"Welcome to PIR 07/06/2012"

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 HossLuvinNavyMom(S09 D205) on June 26, 2012 at 1:04am: Hi SHIP 09 DIV 205!

Check into our discussion above. :)!

Comment by HossLuvinNavyMom(S09 D205) on June 26, 2012 at 12:48am: Howdy howdy all!

Looks like Div 205 did not write their letters on Sun, but on Tues 6/19, so I also got mine today too instead of last Thurs as usual! Happy now :)! Was good news, not sick anymore and Div doing well, all excited about the week to come. I think he realizes this is better than camp as a kid, because when it is all over, they don't all go their seperate ways, but are family and some will continue in their adventures together still. Pretty cool! For those still waiting for letters, hang in there.

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2012 at 8:21pm: Ladies, just want to correct some misinformation that is being passed around. BattleStations are NOT 36 hours long. They are approximately 12 hours long, an overnight drill. But it is true that the SRs/sailors will be up for about 38 hours by the time they get to "hit their racks" at 8 pm the day they finish ... this is 2 hours earlier than they normally have lights out. Please read the BattleStations discussion above in the Forum for more info.

I have a date for 205-208. Waiting on other dates for the other divisions from you all!

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2012 at 5:47pm: cbadillo: You write in the info on the gate passes.

For others who need to print out your gate passes, here is the link:

http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp

You can print as many as you like

DanaVann: Did you give them your old PIR date/division number and the password you had from that one? Usually that works. They have to make sure you are who you say you are. I would try again and hope to get a different person. This worked for me and for MSMom who had to do the same thing.

Comment by DanaVann (SHIP II Div 195) on June 25, 2012 at 3:47pm: I called PAO office today to get my SR new password. Since he got pushed back a week. They said they couldn't give it to me. My SR had to give it to me. I was reading some other post, that all I had to do was call and I could get it. Well that doesn't work.

Comment by cbadillo on June 25, 2012 at 3:13pm: Hi all, I just printed my gate pass!! Does anyone know if we are supposed to type in name and info before printing? I tried to but wasn't able to so I printed it blank. I hope this will be acceptable. cbadillo (09/205)

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2012 at 2:31pm: cbadillo: One positive side effect of the gas chamber is it seems to "heal" any respiratory illnesses! :-)

Comment by cbadillo on June 25, 2012 at 2:02pm: Hello Ladies, My mail does not get delivered until late afternoon but my sister got a letter this morning! We normally don't receive anything until Thurs or Fri. He went through the gas chamber on Thursday (div 205), and made it out ok! This worried me SO much. He says they are looking forward to BS. If anyone hears anything else, please share. Thanks cbadillo (09/205)

Comment by Mom2TJ on June 25, 2012 at 11:30am: diannep.. if it possible, could you message me with Div 210 BS date?... Im just so excited to be leaving next week for PIR.. Praying that all is well and nothing goes awry between now and then! :)
