WELCOME TO PIR 10/26/2012!

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".

847-688-2405

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2012 at 5:28pm: PR Mami: Retired Military (with proper ID) have always been allowed in, not as part of the 4 guests...but you may want to call and check that out since they are changing policies apparently now....very sad....because...most of the new sailors do not have people there....that in itself is very sad but understandable...but obviously it makes for lots of space in the PIR Hall.

Here is the Public Affairs Office number, PR Mami, to call and doublecheck to see if that policy on retired military attending but not part of the 4 guests list has also changed.

As far as substitutions on the guest list, it would be too late for this group...unless, like was mentioned, the RDC allows the sailor to make the change...the lists probably were updated last week or the week before.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 5:17pm: No they don't Angie...believe me I do get that. BUT their FAQ clearly states what is allowed as far as extra guests...so that's what people go on. Yes, they can change it at any time and I wasn't looking for a reason or an explanation. Don't need one, their rules. I only asked for a public update that there is a change in policy.

But that is a good point about them still ebing able to see them after PIR.

Comment by sharonf on October 22, 2012 at 5:10pm: I have a Sailor!!

Comment by Tasia on October 22, 2012 at 5:09pm: Congratulations Byransmom

Comment by Bryansmom on October 22, 2012 at 5:00pm: It's official I have a Sailor!! Hooyah!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 22, 2012 at 4:55pm: I agree that is terrible. With only 7 divisions graduating why would they deny a family member from being there. I have spoken to so many families who end up only taking "Mom and Dad" to PIR because it is too hard to tell one set of grandparents they can't go but the others can or to have to decide which siblings can go. I just don't understand the reasoning behind this. It truly breaks my heart. I will say that I would still take the extras since an official announcement has not been made yet. And, even if they can't get into PIR they can spend the rest of the day with their new Sailor. Hopefully they will make an official statement very soon.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 4:35pm: Well, this is terrible...thank you to those of you who have called PAO to find out. I really wish that they would release a statement on their FB page though if this is going to be permanant.

Also, the FAQ's on their Official page need to be updated as it still has info on how extra's are handled.

As far as we know...Retired or Active military and Children 12 and under have never counted towards the four, so I can only guess that that still stands.

Comment by Amanda NavyMom/ArmyMom on October 22, 2012 at 4:08pm: I just spoke with public affairs. Absolutely no extras are allowed in. :(

Comment by butrfliesnstars on October 22, 2012 at 4:04pm: Hopefully since they have not made the annoucement publicly they will go ahead and let the extras in this time.
