Lets not get me stated on the weather widget! LOL! I just know ya all think I imagined the hot air balloon! Dang I wish I took a screen shot! Here's a falling star shot: :)

Comment by aj2daway on April 17, 2012 at 11:10pm

Lala , taht totally makes sense and now that you mention it, I remember reading about that very thing- the staggering of SRs.

 Yep, I think you are right about the photo radar...or a lot of time on their hands?

I guess if I stopped staring at the widget, I too could find the photos quickly. Too much time on my hands, hah! Just my brain on numb. I've only seen the 2 different widgets-there's more..? gollee.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 17, 2012 at 11:03pm

There are lots of different kinds of weather widgets and the one on each group is the one that was picked by the person who added it.

And I'm with you, I don't know how they finds these pics so quickly. I think they have built in photo radar lol.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 17, 2012 at 11:00pm

aj2- the divisions are filled as the recruits arrive at bootcamp. the first two divisions to fill up will finish P-days and begin the actual training first. Then the next two will start the next day (it could be 4 per day depending on how many DIV's there are for that PIR) There is no way that everyone with the same PIR date can all be doing the same thing at the same time (like swimming, PT or even making phone calls). There is a specific amount of days of training that each DIV will complete. The first divisions formed will finish P-days first, they will finish tests first, hell week first and battle stations first. When they finish everything they will have a few extra days to practice for PIR than the other divisions have. By the end, a couple days before PIR the last divisions for your PIR will finish all the training and everyone will be caught up and ready for PIR. They really have it down to a science. I hope this makes sense :-)

Comment by aj2daway on April 17, 2012 at 10:41pm

just curious-

1.how is it that all the SRs in this TG are graduating on 05/04/2012 but they have different BC days?? someone mentioned earlier that it is now 5-1 for them but for my SR that takes place tomorrow (Wed).

2.I noticed that the weather widget scene alternates between country and city for each group. How is that selected? ( I'm gonna miss that weather widget...I like looking at the detail that pops in every now and then.)

3.and how are you ladies so quick to find the random photos? I  looked earlier today but just saw last Fri's PIR.

Comment by Carrie (ProudNavyMom) on April 17, 2012 at 9:32pm
Vivian - I know how you feel. I've been having a real problem sleeping. I think about my son constantly. Like your daughter, my son doesn't give me much information. I guess it is the not knowing that drives me crazy. I hope we both hear something soon :)
Comment by Adrienne(ship 02/div 925) on April 17, 2012 at 9:01pm

i can't tell if those pictures are 925 :( sad day, just think we should be getting some on tuesday (: think happy thoughts, happy thoughts. lol!

Comment by Wyobraskamom on April 17, 2012 at 5:04pm

Our SR told us next weekend would be their first PIR performance

Comment by Wyobraskamom on April 17, 2012 at 5:03pm

I think I saw 922 Crazy Blonde

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 17, 2012 at 4:56pm

Wish I could tell which 900 Division the triple threat flag is with. Can ANYONE here claim one of the SRs in this pic so we know if it's our 925?

http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10150728658649651&set=a.10150728658139651.424248.324592704650&type=1&theater

Sorta looks like flag says 924?
