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 Proudmama on October 5, 2012 at 9:35pm: Perfect! Thank you so much. This makes me feel better just knowing I can call someone if I haven't heard anything. You have been very helpful during this whole thing!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2012 at 9:33pm: Lisvin: You should get a call at some point...not sure when. You can always call the Public Affairs Office on Tues and ask the "status" of your sailor if you haven't gotten a call. But hopefully you will get a call before then!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2012 at 9:32pm: Mommaross: It is too late to give your extra spots away. Your SRs/sailors have already updated their guest lists.....and that is the only way to get others names on the sailor's list. :-( I'm surprised that they are allowing no extras. There have been a couple of other groups of 14 divisions and extras were allowed in. So not sure what brought about the change.....

gabby: Sorry, my BatleStations division info was wrong for this group. I was expecting 4 divisions to go on Wed night from this group, and 4 last night. But when only 2 went on Wed night, that threw 333/334 out of this week's BattleStations. So they will definitely be going early next week. No BattleStations are done on Fri or Sat nights because of Captains Cup in the morning.

Comment by Proudmama on October 5, 2012 at 9:30pm: If they by chance DID get watch during this time, would they allow them to call the following day, or do they just not get to call at all. If they don't get to call, how do we know if they are actually graduating or not?

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2012 at 9:27pm: For those who didn't get I'm a Sailor calls today, it could just mean that they had "watch" and didn't get to call. Did you check their Facebooks? Sometimes they get on there when they are waiting for the phones....they are all asleep by now though....lights out at 8 pm tonight.

Hoping that calls come tomorrow for those who missed them today. Remember Captains Cup is tomorrow for all divisions in this PIR group.

Congrats to the new sailors today from 329-332!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2012 at 9:25pm: Niffer: I have never seen RTC post what Angie posted today before. That there will be no extras allowed in. Not sure if they can wait in the Visitors Center in that case, but would doubt not. If possible, please still bring the extras to hang out with your sailor after PIR.

Comment by Ladyt41 on October 5, 2012 at 9:03pm: Lisvin,

I am wondering the same thing, I haven't heard anything either, I am sitting here pulling my hair out as I read all of the post where moms and dads and wives have gotten calls from their SR'S that they are sailors, and I am wondering what is goin on.

Comment by Proudmama on October 5, 2012 at 8:54pm: OK it seems like everyone from Ship 11 Div 332 have received phone calls. I have not received either a letter this week, or a phone call. I have contacted his girlfriend and she has not received anything either. What does this mean? Is there a chance that he will call tomorrow instead? Does this mean he is not graduating? How can I find out if he is graduating? I am starting to get very concerned. Should I try to contact his recruiter or something?

Comment by navywife0514 (ship 09 div 327) on October 5, 2012 at 7:53pm: Its almost here everyone! Stay Strong! :D All of you are always in my prayers as well as your Sailors!

XOXOXO

Comment by Niffer on October 5, 2012 at 7:45pm: Mommaross - only your Sailor can change the list. If you haven't talked to him yet or expect another call to ask him to add someone there might be time but I'm not sure when they have/had to give their final list. I wish we knew sooner. My son's girlfriend is coming with us and wanted to surprise him. At least she can still see him after! :)
