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 cathy on March 25, 2012 at 3:21pm: dianep - It is such a shame that your son was discouraged from going to Church. No one has a right to force their religious views on another.

Comment by diannep on March 25, 2012 at 2:02pm: atimeforart: I had a feeling that was the case. I think this was a scare tactic by this Chief...mainly because he told my son he didn't "believe in all of that ____." But it scared my son enough to not go...and he has gone to church all of his life.

Sigh....I know he would have enjoyed it!

Comment by veteranmom on March 25, 2012 at 9:21am: When I was in boot camp, most of the recruits when to one of the services because those that stayed behind had to clean! Also, we never got in trouble in church because there wasn't RDC's there, there are many different services and faiths, they can't attend them all. I don't recall anyone getting in trouble ever at the service, it's the one time and place where a recruit can feel "safe"

Comment by cathy on March 25, 2012 at 8:17am: diannep that is so sad and wrong. My son stepped away from his faith when my husband got cancer. I was hoping that my son would go back in the service. When my older son was in the Army they practically forced them to services. My how times have changed!

Comment by diannep on March 25, 2012 at 8:12am: cathy: Sadly, when my son was there, he said that the Chief told them not to go to church because that is "when they can get in trouble". WHAT? Too much freedom--he said---fraternizing temptation. He was not a believer and stated this to my son in a one-on-one. Sad...but happy for the SRs who do go! Know it is wonderful for them.

Comment by veteranmom on March 24, 2012 at 11:18pm: From my experience they don't encourage it. However if you are left behind you clean the barracks. I was not particularly religious when I joined but I attended the contemporary Christian service and really enjoyed it. It got me thru boot camp. I cried more on Sunday's in service than any other time. And no one was there to yell. It was all love.

Comment by cathy on March 24, 2012 at 11:08pm: It seems quite a few are going to Church - some that never go. I wonder if they encourage it.

Comment by B3kranch on March 24, 2012 at 5:57pm: Got letters today! Said he went to well needed church service!

Comment by Tiffany (NAS LEMOORE) on March 24, 2012 at 5:03pm: my daughters played in the Wounded Warrior Lacrosse tournament today..It was so sweet...Of course my girls told EVERYONE about their big brother..I think they are more proud of him then my husband and I are..LOL..
