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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 24, 2012 at 11:02am: Sick, that is all for today. :( Bed is calling me now.

Comment by Amom@cali (Ship 03 DIV 370) on October 24, 2012 at 12:42am: diannep: we are praying for Brett and family here in our women's group and putting the word out to our military ministry in our church.

From my SR's call today, he will be flying out late sunday to A school at Pensacola, Florida. So just to let everyone knows. (hope it will not change). He was so happy he can spend sometime with us, as we are leaving late sunday night too.

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2012 at 9:36pm: skyler: Most who are flying out to A School do so the day after PIR...if moving over to GL A School, that is done right after PIR.

TV interview with injured sailor Brett's wife. Please continue to pray.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 23, 2012 at 8:08pm: atxmom, it will ultimately be her loss, because you obviously raised a great boy.

Comment by atxmom on October 23, 2012 at 7:46pm: diannep, Lala Ribbon Queen: Thanks for your words. I know he will be ok with this. His previous gf broke up with him when he announced he planned to join, before he even signed the initial papers. He said he knew it was coming. Still sad though. They're just too young to be commited now anyway.

Comment by skyler(ship14 DIV 368) on October 23, 2012 at 7:29pm: Hey everyone :) I was wondering if anyone knew what day their SR was leaving for A school yet? Last Saturday my SR still didn't know but now people are saying they know the time and date :)

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2012 at 6:33pm: atxmom: UGH! Why do these girls do this? What is wrong with waiting until after bootcamp to break up? UGH! I hope that he realizes she is young and this happens. He will be a sailor soon...there are many women who love a man in uniform! Hoping that this breakup will not prove distracting for him....and the he continues focused on his journey to become a sailor with no problem....

ProudStepMom. We took the shuttle back...like Lala said, they make trips back and forth until about noon or so after PIR is over (10:30). We picked up a shuttle (with our sailor) at about 11:30....no problems.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 23, 2012 at 6:10pm: It is so hard for them to get the "break up" while in boot camp. I guess it is good she told him on the phone and not in a letter. I know he is probably hurting right now but it will be a lot easier on him later that it happened now. He will be able to concentrate on boot camp and A-school. They are so young and the military life is not for everyone. I wish him and her the best of luck :-)

Comment by atxmom on October 23, 2012 at 4:50pm: Happy Mom here! Just got a call from my SR. Also the first call we've received since the 1 minute "I'm here" call.

He sounded good except he called his gf first and she told him the long distance thing wasn't going to work out. He had that figured out since he has only received one letter from her since he got to BC. Can't hold it against her since she is only 17 and still in high school.

He said the division is doing great and earned several flags last week in addition to the phone call. And he has made several good friends.
