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 navywife0514 (ship 09 div 327) on October 8, 2012 at 6:38pm: Is anybody going to be landing at midway around 10:39 am? If so that would be so great and very appreciated if I could get a ride and give gas money. I am staying at red carpet inn. Please let me know if anyone can do that. So so appreciated.

Comment by L3NavyMom on October 8, 2012 at 6:30pm: I GOT A PHONE CALL TODAY!!!!! I'm so happy I could bust wide open! My son said that they are going to be doing lasts tests tomorrow and Wed night. So they allowed his division to call home today. I got to talk to him for about 25 minutes!!! Was not nearly long enough, but it was so wonderful! Can't wait till Friday!!!!

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2012 at 6:05pm: d.griffith: Don't worry, they should pass. If anyone doesn't, they will go again the night before PIR, pass and be at PIR (tired but there). Hoping you get a call anyway!

Comment by d.griffith on October 8, 2012 at 5:58pm: Hi Everyone. I received a call from Division 338. Clearance stuff again. My Sr said that I should not expect the "I'm a Sailor" call. He said they would be last to go thru and I will not know untill I am already there if they all passed. He said... he thought they would. Oh my!!!! I would hate to be in Chicago at the PIR and him not be graduating. He said that originally they were going to be able to make calls on Thursday; however, were told today that they would not.... He sounds good. Very positive... but he also said that they did not have great scores as a "whole" on their last PFA and that is why no calls on Thursday. He also said that they would not get to enjoy "Recruit Heaven"....

Either way... so happy that I heard from him today and am staying positive!!! Will see some of you Thursday night!!!!

Comment by Honorary Mom 09/327 on October 8, 2012 at 5:55pm: Any calls from 327 today? They said they were gonna call today...

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2012 at 5:47pm: SARGE will have dinner info for both of you! So be sure to go to his MeetandGreet on Thurs night.

Comment by Susan Ship 09 DIV 328 on October 8, 2012 at 5:44pm: my daughter wants to try beef wellington, any suggestions where to go in GL or Chicago?

Comment by melray(Ship 04 Div 822) on October 8, 2012 at 5:39pm: My son wants a big fat juicy steak and he wants to take a very long time to eat it .. Any suggestions on a good steak house in Great Lakes close to the base and Navy Lodge??
