WELCOME to PIR 05/24//2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.
~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Hold that prayer, smokeater! No BattleStations today, nor PFAs, but I'm sure there are some SRs who can use both prayers starting tomorrow! Love the verse you posted. AMEN!
If anyone in 201/202 didn't pass their final PFA, they should be calling home tomorrow to tell you. They have to pass that before they can do BattleStations. Just remember....if anyone gets that call, saying -- didn't pass, won't graduate...just know this is not necessarily true. See my post a few below this for explanation!
Prayers for all of the SRs to get through their final PFAs!

I am with you Anna and lteach...barely slept...a prayer for DIV 199
Dear God,
Please give DIV 199 the strength in this time of need. Please take away their worries and strengthen them so they can accomplish what is in front of them.
Amen.
Phone is charged and ready to be answered...

Oh my.... Hope that doesn't happen! She got it on her last practice run and she said she was going to make it, so I pray that she did.

MaMick. No, if she didn't pass, she will try again Monday. If she doesn't pass on Monday morning, you may get a call from her saying I won't graduate, don't come. Hopefully that won't happen, but it is not true that she for sure wouldn't graduate. Like I posted below, they get to try again on Wed morning and if they pass, they will do BattleStations and be at PIR. But if they don't pass, they won't be at PIR, but will stay in FIT until they do pass (testing M W F), then do BattleStations, and then head straight to A School, no PIR.

She is Div 201

Oh my gosh.... I haven't heard anything from my daughter. I am praying she already passed that run. Would we have heard by now if she didn't pass?
-
-
201/202 will get to try the PFA again on Monday morning if they didn't pass already. If they don't pass by then, they will go into FIT DIVISION and keep trying. They can try again on Wed morning and still be at PIR! Pray for wings on their feet!
azplantlady! Wow! Good for her to have run "extra" and still made a great time!

Just got a phone call from my daughter in Div 202! It turns out the the females in Divisions 201 and 202 got an almost perfect score in their dress uniform inspection, so they got an extra phone call. She sounded great is very excited about graduation, even though they have not gone through Battle Stations yet.
We were nervous about her passing her last running test because she is recovering from a twisted ankle and has shin splints. She said that almost everyone passed and that the chaplains were there cheering them on. While she was running as fast as she could, she said that the chaplains really motivated her to work her hardest. **What she didn't know was that the lap counter wasn't working right and when she finished, she had run 1 3/4 miles (more then the 1 1/2 miles required) and still finished under 15 minutes and 30 seconds.
Both 201 and 202 are enjoying a little time to relax today. She sounded so happy and can't wait for graduation - I can't either!
For those few who didn't pass the running test, she said that they will get another chance to pass before PIR.
