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 Julie (ship 3 division 188) on June 26, 2012 at 3:40pm: Wow an amazing weekend... I miss my husband/sailor already. But I know in 65 days I will see him again. Thank god for Skype and texting. It was so nice to meet some of you wonderful ladies. Thank you for all the support that I myself and everyone has given to each other. It is amazing to me how a thing like basic training can bring us all together and not only are we here for support but we are also friends for a life time. Thank you again wonderful women...

Comment by mom2five on June 25, 2012 at 7:23pm: WOW what a great weekend. My mom met us there (she lives in a different state), and shared her birthday with PIR. We had a wonderful double celebration. Mom and I were able to go to the airport to spend a couple of hours with him, and get some food in him. We were able to meet a couple of the guys from his division, and that was a treat. Great guys, one and all.

mumof4, I think part of the problem-at least for me- was fatigue, lack of normal meals, and a super big high all weekend. Those kinds of highs are always followed by a sort of let down-again, at least for me. I got home late last night, and was feeling rather melancholy this morning also. After a brisk walk, some house cleaning, and normal food, I feel much better. I am so glad I took today off from work as well. I would have been a mess this morning ;-)

Comment by Cathy...Corpmen Roxy's Mom on June 25, 2012 at 4:59pm: Wow, what an amazing weekend! Congratulations to everyone and to all the 192 and 193 moms who's kids made Hall of Fame! I was afraid my daughter would act alot different, she was her same beautiful self except with more confidence. She made it to San Antonio for A school and has been told her class will not start for probably 3 weeks, too bad they don't let them come home for some of that time, at least they can use cell phones and computers now.

Comment by LarLar on June 25, 2012 at 4:32pm: p.s. hoping facebook posts our sailors PIR, my camera acted up and I am hoping to fill in the blanks.

Comment by LarLar on June 25, 2012 at 4:29pm: I too will miss my sailor. She is so ready for A-school and really motivated. Having family come to her PIR really boosted her spirits. She was most excited to find out if she had changed in any way. I said in every way! She stood taller, smiled broader and really held her head up. Whirl wind of a weekend, but so proud of how well all of our sailors did on Friday! Not sure where to post advice for other PIR families. So much to debrief and no idea where to start. In the end, I think you make the best of the situation on what little or best that you can find out ahead of time. Like the military way, you need to ask, they just don't tell you. Rest up and prepare for the next chapter in our sailors' books. At least we can stay in touch a lot easier now, right?!

Comment by RACW(Ship02/Div932/PIR6/22) on June 25, 2012 at 7:15am: teresac: I don't know if you saw my earlier posting since you just arrived home, but I got to meet your son at the airport. He was with a group of other 932 sailors headed to P-cola...along with my son. It was a blast sitting with them all as they waited to board. Funny stories!!! I took a couple of pictures. I'll email them to you, if you message me your email address.

Comment by Teresa(Ryan's mom) on June 25, 2012 at 12:27am: Mumof4 - I just got home about an hour ago and I feel the same way. I had to walk by his room and shut the door - he should be in there,right?

Comment by eversteamco on June 24, 2012 at 11:04pm: mumof4..... no doesn't go away... but I would say that you graduated BC with your sailor. You are now prepared to take everything as it comes as you learned that through the phone calls.... when they came you were oh so Happy.... now you'll have more access to your sailor... but hold that tight as the day will come when you have less contact and access..... YOU passed.... now it's time to move on.... A school... C school if warranted and then a possible deployment..... take each day and each little bit of communication and be glad for it ...no matter how much or how little and always be positive for your sailor....even when they are not

Comment by ellen0502 on June 23, 2012 at 7:19pm: mumof4, It will go away somewhat though not completely. It gets much better since they can call and text now when not active with school or on duty.

My son either sends me a text or calls almost everyday now. A few weeks ago I got a text message with a picture attached it was of his toes and a (warning incoming sailor speak) "WHAT HE HELL IS THIS"...lol. His new roommate, who just had PIR the Friday before, decided to share the athletes foot he acquired in BC.

Care packages unannounced and sent once and a while help with the incoming phone calls too. :) I send him Mio (like crystal lite sort of) once a month since the NEX is out of it all the time. It always brings a call or two, mom send me this kind that one sucks. etc.

So yes it does get better, but it won't go away.

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on June 23, 2012 at 6:12pm: Wow......it was awesome! The drum line was absolutely great......everything was terrific. I only wish Div. 932 could have marched in with the others, but it was a staff division working behind the scenes. I loved every minute of it.

I do have a question for all the veteran moms..... I just got home and have this horrible sense of loss. Will it every go away?
