Welcome to PIR 06/01/2012

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 Sailors/Recruits 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 diannep on June 9, 2012 at 9:29am: FTLW: They get in major trouble in bootcamp if they are caught not wearing the shower shoes. When my son was there, I believe he told me that a guy even got asmoed over that. Wow. All part of following orders! Can't imagine the guy wouldn't want to wear the shower shoes...but I guess it takes getting used to since most people don't wear shower shoes in their own homes--he probably forgot but I bet he never forgot again!

Comment by diannep on June 9, 2012 at 9:26am: ellen: Mine had never had it before either...Navy dr took a look at it and told him there was no more fungus (his is on top of his foot, not in between toes). He told him that he has to quit scratching it...because that is causing the irritation.

Well, DUH! I had already told him that. The guy can't stand to have something like that on his body...so....oh well.....his issue! Thanks, ellen!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 8, 2012 at 8:40pm: Boo on the Athletes foot!

My husband always gets fungal on his big toes after a deployment..No matter WHAT kind of boots he gets (he always buys a different pair rather than the issued ones, for the desert...AF on a base for six months 110+ temps).

I have had him use the Lotrimin spray on them too. Believe it or not he has used Lysol to soak his feet in....when it has been really bad. He got it from someone a long time ago. They told him to dilute it down...however the directions are for the lightest dilution is on the bottle...and soak for ten minutes once a day. He got it once from the police station showers...as well as military...and he and his friends have passed the Lysol remedy around when they have gotten it real bad. It jump starts getting over it. You need the powder and sprays too.

Athletes foot is going to be something they contend with. Tell them to wear "shower shoes" basically the cheap flip-flops in the showers too...it helps somewhat.

Ellen...too funny about the pics from your son! Can you believe that THAT is what you would get pics of?! LOL

Comment by ellen0502 on June 8, 2012 at 2:12am: I did find out the best remedy is clotrimazole (Lotrimin) it is the fastest acting cream, add foot powder for in between morning and night treatments and foot spray for the boots.

I'll add that my son has never had it (he is 26) and here he is at A School and sends me a text message and picture of his foot saying "what the hell is this?". I laughed so hard and said I am sure it's Athletes Foot, go get something at the NEX for it and I'll send you some more. He answered with "damn new roommate."

I told him to change his socks every time he took off his shoes too, then he complained about his roommate creating more laundry (he was kidding)...lol. He does like all of his roommates, so really not an issue.

I never thought my care packages would be for athletes foot.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 7, 2012 at 10:55pm: For anyone on this site who has a LinkedIn account. I saw on the news today that their member info was hacked and passwords and other info compromised. They said if you have a LinkedIn account you should change your password immediately. Just thought I would share because I know many of you are on that site.

Comment by Millfan5 on June 7, 2012 at 10:19pm: Ellen0502, whoever it is gave it to my son too! My son said their feet were rarely dry, all the sweat from their workouts. Lol! Good news is, they survived boot camp and will survive this too! :)

Comment by ANNEERRN4(PenAE) on June 7, 2012 at 9:38pm: LOL. Ellen. Perhaps my son? He showed me his feet on Sat. and said someone gave him some spray that helped him. He was planning on getting toothpaste and "foot spray" when he got to Pensacola. He is doing aviation electronics and was in div. 164(Jonathan)

Comment by ellen0502 on June 7, 2012 at 9:25pm: Ok ladies, which one of your Sailors, who stayed in GL for A School, is now my sons roommate and brought Athletes Foot with them. HAHAHAHA!!!!! See BC follows them to A School too!

Comment by ANNEERRN4(PenAE) on June 7, 2012 at 7:00pm: My son is in Pensacola doing aviation electronics. He said he would be there for 104 days. I know it is a big place and am not sure where he is right now. We haven't heard from him since seeing him on Sun. at Midway. It was an amazing weekend are enjoying the pictures and memories. Congratulations again to all the new sailors and to their families and good luck in the next phase.

Comment by jansu831 on June 7, 2012 at 5:26pm: Nrainygrl - ask Diannep to help you find appropriate groups to be in for your sailor's schools. She is amazing! :) There are lots of groups to join and you need to do that to keep the support going. Congratulations and good luck!
