Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and Memorial Day. It was our last weekend with our daughter before she heads to CA. We had a great time honoring our fallen hero's and spending time with our family. We also had two extra Sailors with us for the weekend from VA Beach and it was awesome to have them here. We all went to Atlanta yesterday to see the Braves vs Red Sox game, whoooo hooo GO Red Sox!!! There were lots of sailors, soldiers, marines and other military members and veterans there. We salute them and also thank them for their service to our country :)

Hi!
Welcome to Navy for Moms!!
My Sailor Daughter's PIR was March 2013--can't believe how fast time has flown!. She is an IT3 (Information Systems Technician, Petty Officer Third Class) stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. I primarily provide scriptural encouragement for the PIR groups, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and a few of the other groups that I am a member of. I'll also help out with anything that I am familiar with--all kinds of tidbits I learned during my daughter's Boot Camp experience~~ This site really made the time go much faster. I'm so thankful that my Sailor daughter sent me the link for this awesome group of friends when she enlisted!! Count 9 Fridays and before you know it, you'll be seeing your baby again at PIR!! Here we go!!!

Hi all, If I am correct in my calculations, I think our son will graduate on the 18th. He left on May 22. He is an aircrewman/rescue swimmer, so I am not quite sure which division he will be in. I found a great site for aircrew with tons of info. First few days of him being gone were very hard, but he is a twin and I still have the other one close by. I have not received the box or letter yet.

Hi!!
Welcome to your PIR group!
My son graduated BC in April of 2012. He is an ET3, stayed in GL for A School, went to C School in San Diego, and is currently stationed in Japan. The ship he is attached to is a Whidbey Island-class landing ship, part of the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group (ARG).
A few other veteran moms will be joining to help answer questions, offer support, and give you lots of information.
There will also be lots of pages posted with information for you along the way. They will be posted as the subjects come up!
Remember there are no dumb questions, so ask away!
Fasten your seatbelts...the next few weeks will be a roller coaster ride, but at the end of the ride you are in for the best hug ever!!
