WELCOME to PIR 11/21/2012!

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 bayoukat110 on November 15, 2012 at 11:33pm: Thank you kellyd! My son is in div 12.

Comment by Kellyd on November 15, 2012 at 11:14pm: Bayoukat,

My SR is had some trouble with his running. I too am a little nervous about his running portion.
Do you know if all f the ship/divisions do their PFT tests at the same time?

I was told by my son's recruiter that they do not set up the SR's to fail. He said you will be amazed how that will motivate someone to run.

I hope he is right.

I will add your SR to my prayer lst.

Comment by bayoukat110 on November 15, 2012 at 11:00pm: Help me! I just got a phone call from my Sr and he said missed his run on his pfa by 20 seconds. Told me that he will not be able to graduate on time if he doesnt pass it again on Monday and wont be able to contact me and let me know. My dilema is this. What if he does and i miss his graduation. Should i go or not? He said i wont be able to see him if he doesnt. I have tickets on amtrak and can use them for a later date if i have too. I want to scream right now.
