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 12, 2012 at 5:24am: Julie- Since you know your hubbys W/D I am going to use it as an example to frame out how the counting of days works. :-)

If May 4th (A Friday) was 1-2 (Week 1 Day2) then it would go like this:

F 05/04 - W1 D2

Saturday and Sunday don't count in the counting of Training days (DOT...Day of Training)

M 05/07 - W1 D3

T 05/08 - W1 D4

We 05/09 - W1 D5

Th 05/09 - Week 2 D 1

F 05/10 - W2 D2

Thursdays will always be his Day 1 unless there is a Federal Holiday that pushes it forward...which Memorial Day will do....then Fridays will become his Day 1.Federal Holidays are treated like Sundays.

There are six actual weeks of Training Days...the other two weeks make up "P" days at the beginning...and Battlestations, prep for PIR and PIR day at the end.

All recruits within the same Division are on the same DOT...along with their Brother Division (Ex: 187 and 188 are Brother Divisons)

BUT...not all Divisions within a TG (Training Group) are on the same DOT. This works out for Battlestations at the end as the maximum number of Divisions that can go through in a night is four.

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 11, 2012 at 11:23pm: I do as well. On May 4th it was 1-2 so I am sure they going into the 3rd week of training. Hopefully Sunday we are getting phone calls, that would be the best Mother's day present ever!!! Hopefully we get more letters this week. My mail day is thursdays... I can't wait to see what else is going on.. Ladies have a good night and just remember that sunday is another week down and another day closer to PIR... We are almost there ladies... Just a few more weeks... I believe if we look at it and count the fridays till PIR it is only 5 more fridays!!!!!

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 11, 2012 at 10:49pm: Oh Julie - hope your hubby's knee is okay! I can understand his wanting to tough it out and not got to get checked! Thanks for sharing abou tthe training. I'll have to get on the day-by-day page and see what 2nd week of training entails.

Tonight I went to the store for ice cream - it's a 4-mile drive one way to the nearest store. I drove like a maniac just in case my SR called. He didn't, but I was terrified he would call, and I would miss it. This really just stinks..... I haven't felt this way since we were in the process of adopting our youngest. It's like constantly being on pins and needles, and I really hate that feeling! I know I'm preaching to the choir on that one! :)

Comment by Nick'sMom on May 11, 2012 at 10:06pm: For those of you on FB and want to connect that way for Ship 03 Div 188 ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/303109586434423/?bookmark_t=group

Comment by Tina ( Walt's mom) on May 11, 2012 at 9:36pm: Hey all I haven;t been on in a while-- mom had sx and I am the only family around her.. but I have checked the 100's of emails for the posts. What a great group of ladies I love to hear all the stories. I got mail and it was literally a one paragraph letter that it "sucks but is do able". LOL I think that sums it up. Happy for everyone else's contact w/ their loved ones and I also hope to get the call on Sunday. I work nights and have to work this weekend :( Middle son is going to babysit my phone and immediately wake me if my son calls--- Fingers crossed, hearing from him is way more important than sleep

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 11, 2012 at 8:06pm: My husband said he hurt his knee and doesnt want to get asmoed. He said hes made some friends. Also I write to him everyday and he said that he loved getting mail. I am the only person who has written to my husband, none of his family has. He also said that he has a job as the dcpo since his job is damage controlsman. By what he said they are into their 2 week of training and he is hoping they get a call soon. Just thought Id share a little bit with you ladies.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 11, 2012 at 7:54pm: Ohhh Julie...I actually "felt" your ache...my hubby was deployed last year and the memory is still "fresh" even though he is home now. Hugs to you!

Comment by diannep on May 11, 2012 at 7:47pm: Yep, the Ricky Crud. Very few escape this. But most get over it without getting severely ill. Even those who have been hospitalized with pneumonia many times still make their PIR. It is amazing...they do watch them carefully...they will give them LLD or SIQ if need be--and of course, if they are really bad, they will go to Medical--but like julie said....they try not to do that.

Pink eye is another "thing" that goes around big time in bootcamp. It can quickly be cured, but if a SR has it at BattleStations time, they cannot go through. But no problem...they are given the drops to clear it and then join a later division for BattleStations in their PIR group, once their eyes are cleared. My son's division had several that missed their BattleStations because of pink eye, but they did it later and were at PIR.

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 11, 2012 at 6:08pm: Thank you FTLW. I finally read my husbands letters. I cried like a baby. I miss him so much. I cant wait for the phone call.

Comment by diannep on May 11, 2012 at 5:19pm: It is ok for you all to post the jobs your SRs will be going into on this site. That is not prohibited. Up to you all!
