WELCOME to PIR 11/16/2012

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 Sailor_FutureWife on October 1, 2012 at 5:05pm: Ship 11 DIV 006....My Hubby made my day!!! I feel sooo much better

Comment by crdn on October 1, 2012 at 5:02pm: @thelostairman Thanks, I feel so much better. . .seeing her hand writing, knowing she's there and digging deep, full of pride. I'm hoping someone starts a Facebook for Ship-11 Div-006 soon! where can I look at the questionaire you were talking about?

Comment by thelostairman on October 1, 2012 at 4:16pm: I wondered that as well. I was in school last year for the holiday with the Air Force. We weren't allowed to go home for Thanksgiving, but we did get a two week break at Christmas/New Years. I know the Navy A school at my base had a week longer at Christmas than us. I would assume it would be the same on Naval bases and AF bases :)

Comment by GSDGirl on October 1, 2012 at 4:08pm: Ok here's a question, SR's PIR is the week before Thanksgiving, he'll be going to A-school in Pen. FL. Do you think they will let him come home for Thanksgiving, or just send him out to FL and no home for Thanksgiving?

From what his recruiter said, he will be able to come home this year for Christmas, which I would rather him come home for instead of Thanksgiving, if given a choice. (I know I want too much for both, lol.)

Just not sure how that works. I do know though if it would count against his time off, he won't come home for Thanksgiving so he has the time for sure for Christmas. (did that make sense?)

Comment by thelostairman on October 1, 2012 at 3:32pm: @crdn- I'm SO glad you finally got her letter! I know you have to feel so much better

I mailed so much mail today. :) Several letters from last week I was waiting on an address for, plus todays letter, a card and one of those neat questionnaires. The best part of the day for us was always mail call, I hated not getting a letter, going to make sure that doesn't happen to James.

Comment by joshuasmom (SHIP 11 / DIV 006) on October 1, 2012 at 3:25pm: @paula mom - I got my form letter Sat - all 5 fill in the blank slots with the neatest print I have seen my son do. LOL.

Comment by joshuasmom (SHIP 11 / DIV 006) on October 1, 2012 at 3:24pm: @crdn - My son Joshua is also on Ship 11 / Div 006. Waiting for a real letter.

Comment by crdn on October 1, 2012 at 3:15pm: Taylor shipped on the 24th, box arrived the 28th, and I received the letter today she is in Ship 11 Div 006. . .so relieved to finally hear something.

Comment by paula mom on October 1, 2012 at 2:19pm: i got austin's form letter today he does graduate the 16th of november he's in ship 11 division 006 so glad i know something

Comment by thelostairman on October 1, 2012 at 2:15pm: We'll probably drive up from Atlanta. Cheaper on gas than the plane tickets and we won't have to rent a car :)
