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 melray(Ship 04 Div 822) on October 8, 2012 at 5:35pm: diannep wrong info..But I do know when if you private message me..

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2012 at 5:32pm: Ok, so, I was told that 822 was doing BattleStations last night, but no calls yet?

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on October 8, 2012 at 4:58pm: Gotta love that Taco Bell. LOL

Comment by Kellie (Ship 11 Div. 336) on October 8, 2012 at 4:42pm: Just had a call from my son. He sounds good, had to go because Taco Bell opened. He said he will call again Wednesday.

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on October 8, 2012 at 3:59pm: Just had a call (div 337). He sounded really great. They are all getting very excited for Fri. Anyone that I told about the night that the SR's for div 337/338 it is still that same night. My SR told me that they may not get to call with the "I'm a Sailor" call on the day after. He said that they will have to practice for PIR. (I hope they can still call--I want to hear those words from him) The RDC's were placing bets as to how many would pass out from being so tired. LOL

The SR's were going to be having their firefighting testing tomorrow (putting out an actually fire with all their gear on). He said they did the gas chamber (he loved it he had been waiting for that the whole time). He said they are all working well together.

Can hardly wait. I hope everyone travels safe and can't wait to see everything.

Comment by RobynS on October 8, 2012 at 1:51pm: frogkisses - Can you explain what the alternate route is? I won't be able to attend Sarge's event if it's explained there.

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2012 at 10:08am: Ladies, if planning on airport visits with your sailors, please doublecheck that all have their IDs before leaving the hotel so you can get gate passes at the airport. Very sad that one girlfriend forgot hers and wasn't able to wait with her sailor at the gate. :-(

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on October 8, 2012 at 9:37am: Thanks Jen - I'll make sure i'm early and have my ID lol

Comment by frogkisses on October 8, 2012 at 9:29am: We got to the gate about 6:50. I had planned to get there at 6:30 but about a block from the gate my 16 yo daughter announed that she had forgot her ID. So I turned the van around and headed back to the hotel. At the hotel we had an issue with he room key not working. All is well that ends well tho. We took the alternate route that Sarge told us about and it was a life saver. We didn't wait long in line at all. They were letting people in through the North entrance as well as the South visitors center entrance. That line looked longer so we walked to the north entrance. We sat up in the balcony, so there were very few people there when we got seated. The floor seats fill up first. The balcony filled up last.
All the best to you. It was amazing.

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on October 8, 2012 at 9:24am: Grandmother ship 9 - well said

Frogkisses - glad you had a great visit - what time did you get to the gate? How long were you in line? What time did you get to the bleachers? Saw your pics on FB they were great. I'm soooo excited for this Friday
