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 Cherrish S. on September 16, 2012 at 10:56am: Diannep i sent you a friend request....finally figured out how, lol. I will be appreciative for any BS info you can give me.
Also, if anyone have flag info for div 311 i would be grateful for it....still no call/letter lately from my SR...im becoming majorly depressed from missing him. Trying to stay busy :( ....but this is hard. Cant wait to see him in 2 weeks :-)
Thank u to everyone for keeping us informed...this site is a godsend :-)

Comment by bnb&bmbmom (Ship 02/ Div 929) on September 16, 2012 at 10:05am: Thank you diannep and all the other veteran mom's who keep us so well informed!

Comment by diannep on September 16, 2012 at 8:10am: Good Morning all.

If any of you get a phone call from your SR this weekend, please ask for their BattleStations date and friend request/message it to me. Thanks. I still need most divisions' dates for this PIR group.

I agree with ellen...when they say have to go, let them go! They know the consequences of not complying with the order to hang up! Say your "I love yous" at the beginning of the call! :-)

Cherrish: Accepted your friend request

Comment by ellen0502 on September 16, 2012 at 1:50am: Phone calls are one of those don't expect one kinda things, but keep your phone close and always at hand you never know.

When you do get a call and they say they have to hang up, understand they HAVE TO hang up. It's not the time to start telling them about Uncle Bob's ingrown toenail, or give them a wait just one more thing. There may be two, twelve or thirty others standing behind him/her anticipating their phone call that could lose the privilege if your SR stays on the phone.It can be hard for them to say "shut up mom I love you, but I really have to hang up."

Comment by Maile_N5 on September 16, 2012 at 12:21am: @Ellen. Way to keep it real. Ha ha ha!

Comment by ellen0502 on September 15, 2012 at 11:09pm: Phone calls are a privilege not a given. Not every division will be able to call, not every SR will be able to call. Even if your SR writes and tells you they have earned a call home, look forward to receiving it, but do not expect it. Phone call privileges can be taken away as fast as they can be given.

My son earned three phone calls while in BC, and he was able to make one of them. That phone call was to have been an hour call and he got 2 1/2 minutes. His phone call was cut short because of previous callers abusing the privilege. The other two calls were never given to him because someone or something caused them not to happen

So, look forward to receiving a phone call, but do not expect one. If you get a call savor every second you have talking to them. If another division is granted calls it doesn't mean every division will get a call.

Comment by Stephanie (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 15, 2012 at 10:16pm: @Cherrish slade - Click on diannep's name and it will take you to her page. Then, on the left hand side there is a link there to send a friend request.

Comment by bnb&bmbmom (Ship 02/ Div 929) on September 15, 2012 at 9:56pm: Can one of you veteran moms give us an idea why some SR's and Divisions get to call so soon and so frequently, while others only get one call?

Comment by Cherrish S. on September 15, 2012 at 8:10pm: Diannep....not sure how to friend request...help :(

Comment by Stephanie (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 15, 2012 at 8:01pm: Does anyone have an idea when DIV 313 has their final PFA? Also BS21... PM me if you have any information please. Thank You...
