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".

My daughter is a sailor! Talked for over an hour...We can see her later in the week!

Comment by Lynda (MA-Little Creek, Va) on September 18, 2012 at 8:14pm: My five things that make me most happy

1. Seeing the pride that my sailors grandparents had in their eyes when they saw him.

2. The loving hug that my sailor and his younger sister had at PIR.

3. The moment of pride when my sailor said I got a promotion in boot camp

4. To see tears of joy and pride in my husband's eyes.

5. Knowing I will see him for Thanksgiving

Comment by WalkersMom (Groton, CT) on September 18, 2012 at 8:01pm: Happiness is...
1 More phone calls
2 discovering that he is only 14 hours away...we thought it was more.
3 that he is happy with how things are going
4 the support of friends and family
5 still having a kid at home...

Hi Cooper137...It was nice meeting you and your ?mom...funny how we kept running into each other.

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 18, 2012 at 7:13pm: Modesto, yes it's a savings program.

Comment by ModestoAngel (IT/ATF Pensacola) on September 18, 2012 at 7:02pm: Question... I get my daughters bank mail here and was going over her stuff as she asked me to so she could make sure she wasn't getting into anything she shouldn't be, IE any type of credit cuz she isn't ready for that yet.. anyhow my question is... a letter she received is an special easystart certificate confirmation notice... is this a savings account?? She thinks it is because she signed up for one.

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 18, 2012 at 6:37pm: Coop! Got our pictures too! They look so grown up, don't they??? I too have had to already put another order in for more.Praying that patience will come easier for you! For all of us! I'm having to bite my tongue. Want to tell her how to do things and such and know I can't! I did suggest that she buy some dryer sheets. They can be used for cleaning just about everything (mirrors, countertops, sinks, floor boards, etc) and they help repel dust and make everything smell better. She actually thanked me for that repeatedly as they have a room inspection tomorrow and she said they would probably have to work all night. I was like, "Ummm, didn't you just get there? Is it really that bad???" she reminded me that her room mates have been there for weeks and have accumulated a lot of stuff. oh boy.

Comment by cooper137 on September 18, 2012 at 6:24pm: Hi, I haven't gone anywhere either. Got home about 1:00am Monday morning & I am still trying to catch up on everything. Really enjoyed meeting everyone & spending time with my son. Got his pictures yesterday! Changed my name also...that was a great idea. Haven't heard too much from my son other than a few texts(which is wonderful compared to no communication). He seems to really like P'Cola. I am trying not to bug him too much. Like some of the other Moms on here earlier said...I think he is enjoying the independence. I will be patient & hope I hear more soon.

Praying for your brother Modesto.

Comment by Sherry (MA, San Antonio) on September 18, 2012 at 6:03pm: Great idea on the name change. Will change mine when I get on the laptop. That site does give me troubles too!

Modesto prayers to your brother and family.

Although I haven't talked to my son since Saturday we have been texting back and forth.
