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 LindenEmry on April 13, 2012 at 11:23am: TysonsMom, I have a son, my eldest, in the ship/div. He is the first in this genaration to join the armed forces, and the first sailor ever! I couldn't be more proud of him.

Comment by Riverlady ship 13 div 181 on April 13, 2012 at 11:08am: Queenjailyle..my younger son wants to do 2 years of community college and then join the air force.

Comment by TysMom, Ship 07, DIV 163 on April 13, 2012 at 10:56am: LindenEmry (Ship 7 Div 163), welcome to N4M's! It is an informative, wonderful, and overwhelming site. You better believe our sailors rock!! I see ours are in the same ship/div.... who do you have there, son or daughter?

Comment by TysMom, Ship 07, DIV 163 on April 13, 2012 at 10:52am: lynnvikings, thanks for the info. I am making my plans to head home on Saturday. Though I was unaware that Tyson would be leaving for CT so early, I knew there was very little chance of us getting to spend time with him after Friday evening. I will be traveling WA state to Great Lakes on the heels of a trip abroad. As much as I want to see my son graduate, I will be almost as happy to be finally headed home and getting caught up on my sleep. : )

Comment by LindenEmry on April 13, 2012 at 9:21am: Oh, to answer the initial question: My son arrived at BC 3/29. The last he told me, he'll be heading to sub school in Groton after the PIR.

Comment by Queenjailyle on April 13, 2012 at 9:17am: Welcome to all our Moms who just joined. I am so excited to see you.

Griffsma-We almost had the same situation. Thank God the schedule at home opened up. Congradulations to your youngest son. Does he have any idea what he wants to do after he graduates? One reccomendation is; have your son in GL order a dvd of PIR. I know it's not the same but you'll be able to share a part of it. Best of luck to both your boys!

Comment by LindenEmry on April 13, 2012 at 9:12am: Hello folks! Just found the site and it is WONDERFUL! Lots of great info and nice people. I can't wait to get my feet wet! Also, a shout out to the groupies of Ship 7 Div 163.. our sailors rock!

Comment by lynnvikings on April 13, 2012 at 7:56am: Fireteamleaderwife, Hope everything works out and you are back with us soon. I love the Snoopy!

Comment by lynnvikings on April 13, 2012 at 7:53am: tysonsmom, sorry for the typo... about gate. We were able to sit at the gate with him. Which was fun, we got to meet the other sailors who were also flying to groton.

Comment by lynnvikings on April 13, 2012 at 7:50am: TysonsMom,Ship 07 div 163. Yes , Groton CT is where your son will probably be going. The New London Submarine Base. My son is there now. He has been there since his PIR which was 7/22/2011. He should be done with school in May of June.I went to my sons PIR at Great Lakes. He had to fly out Saturday at about 6am. We met our son at the airport and got pass so we could sit at gate the gate with him. The buses head to the airport at about 2am. so there is some wait time at the gate . :) So,if you have a sailor going to Groton, plan on them leaving early the next day after PIR.
