DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to PIR 06/22/2012

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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 4, 2012 at 3:54pm: Ugh, I made a mistake on the paycheck thing. I meant to say pay stub. You will get a paycheck (in other words you'll get paid ) but not a pay stub. That's where the LES comes in I'll fix it when I get to a real computer . Sorry

Comment by Skyla (SHIP 07 DIV 191) on May 4, 2012 at 3:14pm: I am trying to decide between renting a car for the 3 days I am in Chicago or using a cab to get around. Not sure which is better, price-wise. I like the idea of not having to worry about getting lost or stuck in traffic with a rental (since I will be alone trying to navigate) but I heard that a cab can cost over $50.00 just to get to the hotel from Midway. Any suggestions?

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 4, 2012 at 2:46pm: No its in GL too and its only 8 weeks

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 4, 2012 at 2:37pm: Julie - will you be able to go with him to A school?

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 4, 2012 at 1:46pm: Thank you. I had a dream about him last night I guess thats why I feel sad today. He is a very couragous person for doing what hes done woth me and our 5 year old. I fly out in 47 days so its going by but its going slowly. I miss him terribly. Hopefully I get a letter soon and my stuff for my military id. Thank you again mumof4

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 4, 2012 at 12:04pm: Hang on Julie - not too much longer - relatively speaking! :) Just think about what he is doing for his country and family......what an awesome thing! It takes a lot of courage for a husband/father to join the military - he must be a very special individual and love you very much! Almost down to 48 days.......

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 4, 2012 at 10:06am: I guess today is a sad day for me... I miss my husband so much and wish he was here :(

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 4, 2012 at 9:00am: Thanks diannep for the information! It's nice to know that he will be well taken care of.......I love our sailors too! :)

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 4, 2012 at 8:53am: Good morning ladies!!! Only 48 days till we see our SR!!!! Hope you ladies have a good day!!

Comment by diannep on May 4, 2012 at 8:03am: mumof4: They bus all out to the 2 airports early in the morning to wait for flights. I have heard of some not flying out until late afternoon, but they still are bussed early in the morning to wait. They wait in the USO. They take very good care of the sailors there. What we suggest is that all of you go back to your hotel after dropping off your sailors at RTC on PIR Day. Take a nap...get up and head to the airports then to meet up with your sailors. You will be able to get a gate pass to wait with your sailor until the plane leaves. This is up to the airlines, but we have never heard of a problem...unless your "entourage" has a huge number of people! They love their sailors in Chicago so really treat them well. They are used to seeing the sailors there, especially on Saturdays when so many fly out.

Good morning all!
