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 Bryansmom on November 3, 2012 at 2:04pm: Kevsmomkim, Bryan is in Groton, CT with a bunch of Sailors that graduated 10-26-12. He's adjusting and finally got Internet yesterday so I can keep in touch. He still says he'll be home for Christmas, which I hope happens. He won't start BESS for 2 months. His friend that graduated 1month before Bryan is heading to Japan!

Comment by dohnermom on November 3, 2012 at 1:53pm: Everyone has disappeared on hear. I know our Sailors have all gone so many different directions, but would like to keep up still on how all is doing. Kevin D will b on his way to Norfolk in December to join the Uss Mitscher. Anyone else?

Comment by Totopogo (Son is a GM) on November 2, 2012 at 8:52pm: Thank you, Diannep!

Comment by diannep on October 31, 2012 at 9:56pm: Wow, Totopogo....I'm glad you were able to get back, but wow--what a journey. So glad that your home is ok, but so very sad about others in your area....just heartbreaking.

Comment by Totopogo (Son is a GM) on October 31, 2012 at 8:37pm: Finally made it home at 3:00 am this morning. On the laptop with the Modem on a generator- We live on the Jersey Shore in Middletown, NJ and although our home is unscathed, many in my town are homeless as I type this. It was a wonderful graduation, and to hug him was one of the best moments in my life. We got to spend time with him on Friday, and had a wonderful day with him on Saturday, but had to say goodbye to him on Sunday morning at 7:00 am; had to get to the airport and try to get an earlier flight back. No dice! No flight, and we missed the opportunity to have a whole day with our son. Ended up staying at a hotel for two days outside the airport. Then on Tuesday the airline said we MIGHT get a flight back home on November 2. (I can't blame them, the extent of this storms is truly catastrophic in scope). Well that was that and we rented a car yesterday morning and drove east. Took us 17 hours. Being with our son made the stress and expense insignificant; Wouldn't trade it for the world. So proud.

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2012 at 1:39pm: jay3jay: WONDERFUL! Japan is actually one of their favorite destinations....start saving those "coins" to go visit him! Congrats!

Comment by jay3jay on October 30, 2012 at 12:05pm: diannep - I thought that I would give you an update. Your last post to me reminded me that no news was good news. You were right. My boy graduated on time AND he had liberty the whole weekend so I got to spend 3 days with him. It was wonderfull. Now I just have to prepare myself because he was stationed in Japan and will be gone for 3 years. GULP!

Comment by Sharon on October 30, 2012 at 11:32am: Ditto butrfliesnstarts. I took a group pic of the guys leaving on the 12:45 flight to Groton. About 7 of the 12 in the shot.

Comment by butrfliesnstars on October 30, 2012 at 11:18am: PIR pics are up on Facebook. Also I have a group pic of the guys on the 2:05 flight going to pcola if anyone would like. Not all the guys are there but most of them are.

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2012 at 8:47am: SoccerMom: Pray that you all survived the storm ok in NY...video on GMA is heartbreaking of some areas and so sorry to hear that at least 17 have died so far. Thankful for the preparation that was in place for this storm or it could have been even worse....prayers for all affected by this storm.
