Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 4:16pm: momplus: On the swimsuit, we have been told that they must be in their Navy-issued swimsuit on PIR Day if they swim at the hotel. That is considered in uniform. Not sure if that has changed, but that is what it has been in the past.

Now, maybe that sailor meant for those at GL A School, since they move over there after PIR. Then they are under A School rules which could be different. Since Sarge had a sailor in the car on Tuesday, my guess is that he is at the A School there. He wouldn't have had PIR people in the car on Tuesday.

Comment by Carole on August 16, 2012 at 12:57pm: Yay! Just two more weeks! I can hardly wait!!!:)

Comment by momplus2 on August 16, 2012 at 12:53pm: Nursecat...I too am so excited I have already started to pack....we need to start a list of things to take our SR....so far I have BOXERS, they miss them terriably! Lint Brush, Tide Pen, Lap Top, sunscreen..this is everything I have picked up on. On Tuesday, I had to call Sarge and he had a sailor in the car..I was able to talk to him and he mentioned IPod with ear buds, Swim suit and towel and deoderant too. Bring a towel for your son to sit on too. Did we find a Mom that has a SR graduating tomorrow? Our sons will be performing tomorrow as well as next friday as well as their own graduation. This is so exciting! Let me know...Thanks Navy Hugs!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 15, 2012 at 6:53am: Running out of things to write about? How about a letter from their pet?

The letter to my Sailor from our cat was hilarious. Our cat is huge and needs to loose some weight and when our Sailor was home she was in charge of feeding him. She kept the bowl full all the time. I talked to the vet and had "special" food and was measuring out what he could have twice a day. The cat "Shadow" was not happy with his rations and kept going to my Sailors bedroom door begging for food. So the letter told her that since she left we have been starving him, that we don't understand his needs and she needs to get back here or at least talk some sense into us. He went on to say that he knew she was all grown up and needed to spread her wings like "Charlie" (our bird) but he couldn't understand why she left him behind with people who won’t take care of him and his needs. And, he knows how much she loves shoes but did she really need to go to camp in a foreign state just to get some boots? They do sell those at the mall right? lmao it was the funniest letter and she loved it hahaha
