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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 26, 2012 at 10:46am: That is awesome Craig, so glad you have them home for a few days, and I love that video clip. I saw it on youtube. I heard they got into trouble for it but I hope not :-)

My Sailor only got 2 days off and then it's back to work so I came to her lol.

Comment by Craig on October 26, 2012 at 10:41am: Lala - My sailor son is on leave now too. Got home 2 days ago. My Air Force daughter comes home on Sunday for her RAP duty.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 26, 2012 at 10:18am: It should be fine bluesarasota, a watch is one of the items they are allowed to have and actually need. Just mark on the package what it is and bubble wrap it to protect it :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 26, 2012 at 8:53am: Thanks Diannep :-) They sure were happy to see her lol.

Good morning everyone, So as you can see from the video my Sailors ship came home yesterday YAY!!! I am of course in VA visiting her and so happy to see her but showered her with hugs instead of licks and tail wagging lol. This summer our Sailor came to FL to meet us for vacation and we were were all greeted with Tropical storm Debby. And now I am in VA to welcome my Sailor home and the weather channel is calling for what could be "The perfect storm." So depending on where this storm decides to go I may have to go home to NC a day early. I also have a daughter in college at UNC Wilmington so we have that concern as well. And what is waiting for me at home? The possibility of a snow storm :-0 Maybe I should change my name from Lala the Ribbon Queen to Lala the storm chaser lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope you are not in the path of this "perfect storm".

Comment by bluesarasota on October 26, 2012 at 8:41am: My son asked me to send him his watch. Does anyone know if it is okay to send it?

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2012 at 7:58am: So cute, Lala!

Good Morning All!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 25, 2012 at 11:27pm: In case anyone wonders the name listed on the video is not of a Sailor or anyone on this group at all so it should be okay :-)

Comment by Gabby-navy wife on October 25, 2012 at 11:22pm: Lorie lee I have know idea why it's been that long and you haven't gotten a letter. I got 4 letters today from my husband but none if them were sent out until the 22nd. They get ours letters everyday but aren't suppose to write back until Sundays. So hopefully you will get a letter soon.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 25, 2012 at 10:49pm: I thought I would share this with you guys. I know we have some dog lovers here :-) This is my Sailors dogs when she came home from the ship today :-)
