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".

** if you have an SR in ship 14 Div 008 it seems they are pretty much all sick.... nothing serious, it sounds like a nasty cold so lets be sure to say lots of prayers for those guys... I hate they are not feeling well :(

Comment by joshuasmom (SHIP 11 / DIV 006) on October 9, 2012 at 2:34pm: Can anyone stay at the Navy Lodge or do you need to be milliatry? Best hotel to stay at for graduation?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 9, 2012 at 9:45am: Good morning everyone, I will be away most of the day. I have to take our college girl back to Charlotte to meet her roommate and head back to UNCW. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Comment by thelostairman on October 9, 2012 at 8:55am: @Heather- If I get the phone call and not the finance I'll pass your message along. I'll put a sticky next to the phone to remember. LOL I know when we got our phone calls I would just keep calling different numbers till someone answered. But the AF spoiled us a bit, we always called on Sunday evenings between 7-8 EST. Which made me jump every time the phone rang on Sunday!

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2012 at 8:30am: Heather: They LOVE letters ....to be lined up and have their name called out for letters....excitement! So just keep sending those letters....!

Comment by HeatherT(09/003) on October 9, 2012 at 8:22am: Morning everybody... Hope everyone is haveing a great week. I booked plane tickets yesterday!! YEAH!! Am beleiving and having all faith that JT will graduate on time with no hold backs. :) But, as I have been checking prices, they went up by 50$ each ticket for an earlier leave time. So had to book to get best price.

Am looking forward to knowing how the swim test turned out. Alsowant to know how he feels about allllllllll the letters I have sent. :) HE is probably like really mom?!?! That much??? Your crazy!! LOL! If they get phone calls this week I won't get one. My phone has messed up big time!! They are having to send me a new sim card. UGH!! So upset over it. And no I can't go get one from a local store. I don't know why I asked but they couldn't answer that. Something about the way it had to be programed or some such... again UGH!! SO if any of you get phone calls from the 09/003 group please have your SR let JT know I love him and to call Kaitlyn. She'll get in touch with me!! THat is if you remember when you get your call. If your like me you'll probably forget because you are soooo excited. HEHE!! THanks everybody!! Hope you all have a blessed day!!
