Welcome to PIR 05/04/2012!

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 Wyobraskamom on May 1, 2012 at 7:52pm: Congrats to all you got your sailor calls today! My son called and sounded so excited and proud. I had to step out of a meeting that I was running to talk to him so I actually had to hang up before he did. Hated that! I also forgot to tell him Happy Birthday! Tomorrow is his birthday! Can't wait to see him though. Couldn't be prouder of my sailor!!

Comment by Bob's mom on May 1, 2012 at 6:43pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors!

I'm going to get on my high horse for a wee bit. The ceremony you will be attending is an official military ceremony. The Sailors will be in their finest dress, the speaker will be in his/her finest dress, and those in the audience should be dressed likewise. At my son's PIR I overheard a young Sailor ask his mom why she wore blue jeans and a t shirt while he was wearing the finest thing the Navy had to offer. Just saying'

Comment by Carrie (ProudNavyMom) on May 1, 2012 at 6:19pm: Congratulations to everyone and their new SAILORS. :) See you on Friday! Hooyah!

Comment by prayin'navymom Ship 009/Div.138 on May 1, 2012 at 6:01pm: Hi there - can somebody please give me the info (I know it has been posted before, but can't locate it) about how we can go be at the airport with him waiting for him to leave. My son leaves Saaturday morning after PIR, and we would like to see him off to the next part of his journey since we will still be in IL. Thanks!

Comment by prayin'navymom Ship 009/Div.138 on May 1, 2012 at 5:46pm: Just got off the phone with my SAILOR! Oh my gosh, he sounded great!

He said he was really tired.

They woke up at 6:00 a.m. on Monday and started BattleStations around 9:00 p.m, and got done around 4:15. He said everyone that could participate did pass.

He got 2 strikes on the firefighting part. He forgot to strap his helmet strap and didn't turn on the air..oops! He said "it appears when you are so tired, air is just not a necessity". LOL.

He flys out of IL to SC on Saturday at 7:00 a.m. so we won't get as much time as we wanted with him, but I prayed for the best (him leaving Sunday), but prepared for the worse (him leaving Saturday early) so all is good!

At this point just being able to see him for anytime at all will be a blessing! He said their group is very close and that they actually had some fun and messed around a bit, which by the way, it the reason nobody got phone calls.

Thanks everyone for your support! I cannot tell you how much it has helped me! Big hugs to all of you!

PIR here we come!

Comment by diannep on May 1, 2012 at 4:03pm: Congrats to 925! Now...hoping that 137/138 call soon! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on May 1, 2012 at 4:02pm: For PIR dress, we recommend "dressy casual." Remember...your sailors will be in their finest. Nice jeans are fine...well, actually, there will be a little bit of everything there. But it is important to be dressed comfortably....some walking involved that day and bleacher seating. You will see everything from "club style" dress to "beach style" dress.

Comment by prayin'navymom Ship 009/Div.138 on May 1, 2012 at 3:32pm: Dang! I guess a watched iphone doesn't ring any better than a watched pot boils! Ring already!

You know it's bad when you hold your phone up and start talking to it "ring, ring-please ring!" LOL....

Yay 925 and dcmont! - did your SAILOR sound real tired?
