WELCOME TO PIR 11/20/2012

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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 26, 2012 at 6:06pm: Youi're right Bears Nana...the form for Adopt-A-Sailor must be submitted.There is a deadline date.

Congrats on the call!

Comment by Bears Nana on October 26, 2012 at 5:06pm: Talked to my SR in Div 802 yesterday and he knew nothing about a thanksgiving form or adopt a sailor. I told him I and his sister would be there for thanksgiving and to get me that form. Hopefully he is able to ask about it and get it in the mail soon. I am under the impression that without that form he cannot be signed out. right??so exciting to be getting the phonecalls and letters now. Makes a huge difference

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 26, 2012 at 4:52pm: I made a Discussion for Thanksgiving Dinner. I'll "bump" it to the top of the Discussion Forum.

Comment by aprildawn9209 on October 26, 2012 at 4:48pm: Lala....did you post a link to places in/near Great Lakes for Thanksgiving dinner? We got a form and we're headed to GL for Thanksgiving to spend with my SR son!! Sooooo excited!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 26, 2012 at 4:42pm: I will add that I have never heard of anyone getting set back because of having any dental work. You can check and see if you can fly South West. Even if you have to drive a couple hours to fly with them it would be worth it. They don't charge a fee if you have to change your flight. They only make you pay the difference in the tickets. So if you paid $200 and you had to change to a later date and the tickets were $250 then you would only have to pay the extra $50. They also don't charge for your checked bag (maybe even 2) like most airline charge about $50 per bag. So make sure you check prices with all charges when comparing airlines. I will say that I heard on the news that airfare is expect to go up significantly over the holidays and people are advised to buy tickets before the end of this month.

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2012 at 4:21pm: Awwwww....so glad you got to talk to her, TMM. I bet hearing your voice meant the world to her!

Elsie: The only SRs who will not graduate on time will be those who are asmoed (setback) for any reason. Medical, failure of tests, disciplinary, etc. can lead to that. Hard to say how many are affected by this...it varies. They start with about 88 SRs in a division, lose some, gain some more from earlier divisions (who were asmoed and are now training again)....but most of them graduate on time.

Comment by TMM Ship03Div20(was godsgirltmm) on October 26, 2012 at 2:19pm: I got a phone call!!!! :D It was so good to talk to her. It took a few minutes to be able to understand her because she started crying when I answered the phone. I kept asking her if she was ok and she kept saying yes and I said are you sick and she said no and I said are you crying and she said yeah, I just miss you. She was on watch when everyone else got their calls on Wednesday. Which I guess turned out to be in our favor because we got to talk for over an hour!! This is one happy momma today! :D:D:D

Comment by ElsieS on October 26, 2012 at 12:50pm: Veteran members (or anyone, really):

I would be interested in the odds of our SR graduating on time. Is there a percentage you can post that I can use to weigh out my options? I hate risk, and I am worried/unhappy about getting nonrefundable airline tix! (Haven't purchased yet....) Was told the penalty for just CHANGING a ticket would be $150 per person. How much higher are the odds (of my SR not graduating on time) if he has to have his wisdom teeth out? Or by being in an 800 div? Or is there absolutely no way to guess, and I just have to DO IT!?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 26, 2012 at 12:49pm: HOOYAH!!

Comment by Bugsmama on October 26, 2012 at 12:31pm: LMBO...Craig thanks for the video link, not laughing at that but at the mailbox pic! I had a dummy line rigged to my box so Id know when I got mail...my have times changed, thank God for technology!!! Lol

That video does chap my hide...This Great Nation needs to kick some butt and take back what's ours...IMO!
the numbering of letters is really important and very practical! Everyone should be doing that. Keeps everyone sane and confusion to a minimum!
