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 elizabeth/ mom ship 13 div 294 on September 12, 2012 at 5:57pm: Fyi I was told yesterday 4 didn't make it from my sons. Then no call. Very sad mom . Come to find out it was 4 that had been gone for some time not from bs. He is a sailor. Do maybe referring to the start of BC. Just want to throw that out there

Comment by ModestoAngel (IT/ATF Pensacola) on September 12, 2012 at 5:53pm: my daughter goes to Pensacola on Sunday.. goes to airport but her flight don't leave till 10:44. Does that mean she will get liberty on Sat too??

Comment by momoffive2012 on September 12, 2012 at 5:49pm: Yes modesto it was a male from 297 he just called again so I asked him...he didnt know his name though...

Comment by Al's Ma on September 12, 2012 at 5:43pm: I hope he chooses to invite someone.

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 5:40pm: Congrats to the sailors of 295-298!

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 5:37pm: Al'sMa: Some of the sailors will invite a sailor shipmate to join their family for the day. Those who have no family there will be released from the base for liberty on the "buddy system."

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 5:36pm: SRs who were asmoed at this point would be:

Those who didn't pass their final PFA as of this morning would be asmoed, persay. They would actually be in FIT DIVISION trying to pass now. They can stay there for several weeks if it takes that long. Once they pass the PFA, they do BattleStations with the next group and head straight for A School. No PIR.

Comment by Al's Ma on September 12, 2012 at 5:35pm: It makes me sad that some have no one attending. Does anyone do anything for them?

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 5:33pm: asmoed=setback in training....could be for many reasons...illness, injury, academic, not passing PFAs, discipline, etc.

You can just "show up" at the airport. The USO is in charge of the sailors at the airports. Their RDCs, etc are not there. I would hate for someone not to go to the airport and then find out that they could. The USO could deny too many people hanging out in their area, and the airlines could refuse to give you gate passes....but we don't hear of this happening. We know that 600 families of sailors will not be arriving at the airports since many will have no family/friends at PIR.

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 5:30pm: lindagr41: Doubtful that he is flying out at 1:30 a.m. but he is being bussed to the airport to wait for the flights around that time. The earliest flight usually leaves around 6:30 a.m. Haven't seen them leave earlier than that.

As far as changing the rules on families being meeting at the airports....ummmm....unless they are on a charter, that is not true either. But....if on a charter, that is correct...no airport visits. Which means no exchange of cells, computers, etc.

We N4Moms veterans were told a while back by someone on a PIR site that the rules had changed and families could not longer meet sailors at the airport (a sailor reported this to his mom). We thought it was a security thing. But it didn't happen....sometimes the sailors are told things that are "not true." Keep that in mind. Please continue to plan on your airport visits with your sailors at this point.

Lala will have more info on charter flights as he daughter was on one. Not sure if she knew in advance that the flight was a charter....
