I am sure someone will be nice enough to do that nursecat, especially since you gave such great directions on where he would be and what he will be doing. We are all such a wonderful family helping others is just what we do ;-) And you be sure to take pics of the performing division at your PIR and come back and share them with the moms and other family members who have PIR the two weeks after your PIR.
Good evening everyone! I have a request. My SRs PIR is 8/31 & he is in div 942. He will be performing at your SRs PIR. He is in drum line playing base drum. If anyone could get a pic of the drum line & post it after your PIR I would greatly appriciate it!! I am hoping for a glimpse of my SR! Thanks :)
Hi everyone, yes I am back lol. I will be in and out a lot. We were pretty busy all day and tomorrow we are having a going away party for our daughter. We will be taking her to UNC Wilmington next weekend. We are actually planning to have dinner in the Wrightsville Beach area On Saturday (8/18) with some other navy Moms (from this PIR group too ;-) that I have met on here and of course their husbands/families as well. So if anyone lives in that area that would like to join us please let me know.
My daughter was in the choir during bootcamp. It was AMAZING to hear her singing for all those people. I can't even explain the way it makes you feel :-) There are actually several different performing divisions that all rotate. One PIR date will have the band, choir and drill team and they are known as the triple Threat. The PIR performing division graduating the next week may be the Flag Corps and the week after that would be the Sailors who are the behind the scene workers and the side boys, and body snatchers. There are usually 3 performing divisions from 3 different PIR's all working together to put on the amazing show at PIR. So if your soon to be Sailor is in the band, choir, flag, drill, side boy etc you may be able to get a pic of them performing. They normally perform at the 2 PIR's before their on and perform at their own as well. You can join the two PIR groups before your own and ask them if they could please take a few pics and come back and post them. Let them know where your recruit will be, like choir, band, drill, state flags etc and that will make it easier for them. I was able to get a pic of my Sailor by doing that :-) And then you can do the same for the PIR performing divisions who have PIR the two weeks after yours. Let me know when you find out what your recruit will be doing during the performance. If you have any questions at all please let me know. I am happy to help. Here is a pic of my Sailor singing with the choir. She is the blonde to the right of the mic standing next to the guys..
Good Morning all!
Also, in case anyone will arrive early for PIR or will be site seeing on Sat. There are fireworks at the Navy Pier every Wednesday and Saturday night.
Oh, I hope she finds the parade. I bet she could google it as well and find out what is happening in down town Chicago today. Wouldn't it be awesome if she was able to get some pics? If she does please post them for others to see their soon to be Sailors as well. Very exciting :-)
Fireworks on the Weather Widget tonight...should come up when you first open this page...to see them again refresh the page...fun!
loveofanavymilso: Call Sarge about that. I bet he may know or could get info for you. He is full of info (has one of the MeetandGreets too). You can text him if you would rather not call, but either way, it's good.
