Welcome to PIR 05/04/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the time
to 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.

FLTW my son also used his Navy Fed Credit Union debit card.  He already had them and had paid for them before we arrived. 

Comment by Carrie (ProudNavyMom) on May 8, 2012 at 6:01pm
FTLW - my son actually used his debit card to pay for his pictures when we picked them up from the base. If he already paid for the pics, I would send the check in his name.
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 8, 2012 at 5:53pm

 

QUESTION - For anyone who has sent their Recruit a check to pay for Photos....how exactly did you do it? Payable to them, so they could deposit it?

or

Blank with your signiture so they could make it out to the Photo Lab? If you did this...do you know if the Photo Lab accepted it? We are getting some conflicting info about payment such as:

They now CAN take the money out of the recruits paycheck (used to be able to do this but then it changed to a debit/visa card, check or cash {though they shouldn't have this much cash on hand at BC} ).

That the Photo Lab will not accept a check from anyone but the Recruit.

Thank you!

Just posted a bunch of pictures on facebook.  Feel free to tag and save all you want.  And share with anyone with graduates in the next two training groups.  Hope everyone had an awesome time with their Sailors!!!

1ProudMom- praying for you daughter.  Hope she heals fast and passed her PFT!

 

Comment by Wyobraskamom on May 8, 2012 at 7:55am

1ProudMom your daughter will be in my prayers.  I am glad they know the issue now so she doesn't do further injury to herself.  Please keep us updated on how she is doing! 

Comment by diannep on May 8, 2012 at 7:37am

1ProudMom:  So so sorry, but glad that they finally diagnosed her and she can rest her poor foot!  Stress fractures are very common in bootcamp and with some rest, she should recover and pass!  Prayers for the 4-6 weeks she has in RCU.  Write more often than ever...and get others to write to her, send funny stories, jokes, etc...to keep her spirits up.  Remind her that this ia a "bump in the road" and she will get there.  Prayers!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 8, 2012 at 1:51am

1Proudmom - I am so sorry that she ended up having an injury! I know you were saying that her foot hurt. While I know it isn't great that she has the stress fractures...yes, at least she now knows why! They are great in the RCU unit...I see that you joined the group...some great moms over there...ask, ask, ask questions that may pop into your head...they will help you!

I will keep your Daughter in continued prayers. Would love to hear how she is doing from time to time. Please come back and let your group know...also when you get that "I'm a Sailor" call!

FTLW

Comment by Carrie (ProudNavyMom) on May 7, 2012 at 10:03pm
1ProudMom - sorry to hear that. I will continue to put her in my prayers. Keep us updated. (((Hugs)))!
Comment by 1ProudMom on May 7, 2012 at 9:58pm

I hope everyone enjoyed time with their Sailors!  So happy for everyone!

I received a call tonight that my daughter has been moved into the RCU.  She has multiple fractures in her foot and will be on medical hold for 4-6 weeks before she'll be able to continue training to pass her run.  No wonder she couldn't pass.  She had mentioned last week that it was hurting quite a bit.  I'd appreciate your continued prayers.  THANKS!

Comment by Wyobraskamom on May 7, 2012 at 11:09am

For those of you on this group waiting for PIR, I started a discussion called "My experience at PIR".  Please read for some tips I learned last week :)
