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 mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 5, 2012 at 8:39am: Oh Motorwife - I'm glad your tummy is better! Last night my hubby asked me what was wrong, and I started to cry. I told him I was just worried about our boy! He laughed and said that he was the last one of the 3 away from home he would worry about. He would be more worried about the one in D.C. with the crime rate or the one who is a police officer and goes out every night with a gun on duty. He said at least our SR was being watched over VERY CLOSELY and we knew he would be safe! Kind of put things in perspective, but I STILL miss him and wonder how he is doing! :)

Comment by mik0991 on May 5, 2012 at 12:02am: I got my fiance's form letter today! Ship 02, Div 932! PIR 6/22 =D

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 5, 2012 at 12:02am: Skyla Ive sent my husband a letter everyday somce the day he left, which was april 18th.. so dont feel like you are embarrassing him..

Comment by Skyla (SHIP 07 DIV 191) on May 4, 2012 at 11:44pm: Also, I just sent out his 11th letter this morning. Hopefully I am not overwhelming or embarrassing him. I just don't want him to feel like I have 'better things to do' than write every day, even if it's about nothing at all!

Comment by Skyla (SHIP 07 DIV 191) on May 4, 2012 at 11:43pm: I booked my flight with SW airlines as suggested because of the 2 free checked bags. I am nervous about flying anyways (my first time) so I would like to have it as simple as possible, if that exists! I'm waiting for the Tricare form and info to get my military ID. Not sure when that is.

Once we get the PIR form letter with their official address, does that mean they are officially able to receive and write mail? I read something before that they have to wait until someone is trained to start writing, but I have no idea when that is. Almost 2 weeks already...hope this gets better because I MISS HIM!!!!

Comment by Livia on May 4, 2012 at 11:09pm: I've just finished booking flight and hotel for graduation, and now I'm even MORE excited. I'm still eagerly awaiting a letter!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 4, 2012 at 10:39pm: When my son went to BC last year (He PIR'd May last year), he did not get to make the "I'm Here" call from RTC. He did call from the airport and said it was his last call...but I still waited. :-(

Then he called THREE times the second week! The first made me nervous...by the third one I was a wreck! I kept trying to go into "no news is good news" mode!

Then of course...a couple of weeks laer when his division was getting calls home...I wanted one too! LOL

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 4, 2012 at 10:34pm: Glad your tummy is better Motorwife!

Comment by Motorwife on May 4, 2012 at 10:31pm: mumof4, I was soo happy that I got to talk to him. I kept asking him questions in between him asking me for information. Something that I do that usually irritates him, lol, but I think in this case he was actually happy to hear my millions of questions. Of course, after I hung up I thought of a million more to ask. I was happy to hear that he was fine and doing o.k. Just hard for him getting use to someone screaming at him (hey, that's my job). Besides his blisters and chapped underarms he sounded great! My tummy ache finally went away, the one that I've had for 2 weeks since he's been gone, yippy!

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 4, 2012 at 10:13pm: Motorwife - I think my heart would have been in my throat if I received a call this soon.....that's awesome that you got to talk to him, though! I imagine with the cold, damp weather they've been having that they have been wet and miserable! I talked to a Navy dad, and he told me they pump the water out of Lake Michigan to use in their drills, etc., and it is COLD! I know, even in the middle of summer, the Lake Michigan is cold - cannot imagine how cold it is now!
