"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 diannep on June 23, 2012 at 1:47pm: leftwayleft: Your SR will have the new password for this group. Do you still have the password for the 06/29 group? When my son was setback, I called the PAO and told them I needed the new password for his new division. They asked me for the old one I had before from the original group, then gave me the new one.

But ask your SR in the next call since he should know this too.

Comment by MSmom on June 23, 2012 at 1:46pm: Leftway. As for the parking pass. Call personal affairs. Tell them your recruits graduation date has changed. They will ask for his old graduation date and password. When you give them that information they will give you the new password. That is what I had to do.

Comment by diannep on June 23, 2012 at 1:45pm: The parking (gate) passes for this group should be available sometime on Monday. Here is the link:

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

Use the password in your form letter, typed in ALL CAPS. You can print as many as you like...you write the info in. I took "extras" just in case! Also, if taking the hotel shuttles, you do not need the gate pass, but you will if you want to drive on base when returning your sailor that night to RTC....and you can also use it at GL A School base (initially) if your sailor will be moving over there.

Comment by DanaVann (SHIP II Div 195) on June 23, 2012 at 1:39pm: Good afternoon. Leftwayleft. Have u gotten a call yet? Well if my SR by chance calls I will ask him who came with him from Div 195. Then I will message you. That's whenever they let him call. But I pray you get one soon.

Comment by twopercentsmom(sh09div206PIR7/6) on June 23, 2012 at 1:22pm: I'm struggling to find the site that has the parking pass for PIR. I've been on it but now cannot re-navigate my way there. Can someone please help?

From OverlyVirtualInternetStimulatedMom (sometimes the computer gives me a headache...LOL) Thanks

Comment by twopercentsmom(sh09div206PIR7/6) on June 23, 2012 at 1:14pm: Received my PIR ribbons yesterday from LalaRibbons (?), not sure if I said that right. Anyhow, they are awesome, perfect, beautiful...thank you so much. Our SR will be so surprised to see us wearing them and we will be very proud to be wearing them. Thanks again ladies for all the discussions guiding me in the right direction to make this purchase. Only 13 days to go....very cool...cannot wait!! ;-))

Comment by MSmom on June 23, 2012 at 12:50pm: Leftway. I am praying for you and your sr. Please let us know when you get the call.
Diannep. When my son failed his last academic test he was in his last week of training and had already done captains cup before they moved him to a new division. His old division did battle stations after captains cup. However they moved him to a division that graduated two weeks later. So he had to participate in whatever the new division was doing.

Comment by cbadillo on June 23, 2012 at 11:42am: leftwayleft, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your SR. I feel so blessed to have a received a letter every week but know that could change at any time. I don't know that I could handle what you are going through. I do agree with you; if it was something seriously bad they would have called you. No news is good news. Hang in there. Both you and you SR will get through this and what a joyous time PIR will be!

Comment by diannep on June 23, 2012 at 10:52am: Sent you a message, Teachermom.

MSMom: So strange that your son had to redo things in the new PIR group. My son left his group on 3-2 (training week 3/day 2). He joined his next PIR group/division that was at the same point in training...3-2. Strange that they are now making SRs redo things they have already done, but I have heard that from a few others.

Comment by diannep on June 23, 2012 at 10:49am: Sent you a message, leftwayleft, and posted on the 06/29 group too. Hope that explains it a little better.

If you don't hear from your SR this weekend, I would call the PAO again on Monday and make sure he really is in the 07/06 group. Seems odd that he didn't call you with that info. They are supposed to do that. Hang in there...come PIR day, you will have a great reason to celebrate! :-)

Good Morning all!
