Welcome to PIR 05/25/2012

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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 25, 2012 at 10:21am: Good Morning, Lala and ladies.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 25, 2012 at 8:16am: Good morning everyone, thanks for the very nice comments :-) I appreciate all of you.

For those who are writing everyday you may be running out of things to write about. It happens lol. When that happened to me I wrote a letter to our recruit from the family cat. It was hilarious. Our cat is huge and needs to loose some weight and when our Sailor was home she was the one who fed him. She kept the bowl full all the time. I talked to the vet and had "special" food and was measuring out what he could have twice a day. The cat "Shadow" was not happy with his rations and kept going to my Sailors bedroom door begging for food. Shadow is a rescue cat and his first owners were mean to him and kicked him. He is deaf and can't meow. So he can knock on doors with his paw and makes a lot of noise. So the letter told her that since she left we have been starving him to death and we don't understand his needs and she needs to get back here or at least talk some sense into us. He went on to say that he knew she was all grown up and needed to spread her wings like "Charlie" (our bird) but he couldn't understand why she left him behind with people who don't understand his needs. And, he knows how much she loves shoes but did she really need to go to camp just to get some boots? They do sell those at the mall right? lmao it was the funniest letter and she loved it hahaha. The point is write about anything you can think of. One mom even sent her grocery list lol.

Comment by diannep on April 25, 2012 at 8:08am: A-MJsMom: The division tshirts are designed by the SRs. Sometimes they order them for family. Here is the number to call if you would like to order or check to see if your SR placed an order:

Comment by Theresa's Mom *Ship7 Div161* on April 24, 2012 at 10:27pm: Yes I have order Ribbons from LALA they going to be so pretty.

Comment by A-MJ's Mom Ship7/Div162 (2012) on April 24, 2012 at 10:09pm: Hi Jenn: I haven't ordered T-shirts yet but am interested. Do they have the designs already or do our SR's need to send them in? Anyone get ribbons yet?

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 24, 2012 at 8:05pm: lschwepp, I think you are right. She left 4/2, and I had her address by that Thursday.. has anyone ordered division T-shirts?

Comment by lizinnj on April 24, 2012 at 7:43pm: Just ordered my ribbons from LaLa...so excited! 1 step closer to PIR!!!!!

Comment by Lisette-in-NJ on April 24, 2012 at 7:04pm: Hi Jenn, I asked my daughter too and she said on Sunday that it was 2-5. She told me that Tuesday would be 3-1. I think our girls went in on the tail end of forming the division so maybe they didn't have as many processing days.

Comment by Theresa's Mom *Ship7 Div161* on April 24, 2012 at 4:09pm: Its getting closer till we see our Sailors, 30more days Yahoo.

I'm sure we all can't wait to give them all great big HUGS!!!! We are so Proud of them ALL...✼◕ ‿ ◕✼
