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 Dylan'smom (AWF/Pensacola) on September 17, 2012 at 7:47pm: Well Ladies I after a long 2 days of getting back home we finally made it late last night. Then this morning was laundry and grocery shopping. Haven't been on here much since PIR. I had an amazing time with my family. We went back to the hotel after taking our son to Gino's (per his request). I thought he would want to take a nap but he never stopped talking long enough to even get tired. Then went to see Lake Michigan (took more pics) and then later that evening took him to Chili's (per his request). So everything is back to normal (some what). Loving the fact that I can talk to my son almost anytime we want. He is super excited that he is in Pensacola. He is loving it. He is really excited and happy over his choice in Aircrew. I am so happy for him.

Oh and Lynda....love the t-shirt! My son was caught off guard when I changed into it and he loved it. Thanks to everyone that help me get through the past 8 weeks. Without you all I would have pulled my hair out along time ago.

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 17, 2012 at 7:45pm: Has anyone else started putting together a care package yet? I was planning on sending a bunch of Halloween decorations as we get closer but she told me today that they aren't allowed to put up anything thing like that. :( so now I have to get creative! Any ideas?

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 17, 2012 at 7:44pm: Ooh Sherry! I wish I knew how to tell you to change your settings. I will ask my hubby tonight if he knows. We didn't end up having to use the Taz bail out fund for me, so you can have it if you want! (keeping in mind that monopoly money isn't accepted by all...) lol, vent baby vent, that's what we're hear for!

Mikey's mom, Yeah, I'm getting my passport just in case!

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 17, 2012 at 7:24pm: How I felt Saturday...

Comment by Sherry (MA, San Antonio) on September 17, 2012 at 7:22pm: Sounds good to me MLDD.

Ok ladies I need to vent. I posted my pics today of PIR and then private family pics in two different albums. The family album is private to only friends. The problem is my ex sister in law shared my private photo to posted on her page! I was so mad I seen red! Anyone know how to set these so no one else can share your photos? She also tagged them with people who aren't even in the pics! If his no for good father wanted to see pics of him he should have been a more positive influence in his life! Soory had to go TazNavyan Momster for a sec!

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 17, 2012 at 7:22pm: Mike will be reporting to Japan in mid-October. Am assuming he won't be taking Christmas this year. I am encouraging him to get his friends to come see him in Japan. A great opportunity for both sides!

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 17, 2012 at 7:00pm: At this point in time, how many of "our" kids are headed out of the country? (Not dream sheets, but actual orders already in hand?) I ask because for those going out of the country after A School or when they leave Great Lakes, more than likely they will not get leave to come home at Christmas.I know that most of them will take leave right before heading overseas, but this will be a hard time for those families or for those families whose sailor is granted leave or can't afford to come home. SO, in true TazNavyan Momster form, I think once we know which of our kids won't be home for Christmas (which is our newest countdown) and we should send them care packages from the Momsters! What do you think?

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 17, 2012 at 6:53pm: Ericka (My daughter) was hoping to be able to room with her friend Brooke from BC. They really got a long and had the same goals in mind, so she's been thrown by that. She was a little snippy with me yesterday. I know that she was running on very little sleep and so maybe that's some of it as well.

Angie, my daughter's an AO, on NAS

Comment by Angie CTT/Pensacola on September 17, 2012 at 6:46pm: Luke's Mom, you're welcome. That's one thing I like about this group is the support...we're in it together!!!
