Welcome to PIR 05/25/2012

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.

✼◕ ‿ ◕✼Yes HOORAY!!  I Got My Call Also She Sounded So Good And is Doing Well.Way To Go Ship07Div161 It Was Soo Good To Hear Her Voice.

@Jenn  She Does No Your Daughter She Said She Is A Very Nice Person And They Bunk Right Next To Each Other,  So Glad We Got Our Calls Today ✼◕ ‿ ◕✼

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 22, 2012 at 7:11pm

I got my call too.. My daughter said she is making a lot of great friends, I was just sooo happy to hear her voice for myself, and know she is ok..

Comment by LisaP/div 162 - class 1237B on April 22, 2012 at 7:07pm

Got our phone call today. She sounded great!!! She told us she is squad leader and has made friends with two other ladies that are also NUKES. Boy how nice it was to hear her voice, wish we had more time to talk got a whole 9 mins and 28 sec..lol She took some time to call her sister and brother, they miss her as much as her dad and I do. Would like to connect to the moms of the Nukers in her division. Another letter on the way she says not sending me as many as she is writting to everyone and just can't get them to everyone. I'm okay with that.

Comment by Lisette-in-NJ on April 22, 2012 at 6:39pm

I got a phone call, hooray!!!  It was so.... good... to hear her voice.  I had that phone glued to me all day hoping today would be the day.  I am so happy I heard from her.  Anyone else get a call too?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 22, 2012 at 1:34pm

cbc I am good lol, I anticipated what you were going to ask and I answered it :-)

The second pic was taken by me from the lower section where the 900 DIV sits. They are the division that sits the closest to the honor recruit families. I do have a very good SLR camera with a fantastic zoom lens. We left the Navy Lodge at 6:30am and we drove, were parked near the chapel, checked in, and in the PIR hall by 7:30 and that was with 13 divisions graduating. We sat about 4 rows down from the top of the lower section. Best seat we could get. So get there as early as you can. I recommend leaving the hotel no later than 6:30am. You will be too excited to sleep anyway :-)

Comment by cbc mom on April 22, 2012 at 10:38am

Lala -- You read my mind!!!  I was thinking (in my sleep) that I needed to ask that question about where to sit at PIR.  And voila!!!  You answered it!  Is the 2nd picture taked from the lower section?  Looks like you had a nice zoom camera too! What time do you recommend getting at GL in order to get "great" seats?
