Welcome to PIR 09/28/2012!

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 Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it 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.

Comment by ellen0502 on September 24, 2012 at 1:39am: Here are a couple of restaurants to look at all three of these were very good.

Wildberrys in (Libertyville) http://www.wildberrycafe.com/libertyville.html

Good place to eat, very busy, but good food

Trattoria Pomigliano (Libertyville) http://www.trattoriapomigliano.com/

Excellent Italian restaurant! If you decide to go there to eat make a reservation, tell them Sarge recommended you. Give yourself plenty of time to eat and enjoy.

The Silo (Lake Bluff) http://www.silopizza.com/

They have more than pizza

Comment by Proudnavymom313 on September 24, 2012 at 12:29am: I see several SRs are headed to Pensacola, is anyone's SR going AIRCREW

Comment by CeliaB on September 23, 2012 at 11:19pm: What are some good places to take our Sailors while they're on liberty? What are some good restaurants to eat at?

Comment by CeliaB on September 23, 2012 at 11:01pm: Can't wait until tomorrow!!! Even more can't wait until Friday!! See you all there!

Comment by diannep on September 23, 2012 at 10:42pm: KTK: Be sure to join the Pensacola N4Moms groups on here and you can ask your questions there also. Those ladies would have more detailed answers.

Comment by diannep on September 23, 2012 at 10:42pm: No civilian clothes allowed yet. They have to phase up in Pensacola before they can wear "civies." Your sailor will find out about vehicles once there. Not sure if they can have those right away. They will go through INDOC (indoctrination) when arriving on the base and that is when they will get all of their info. You can mail them civilian clothes when they are ready for them.

They usually get leave at the conclusion of A School...once they phase up more, they can also have some weekend leave....meaning that they can travel within a 300 mile (I think!) radius during the weekend. Again, they will be advised of all of this during INDOC.

Comment by KTK - SHIP 12 DIV 307 on September 23, 2012 at 10:27pm: When they are done at PIR, i realize they go out in their uniforms but if they are stalled and waiting to go to Pensacola can we bring clothes for them or they stay with what they have? and when they get to Pensacola do they get to wear reg clothes? and do they get leave from there? Can they have their vehicles there?

sorry for all the questions, it just started popping in my head :)

Comment by diannep on September 23, 2012 at 10:15pm: Sarge's MeetandGreet is by far the most informative and we hear the best reviews of that one.
