WELCOME TO PIR 10/12/2012

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".

Mommaross.....Glad your migraine went away..... :}

Comment by csmittyrun Ship 11 Div 335 on August 30, 2012 at 5:33pm: No mail here in new jersey from the SS Minnow ship 11 div 335

Comment by Honorary Mom 09/327 on August 30, 2012 at 5:29pm: Today is my SR's 18th birthday. Hoping for his sake that nobody finds out, but I'm thinking he got lots of cards, so...In the letter we received yesterday he said, "Please write constantly." Here I thought I was writing too much simple, random stuff. I guess it doesn't matter, as long as we say something, every day!

Woooohooooo! I got 2 letters - told work I had a migraine! Just couldn't wait any longer to see if I had mail lol!

1st letter he wrote after being awake 36 hours from MEPS and he had first watch! He said he was exhausted but would get used to it. Second letter he wrote this past Sunday said he was doing great, still has his sense of humour, says he's really tired but eating well. He said lots of people are getting sick - mainly coughs and colds so he's drinking OJ 3 times a day and eating lots of veggies and fruit and so far he's good.

He hasn't been directly shouted at - that's good. He says All you have to do is listen and pay attention and you'll do ok. He also said the Recruits that don't tuck their shirts in their pants are made to stand in the middle of the compartment and curtsey while shouting "I'm a pretty princess" lol

He's made some friends in his division already, he said everyone kinda comes together at the end of the day and it's easy to get along.

He's taking one day at a time and counting the days to PIR - So is his Momma !!!

He also wrote to his Boss and his wife. They just called me to tell me - they are so happy that he would write and tell them he misses them too. They are wonderful people who love him like family

One really happy momma today :)

Comment by juanlaong56Ship09Div328 on August 30, 2012 at 5:20pm: Has anyone received any mail from Ship 09, Division 328 yet? No mail here in TX:( So depressing! Hope I get one tomorrow.

Comment by Claudia (bremerton, washington) on August 30, 2012 at 5:14pm: My cousin graduates on this day. I wish I could go but my husband graduates 3 weeks later and I only have enough monies to go to one. But I'm so proud of him!
