WELCOME TO PIR 11/09/2012!

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 diannep on September 25, 2012 at 8:42am: karis: I am so sorry about your injured SR! Hoping that it won't take 6-8 weeks before he can get back to training.

Comment by diannep on September 25, 2012 at 8:39am: annette: You have posted on the main PIR page....which means that this graduation group includes Div 363-372, 823, 952, so, yes---you are in the right group!

Welcome! Please feel free to ask any questions that you have!

Comment by steeler crew (Ship 12, Div 372) on September 25, 2012 at 8:06am: Hi all anyone on who has sr in ship 12 div 372

Comment by karis on September 25, 2012 at 6:12am: LaLa Ribbon Queen, please have navyknit get ahold of me as well. I got the call last night from my SR he has been injured. His PIR will be delayed by 6-8 weeks. Very disappointing I hadjust booked my room at Navy Lodge and was dealing ok with just 45 more days til PIR. Now we are in limbo and hopefully he doesn't reinjure himself and delay it more or wrse yet he can't stay in the Navy.

Comment by ellen0502 on September 25, 2012 at 3:51am: Markelle, Try using a search engine like Orbitz or Expedia and see what you can find. The expense may be coming from AAA, I kind of rooted around a bit and found full size cars for $260 and under. Just check around a little bit and see what you can find.

Also look directly at Alamo, Budget, Thrifty and Dollar to see what they have.

Comment by KwajMom on September 25, 2012 at 3:37am: Markelle - If you are flying into O'Hare, Thrifty has decent rates. I'm picking up a Dodge Avenger for 5 days for $262. Granted, everything depends of the model. There are cheaper if you don't need much room. I will have 4 and the day with my SR we will probably be a bit "cozy" in the car.

Comment by ellen0502 on September 25, 2012 at 2:50am: Markelle, Check into Avis and Budget for car rental, $380 seems a little on the high side. We rented directly through Avis and only paid $189 for five days.

Comment by KwajMom on September 25, 2012 at 2:42am: I have some 6550 miles of scenery between me and my SR. LOL

Comment by HappyRckyMntnMom (ship14 DIV368) on September 25, 2012 at 2:16am: Hi Everyone, This site is wonderfull. I am so glad that it's here. My SR is in ship 14 div 368. Southwest sounds like a good airline to use. We will be coming from Colorado and, knock on wood, hope its not going to be snowing. I cant wait to hear from my daughter and if all is going good with her. I have set up time off from work so far and started looking at hotels.

Comment by TUSmom on September 25, 2012 at 12:49am: We decided to fly Southwest to Milwaukee, I've booked our flight with peace of mind knowing we can change it with no penalties. I am renting a car from the SW website also, 5 days totaled $108, which was much cheaper than renting at O'Hare. The drives a little further but I'm coming from Tucskn, AZ so a change of scenery is always nice. Cant wait until PIR, I am so excited.
