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".

Comment by Kathyc on August 25, 2012 at 4:31pm: Take care aal of you in Florida! Anyone know sarge's web site? Going to the meet and greet?

Comment by Rachel on August 25, 2012 at 4:29pm: I was just wondering for those that got the airline tickets did you get refundable tickets? If so what site did you go to purchase. The only refundable i can find from Portland to O'Hare are $1200/ticket. I just worry about something happening & we have to change our flight.

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on August 25, 2012 at 3:59pm: I'm with you diannep - we're on the West Coast of Fla,. The other end of Aligator Alley from you :). Just finished putting all the hurricane shutters up. Stay dry.

Only9weeks I booked the Navy Lodge too. Flying into O'Hare, just need to organise hire car and we're all ready to go.

Comment by Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on August 25, 2012 at 1:21pm: I'm wondering if children are allowed at Sarge's? Our 7 year old daughter will be with us...

Comment by Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on August 25, 2012 at 1:09pm: Is anyone staying at the Navy Lodge? That is where I have made our reservations. Also, have y'all decided if you are going to one of the meet and greets? I'm pretty certain we are going to Sarge's.

Comment by Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on August 25, 2012 at 1:08pm: Praying Dianne!

Comment by ProudMona:) ship11 div331 on August 25, 2012 at 11:19am: Great info all - I am so glad that I have joined Navy for Moms as it helps with the details. I have also booked fights and hotel. Ramada had a good rate. I will still be looking at others. Last thing to do is the Rental Car. Any suggestions on what to do, eat or stay is very helpful. Everyone have a great weekend!

Comment by Arkansas Mom ship02 div948 on August 25, 2012 at 10:02am: Praying for you, diannep ! Hope it fizzles out !!

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2012 at 9:55am: We are under a Hurricane Watch down here, but a Hurricane Warning is just 20 miles south of us into the Keys. Please pray! It would be here tomorrow into Monday. We keep praying that it will fizzle and go west! Thanks, ladies. If I disappear from here, that means I have no power! :-)
