Welcome to PIR 09/14/2012! A place for friends and family to stay connected!

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 in your username you will need to change your username. If yours 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 to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on March 6, 2013 at 9:32am: Just checking in on the gang. Thank you all again for being there during BC. Don't know if I would have made it without you all!

Comment by cincymom1/VirginiaBeach on January 26, 2013 at 11:54am: Hey everyone! I still enjoy all the comments and still laugh at all our antics
(daubersmom) with our Sailors! I talk to mine almost everyday. He's stationed right now in Virginia Beach. He was home for the holidays and it was more than wonderful. I pray everyone has a blessed day, and I'll check in again in a few days,

Comment by daubersmom on January 24, 2013 at 8:41pm: Hi all, Hope all is well. Well my cover is blown now.. LOL I had asked if anyone was going to the HM Graduation today and if they were to please take pictures of my Sailor for me since I couldnt go. I got a text from my Sailor today, here is what he said: " daubersmom? Really??? and how many people did you ask to take my picture?"then I expalined that for security reasons we couldnt use their name on this site so his reply was " Daubersmom????" then I get a text that says " I couldnt believe it when someone asked me if you were Daubersmom and I told him no!!!" LMAO Just had to share that and I hope you all got as big of a chuckle as I did... Never underestimate the power of a Taznavian Mom...

Comment by Karen on January 24, 2013 at 5:10pm: Hello, everyone! Hope you all are doing well. Does anyone know about the process of getting contact lenses with Tricare Prime? I ran out this week and I'm not sure how to go about getting contacts. This is my first time having this insurance and I'm kinda lost with how to go about it. Thanks!

Comment by cynthia/Matt'smom@SanDiego/FN on January 14, 2013 at 2:46am: Hello group! how is everyone doing? Doing better now that I know that I can still have good contact with my Sailor while he is deployed in Bahrain. A change of plans for him are in the works and we won't know for a little while what they are. His original job is an engine man on a minesweeping ship, but due to his eyes getting worse and he is now fully color blind he has to be assigned another job, they want to gain him into another position with the crew he is with, but if not, I'm sure they will do what is best. He is remaining upbeat and doing well, he adjust quickly and has such a great attitude, so I know he will do good at whatever they find him to do. @ daubersmom, great to see your post, I'm still trying to get use to the emptynest as well, it is a journey, lol!! looking foward to reading posts from other's on here, wishing everyone well!!

Comment by daubersmom on January 13, 2013 at 9:34am: Hi all,

Sorry I havent been on here much, still trying to adjust to the empty nest syndrome.. I did have both of my kids home for Christmas, it was so nice, but then they left and I felt like I started over dealing with it.. All is good though, I am so proud of both of them..

I have a huge favor to ask, if anyone is going to the graduation ceremony in San Antonio, could you please get a picture of my Sailor getting his certificate? I am really bummed out it is during the week and I do not have enough vacation days left to go.

I hope all is doing well and I really do miss talking to you all. I will do better at coming in here to check on you all and your Sailors...

Comment by kimboskids2010/Nuke-TR on January 3, 2013 at 5:50pm: Hey - Ladies!! hope that everyone had and wonderful

Christmas and a great new years... we had a wonderful christmas this year...all 3 sons were here, even our sailor...Nuke A-school had a break!!! He left to go back this am. Am going to miss him again, but it's okay!!! He seems good and happy.

Hope all the young men and ladies stay safe as they all return back from holiday travels....

Comment by cynthia/Matt'smom@SanDiego/FN on January 2, 2013 at 8:20pm: Happy New Year to all of you! I too just had an awesome time with my Sailor for the holidays. As of right now, he is on his way to Bahrain for deployment on his ship. He will be on a minesweeper ship, not sure I am doing well with that lol, but I am praying and relying on our Lord to be with them all while they are doing what they are trained to do. @ GNL....how awesome for you all, I know you are enjoying it all, blessings! @ San Diego moms out there, that is where my Sailor will be when he is not deployed, looking forward to talking to you on here!

Keeping all of our Sailors on my daily prayer list, we have been through so much with them on this journey, and I am glad we did it here together, you are all a great blessing to me.

Comment by GNLmom(IC@GL for A school) on December 26, 2012 at 11:59pm: Hello EVERYONE!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! Mine begins tomorrow (Dec 27th). I pick up my sailor at the airport at 8am. I can't believe it's been 3 months since I have seen her. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa! I hope I can sleep tonight! I will be cherishing every moment of the next 10 days before I have to let go of her again.

Comment by NarMom on December 17, 2012 at 12:43pm: Hello, Always a Mom (Janis)

Merry Christmas to you too. My daughter is station in San Diego, she just came back from a short trip across the water, a quick turn around for 5 days. This was her first sail. She said she got sick the first day but now she have sea legs ..lol. she's a CS and her ship isnt ready yet, so she's dock\port for now. she has signed up for 4 years and that what they say she'll be until then unless she gets deployed. (not looking forward to that). Hopefully she'll get to come home for Christmas.

Happy Belated birthday to your son, I'm sure he enjoyed those cookies. You had to go through alot,,,great information to know in case I send my sailor some goodies. Glad you and your family get to spend Christmas with your sailor.

Thanks for sharing.
