Craig, I don't have a daughter there...just my son. I will be interested in the hotel/car rental and stuff that you have booked as I haven't booked mine yet for my son's graduation 2 July. Have a great time!!!
Well ladies, I am less than 24 hours away from being with my daughter and maybe some of yours in San Antonio tomorrow! Friday night we are taking my daughter and 4 of her friends to the mall in SA and we are all eating out. They all will have liberty. I would love to know if anyone of you have a daughter there that I will be seeing. I promise to love all of them as if they were my own for the short time that I am there.
The FB Pictures are great,I can see my son he is holding a flag from Div 165,What an awesome day!!!
Thanks, ladies (hi, jansu!). That is what I figured but wanted to make sure. Blessings to your sailors as they continue their Navy journey!
Hi Diannep! I'[m pretty sure my first form letter talked about the number of tickets each sailor would get but no actual tickets were issued - just the names on the list.
No tickets for us either. We got there at 7:15 and we had 2 extras and they joined us in the stand in about 20 minutes, so we got to sit altogether!
Ladies: Some on the other PIR groups are mentioning "tickets" for PIR. Now, we know that they have never had tickets for PIR before, just the names on the sailor's guest lists. But wanted to doublecheck to make sure this isn't a change and that they are issuing tickets at PIR. Can someone please let us know that? Want to give accurate info to the current PIR groups. Thanks!
Back to reality today after the most incredible weekend. It was so nice to meet some of you at the meet and greet and prior to PIR.The community of Great Lakes was fantastic as was all the staff at the Navy Lodge. Little jealous of some of you that are talking about recognizing your sailors right away, it took the family and I quite awhile to find HIM. It is truly amazing how much my son has changed. I went back to work today and wanted to BRAG all day, but I think(actually I KNOW) I am going to need you all for the next four years because not everyone understands what we understand.
Good morning everyone! Pictures on the Facebook Great Lakes Recruit Training Command page from our P.I.R.! I can't see my son but it's still wonderful to see all the pictures. I hope that everyone is well and their Sailors are settling into their new routines.
