WELCOME TO PIR 11/02/2012

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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 17, 2012 at 11:51am: turtlesgabba- you are right, the form letter has the pass word on it for printing the gate [ass which allows you to drive onto base. I would ask your recruit what the password is just in case that form letter is lost and never shows up.

Comment by turtlesgabba on September 17, 2012 at 11:40am: @timsdad.. welcome, i think its awesome that you are involved in your sons journey!

just an FYI.. my husband joined.. www.navydads.com.. HE LOVES IT!

Comment by turtlesgabba on September 17, 2012 at 11:39am: Good Morning all =}

I am still feeling lost.. my son left 09/05, called 09/06 to say he landed safe.. received his box 09/11.. but still NO form letter... I called his recruiter for his address but im sure that letter is important with Grad info.. right??

Comment by Sonya on September 17, 2012 at 11:37am: Hello Tims dad, my son left for boot camp on Sept. 4 and I have not received the form letter either. I heard from someone else on this site that it may be up to 3 weeks before I get that letter and it would be highly unlikely I would get a call even though many form this site have received calls. I wanted to let you know you are not alone in waiting for information.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on September 17, 2012 at 10:28am: Happy Monday Ladies!

Comment by ellen0502 on September 17, 2012 at 12:28am: taracottagreen, The ship your SR is in does not necessarily hold just divisions within this TG. Right now it also has (from what I can actually count), four from 10/12, two from 10/5, two from 9/28, two from 9/14. The 9/14 group is leaving now and a new group will soon move in.

So if I am understanding your question (I tend to think in circles at night, not your fault), granted calls would be given to the division, or individuals within a division, not the ship.

Comment by Navymom55555 on September 16, 2012 at 9:46pm: Division

Comment by taracottagreen on September 16, 2012 at 9:43pm: Is it the division or ship they are grouped by when earning calls like if ship 3 or div353 does good then they get a call.

Comment by lisashd66 on September 16, 2012 at 9:42pm: Thanks you have been a lot of help.

Comment by diannep on September 16, 2012 at 9:28pm: lisashd: Just bring them with you to PIR. They need to have the same ID that you have (form letter gives details). I would suggest that those with "extras" arrive early....we left our hotel on the shuttle at 6:30 which got us there in plenty of time.
