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 RACW(Ship02/Div932/PIR6/22) on May 17, 2012 at 12:12pm: Mumof4: Sounds like our sons do have the same responsibility in PIR. No he did not say which week/day they are on. He did say that Sundays are nice because from 7:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. things have become a bit more relaxed and they spend time polishing boots, ironing, writing letters and they get to take a longer shower.

Comment by diannep on May 17, 2012 at 12:01pm: Yep, RACW: They sure do learn to appreciate "home" and "life" when at bootcamp as they are being transformed into sailors! :-)

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 17, 2012 at 11:59am: RACW - I think my son is with your son - he said he was a "greeter" of the high ranking individuals as they entered the drill hall. I wondered what he would be doing in a performance division also - no musical talent at all! :) Glad your son was communicative - did he say what week/day they are on?

Comment by RACW(Ship02/Div932/PIR6/22) on May 17, 2012 at 9:13am: I received two letters from my son yesterday. One was six pages long, the other was three pages. Seems to be in great spirits and very busy. He is a section leader and he leads a column of 20 in marching drills. He said that he and the other section leaders get their butts kicked with "intensive training" but he has always liked a good workout so I'm sure he's doing OK in that regard. The 932's started marching a week before any other divisions because of their involvement in the PIR ceremony. At the ceremony he will be one of eight who form a tunnel of sorts and salute the captain as he walks in. (I wondered what he'd be doing since he does not play an instrument). In addition, he is the Mail Petty Officer so he collects and delivers mail daily. He really likes this job a lot as getting mail is the high point of everyone's day and he finds it uplifting. He said "I know now how nice my life was on the outside...but I'm really starting to enjoy this new life as well...and I know that once I'm out of BC, it will only get better." He said there is a lot of yelling, but he is getting somewhat use to it and one of the people who yells also whistles which is nice to hear. He said that his unit has been told they can make phone calls this coming Friday (5-18) if no one messes up before then (I'm not sure if he was referring to the entire 932 division or just his section). So moms...keep those letters coming because it really does make a difference in their day...and keep your phones close on Friday. (Fingers crossed.)

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 17, 2012 at 8:50am: teresac - look in the mailbox today - maybe the letter will come. I haven't had any call either - not really expecting one until maybe next week at 1/2 way point! :)

Comment by diannep on May 17, 2012 at 8:08am: I just bumped up FTLW's discussion above about the different flags they can earn during bootcamp.

Just try to claim NO NEWS AS GOOD NEWS because that is the way of the Navy! If there is any change in their PIR date, etc...they will make a scripted and supervised call home.

Hoping for some mail or calls for you all today!

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 17, 2012 at 8:06am: Dont worry teresac i didnt get a call either... Good morning ladies... Hope yall enjoyed your calls... Hopefully for those of us who didnt get calls maybe we get one today and hopefully we get letters... Have a good day ladies... One day closer to PIR...

Comment by JMT1366 (Ship 3 - Div 188) on May 17, 2012 at 6:49am: Oh...and he also said they may get a chance to call again next week! :)

Comment by JMT1366 (Ship 3 - Div 188) on May 17, 2012 at 6:42am: Try not to worry...my son said everyone in the division seems to be doing well. A lot of them have a cold but he said it's inevitable when you live in such tight quarters. He also said their division just earned their first flag...each division has to earn flags to reach the goal for the hall of fame....not sure of all the details on that but sounds like they are working well together. :) They just finished the swim testing last week. Weapons testing this week. Today starts 3~1 which means the start of the third week of training.

It's so hard not hearing anything but he did say...no news is good news. A lot of them were trying to call yesterday afternoon...and some were getting their wisdom teeth out as well....so hopefully they will get another chance today or tomorrow. Keep your phone close! I hope some of this info has helped a little. Stay strong! 36 days and counting!! God bless them all!

Comment by Teresa(Ryan's mom) on May 17, 2012 at 12:36am: So bummed! I just got home from being out of town for a week and and there is no letter and I haven't received a phone call. Starting to get worried :(
