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 Recruit Man - Ronny on April 18, 2012 at 4:07pm: If any of you need Phone Cards for your SR...go to Calls for Recruits.org and get them for FREE....they send FREE Pre-Paid Phone Cards for Recruits in Boot Camp!!!

Comment by jansu831 on April 18, 2012 at 9:43am: I'm just now catching up from yesterday. They don't have room to store much - they have space under their rack. Don't worry if you aren't sending stamps and phone cards. You can send those things but they can get them at the NEX there - they have a "gift card" that they use (the money is taken out of their check) for little incidentals. They have Navy envelopes and stationary to write on.

Mail call is huge. When my son got his first mail call he wrote and said that he had just finished reading "all 17 of the letters" he got at mail call. He was so excited because he got more than anyone. He mentioned that over and over. I wrote every single day and told him everything - even what color I got my nails painted that day. They just want to hear about the day to day normal stuff - all of it! LOL I also printed little jokes that people sent me on the internet and included those and printed pictures. Only send 2-3 pages at a time though. Fat envelopes get attention and NO attention is best!

Comment by jansu831 on April 18, 2012 at 9:33am: Good Morning!!!

Lala - your post from yesterday about those who have A-school in GL was exactly the way it was just this past January (2012). We had just a few minutes with our sailor right after PIR. Then, he went back to pack and move to the new base across the street. About 4 hours later he called and we went to pick him up at the new base. He stayed with us until that evening and then we picked him up early the next morning. We had him all day Saturday and took him back and picked him up again Sunday morning until we had to leave to catch our flight. I wished we had taken a later flight because he didn't have to be back as early as we dropped him.

Good morning everyone :-)

Comment by diannep on April 18, 2012 at 8:15am: Good Morning everyone!

Comment by Travis' mom on April 18, 2012 at 12:01am: Thanks Lala Ribbon queen for info on starting a discussion and thanks Shawns mom for starting a discussion group for ship 07 Div 170. Im so grateful for this site and the support from all the moms

Comment by candy (ship 07/div 163) on April 17, 2012 at 11:27pm: I talked to a friend of mine at work who was there not long ago for her son. She stayed at the Hampton Inn in Libvertyville. She said is was nice when she was there.

Comment by augdaug Ship 09 Div 166 on April 17, 2012 at 10:46pm: Hello everyone. Thank you to all who help keep this site so "infomed". It really is so helpful and also comforting. I was wondering if any of the veteran Mom's can comment on whether or not our kids are able to stock pile or have a safe place to keep calling cards and stamps if we start sending them each week?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 17, 2012 at 10:41pm: Travis' mom, if you look just above the box where you post comments you will see a list of discussions. Just click on add a discussion right above this comment wall. It will be easier for others to find your DIV discussion here on this group page instead of making a separate group.
