Comment by momplus2 on August 28, 2012 at 6:23pm: Hello Everyone! I am hoping you enjoyed your graduation last friday. My son graduates this Friday..I am so excited! But, my son performed a solo piece as Head Snare in your graduation. I am wondering if anyone has any photos of the drum line? If so, please let me know it sure would be great to see him. Thank you Navy Hugs to all:)

Comment by kaseysmom on August 28, 2012 at 3:26pm: Hello everyone just wanted to let you know PIR was awesome it's amazing how they do all of it. All of the sailors looked great in their whites I am so blessed to have been there and be able to watch my daughter graduate. I was a little worried because they talk about how much they change but my solider was her same ole self. It was great spending time with her she will be in Great Lakes for 27 days then I hope she gets to come home for a few days before she goes ro her ship. She will be on the Esinhower in Virgina

Comment by mkcmom on August 26, 2012 at 9:14pm: just wanted to say how much we LOVED PIR on 8/24. Our sailor looked amazing! They ALL did! That was the experience of a lifetime and I am forunate enough to have gotten to see both my sons go through it! My sailor is now at SA at HM school and is LOVING navy life so far! Thankyou ALL for your love and support! this sight is awesome!

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2012 at 9:16am: Great, PamperedMom! Hoping that others making airport visits today find their sailors easily too. Don't forget to get those gate passes so you can wait with your sailors until the plane leaves!

Comment by PamperedMom on August 25, 2012 at 6:27am: Found my sailor right away in front of the USO!! Thanks!

Comment by ellen0502 on August 24, 2012 at 11:04pm: If you know what time he is getting to the airport, arrive a little earlier and head to the USO, it is before the security at O'Hare. That is where he should be before he heads to the gate. If you don't know the time he leaves for the airport go early and wait.

I understand you may be able to get a gate pass to go to the gate with him, but he has to be with you to do that.

Comment by PamperedMom on August 24, 2012 at 9:14pm: PIR was so great!!! I loved the time I got to spend with my sailor. Now I'm trying to figure out how to meet him at O'Hare at 4 am tomorrow morning before he flies out. Any ideas??

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 24, 2012 at 11:09am: HAPPY PIR DAY!!

Comment by PamperedMom on August 24, 2012 at 8:43am: Standing in line to get in... Slowly but surely the line is starting to move. PIR here we come.

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2012 at 8:28am: Good Morning. Have a wonderful wonderful day! Hope that many of you are in PIR Hall now! The rest of you...get moving! :-) Enjoy!
