from the airport, so probably a tad bit shorter.

Comment by shirleyblack52 on April 25, 2012 at 8:03am: does anyone know how far the airport is from the navy base in pensacola

Comment by diannep on April 25, 2012 at 7:29am: Looking forward to the calls from 133/134 this afternoon....the last of the sailors in PIR 04/27! Hooyah! Congrats to all!

So true what ellen said....they are so nervous off-base re: making sure they do everything right. My son was so funny....told me there was no way he wanted to be "setback" in bootcamp! They are told the "rules" and told the consequences of violating them. They know that there are superiors out and about that day, in plain clothes, watching them. Just to give you a heads up....there is no consumption of alcohol allowed....I had a hard time convincing one mom in a former PIR group that, no, her sailor could not have a beer with his dad! But don't worry...the sailors know what they are allowed to do/not to do and are very respectful of that. It is quite a sight to see so many sailors out and about with such wonderful manners and "military bearing!"

Comment by Conny Ahoi on April 25, 2012 at 6:17am: ellen0502 Good Morning and congrats to your sailor, going PIR 4/27 ... what is with COVER OFF and indoor/outdoor ? and congrats to you !

Comment by ellen0502 on April 25, 2012 at 4:40am: Congratulations to all of you and your new Sailors!! It was so great to see my son (PIR 4/20) last weekend.

Heads up for you all, your Sailor will probably be very tired, at least my son was, but will not want to stop doing. He slept at every opportunity, in the car, on the train after sitting down in the hotel for five minutes!

My son was also a little paranoid at first when he was off base (a couple of his friends said the same thing), sure that someone would see him doing something wrong. :) I think that is probably quite normal they have been watched 24/7 for the last several weeks. Reassure them that all is well and nobody is going to make him drop and give him fifty at the train station as long as they aren't beating up old people or robbing a bank. Remind them cover off indoors and cover on outdoors, they will understand. :)
