WELCOME TO PIR 09/21/2012

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 4EVERB SHIP 12 DIV 306 on August 13, 2012 at 11:08pm: Whiney's mom....I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I am praying for her, you & the family. Trust in the Lord with All thy heart, Lean not on your own understand, in All thy ways acknowledge Him, & He will direct thy Path. Praying for her speedy recovery..

Comment by zachsmomct on August 13, 2012 at 10:44pm: Whiney's Mom...I'm so sorry she is not well. And I am so sorry you are going through all the emotions you are going through. I will be saying a prayer for Whitney AND YOU!!! {{{HUGS}}}

Comment by bhindthechair S.4 D.303 PIR 9/21 on August 13, 2012 at 10:38pm: Whitney's mom - I will pray for a quick recovery for your daughter!
KellieW that is a great idea to record it. I wonder how we could do that

Comment by KellieW ship 4 div 303 on August 13, 2012 at 10:23pm: I think that is a wonderful idea to forward the calls, I am sure that she'll just want to talk to someone. Maybe there is a way he could record the conversation for you so that you can listen to it over and over again. I understand knowing they only get 1 basically real conversation you don't want to miss it for the world.

Whitney's mom, so sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope you get answers quickly, eat up the conversation though. Thanks for the heads up.

Comment by bhindthechair S.4 D.303 PIR 9/21 on August 13, 2012 at 10:19pm: I am a wreck thinking about the possibility that my SR will call while I am at work! I am getting anxiety over it because I want to talk to her so badly and I want to be there for her if she is having a hard time. My BF suggested forwarding my cell to my father's cell during those hours so that she has the opportunity to speak to family (her Papa would be her next favored after me). He says this way she can hear words of encouragement just in case she needs them. What are your thoughts moms?

Comment by VashtiPurple on August 13, 2012 at 9:45pm: Prayers for a quick recovery for your daughter, you and your family! Keep us posted!

Comment by proud mom <3 ship 12 div 305 <3 on August 13, 2012 at 9:41pm: Prayers for a speedy recovery remember she's in great hand they will watch her

Comment by Hopetown, Ship 11 Div 301 on August 13, 2012 at 9:07pm: Whitney's Mom, she is in good hands...prayers are being said.

Comment by diannep on August 13, 2012 at 8:51pm: WhitneysMom: I'm so very sorry....poor thing....I know she wants nothing more than to have her mom there with her right now. Hoping that they diagnose her soon, get her on the proper medication, and let her out of that hospital! In the meantime, hoping for lots of calls! Prayers for all....

Comment by Johanna on August 13, 2012 at 8:31pm: Whitneys Mom...thinking of you and your daughter. She is in good hands and you need to take care of yourself. Let us know.
