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".

Comment by GFTatter on October 21, 2012 at 11:22am: Or maybe they are keeping them until after the winner of the Cup is announced? At PIR I am going to hand my Sailor a photo album of all these pics from boot camp! I think that will be a nice surprize for her :-)

Comment by ProudMom on October 21, 2012 at 11:06am: pensgal-

:(

Hopefully they will put them up again.

Comment by ProudMom on October 21, 2012 at 10:44am: GFT- I don't see them..I see the ones of their PT Test. Am I missing something?

CJ- I am feeling for you. The waiting is so stressful. I hope you find out soon about 350.

Comment by butrfliesnstars on October 21, 2012 at 8:38am: Good morning Ladies!

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2012 at 8:08am: GFTatter: I agree with Lala. Sponsorship is not too common....Lala, I remember that Lady Hamilton's daughter's duty station group sponsored a division one time and drove for hours to "surprise" them at GL...this was a year or so ago.

Good Morning All!

Comment by Louisville Mom on October 21, 2012 at 12:39am: Thanks for the info Lala Ribbon Queen

Comment by GFTatter on October 21, 2012 at 12:21am: Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 1 in VA, on their Facebook page, at the top of the main page you will see a tiny pic of a gym ceiling. Click on it :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 21, 2012 at 12:21am: Louisville Mom, I took my Dad with me when my husband wasn't able to get off work to go. When we got to the check in point I told them that my husband P.M. Was unable to make it but I brought my Sailors grandfather H.J. instead. The girl marked out my husbands name and added my dads. It was no problem at all and they were super nice and accommodating I won't promise that everyone will have the same experience but that is how it was for us.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 21, 2012 at 12:17am: Divisions being sponsored doesn't happen a lot. Only a few each year. And I have never heard of more than one in a PIR group being sponsored but things change all the time so you never know.
