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 collinsnavygirlsmomSHIP14,DIV013 on October 30, 2012 at 12:22pm: FTLW...thank you that was hilarious. I'm a tough ole mama, no crying here :) Angry....heck yes!! I am a healthcare professional and working on another degree right now...not a lot of free time to play these military mind games. Take it, send it home, send it back, throw it away!! GRRRR

Thank God this "character building" chapter will be over in 22 days...bless you all for letting me VENT :)

I did take time to go to Brett's Carepage and read his story...what a HERO!! Thanks for all of the updates and informing us all about this, we had not heard anything about this tragic story here in the Midwest.

Also, praying for all of our Navy families on the east coast <3

Comment by pinkpuddles on October 30, 2012 at 12:08pm: Maryland survived the storm. Praying that everyone else did as well and praying for Brett and his family. Hugs to everyone.....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 30, 2012 at 10:56am: good morning everyone, glad to hear brett had a restful night, I am sure he needs a lot of those. Prayers daily for him and his family.

We have missed the snow so far although it is falling pretty much all around us. Lots of school closings in the area. The pics on the news are so scary. I hope everyone in the path is safe and warm.

Comment by Ctownmom (Ship 13, Div 011) on October 30, 2012 at 8:48am: Good Morning All -

Hope everyone has made through Sandy and are beginning the clean up process. Praying for Brett, our SR's and all of their families.

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2012 at 8:39am: UPDATE on Brett this morning: Restful night, ventilator gone, trach in--he will be more comfortable, they can now see his handsome face! He responded to commands earlier from nurses, but was "out" this morning when his wife visited. Thanks for continued prayers!

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2012 at 8:06am: Yes, FTLW. Should have clarified that...took his leg halfway between ankle/knee...which is a PRAISE that they didn't have to take more than that. Prayers that they don't have to go in and take more....and like you are praying, I'm praying for more rapid progress with his recovery now too.

Good Morning Ladies!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 30, 2012 at 1:19am: diannep - Just read the update. They did not have to take his whole leg. Joy in sorrow! I pray that his healing will progress rapidly now.

Comment by diannep on October 29, 2012 at 9:04pm: Very sad news on Brett today, ladies. They had to amputate his right leg this afternoon. It was his leg...or his life. Just too much infection. Heartbreaking...but we are still trusting in the Lord to heal him....the dr thinks that now he will be able to recover more quickly...he is still on dialysis to kick start his remaining kidney...please pray extra hard for his wife Susan and mom Greta who have been right there with Brett...it is a grieving process for them too....thanks so much for the prayers.
