marychris'smom: We also took the shuttle....it was great....that may work for your parents too....if either of them need a wheelchair, there are sailors manning them on base who would be happy to wheel either or both of them into PIR Hall and back out again.
Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day! I wanted to ask, is there an RSVP phone number or email for Sarge's Meet and Greet or do you just show up? I would like for my mother in law and I to be well informed the day before PIR. Thank you
Thanks so much!!! SO EXCITED!!!!
marychris'smom,
You can also take a shuttle to PIR. Sarge can help you there. Then you won't need a gate pass. ($3 per person each way.) 847-212-0246 Sign up at his Meet & Greet on Thursday night~~
Greetings!
"Lift up your eyes on high,
and see Who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name, by the greatness
of His might and the strength of His power;
not one is missing."
Isaiah 40:26
Thank you! I hope we get a call (or 2!) before next week - if not, no worries, we will make it work!
marychirs'smom,
You can only get the password from your SR, it is not to be shared. When you get the "I am a SAILOR cal", ask your son for the password. If he doesn't remember it, have him ask one of the others in his TG also making a call, someone will know.
Good Morning Moms!
Only a little more than a week left to go - can you believe it's finally here??
Okay - I need help...GULP! We are driving from Kansas City to Great Lakes, and we have lost the letter with the Passcode to print the vehicle parking pass. After checking with several people, our recruits are the only one who has that information. I am not sure if I will be able to get a letter in time, or talk on the phone to get it from him before we leave! So, when I asked about a shuttle from the manager at the Marriott Residence Inn where we are staying and explained my problem, he said to just go on N4M's and ask the moms in the same PIR because we all have the same password for our week/group. Would someone please share this with me? My elderly parents are attending with us and it would be so much better if we can drive them..
Thank you in advance for your help - I hope to meet any of you that can make it to Sarge's Meet & Greet the night before!
Mary (Chris's Mom!)
Awww, amity, thanks so much! Your N4Moms team loves helping on here!
Good Morning/Afternoon ---as it is about to become afternoon! Been busy this morning driving up to get my 1 yr old grandson to bring him here for the day....so was out and about very early! No time to post here!
Admins- Not sure if it's ok to post this or not, but what the heck...I designed a Navy Mom shirt yesterday after a bunch of us saw a great saying on the FB PIR group page. I didn't set up the teespring to raise money or even get a profit, I just wanted to have something that expressed the pride that all of us feel. So if you'd like to order, we have 6 days to fill 46 orders. T-shirts are $12.25, I think long-sleeved are $14 and hoodies are $24.99. There is a ladies cut shirt in there too.
Anywho... Navy Moms are the strongest
