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 diannep on October 24, 2012 at 2:45pm: Ahhhh, Queenb: I can assure you that he is following the rules....verbatim....at bootcamp! :-) The consequences of not following them are not pleasant...And, I have a feeling you will see lots of changes when he visits at home! My son has been out of the Navy now since March, and just moved back home in Sept. Even though he was pretty clean and neat about his room, bathroom, etc before he left several years earlier, he is really good about that now. Even wipes down the glass shower doors and closes them when he finishes his shower--something I had always tried to get my sons to do years earlier, but unsuccessfully. Now, I'm sure there are no glass door showers in the Navy, but he must have learned it somehow!. WOW! So...get ready! It is a nice transition!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 24, 2012 at 1:47pm: I'm very sorry LittleMissRed...glad he has you to support him. I know it will be hard for those who cannot go eprsonally for Adopt-A-Sailor...but I will tell you from what I saw lat year...many, many are so generous and provide cell phones for calls.

Comment by LittleMissRed on October 24, 2012 at 1:07pm: Sadly my sr's parents aren't ... As involved I'm his life as he would want them to be. He invited his mom to come to pir but she hasn't even contacted me back about it. I've been keeping his little sister updated through face book though

Comment by Eryn on October 24, 2012 at 12:54pm: Little Miss Red,

I had the same problem, but I ended up getting my boyfriend's dad to go with me. I'm not sure if his dad already filled out the form or whatever so I don't know if we could sign out your SR. But if I were you I would just ask around and see if anyone would want to sign him out as their one guest and spend the day with you two. That is what I was going to try to do. Kind of sucks not being able to make your own plans, but better than nothing.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 24, 2012 at 12:13pm: Betsy-boo...

Comment by Queenb1069 on October 24, 2012 at 12:04pm: So my son's girlfriend and I decided to be brave last night and go up to his room. We got it all cleaned up and ready for his first visit home. I am thinking I should have done it sooner. I found some gross stuff, ie food and drink left upstairs. There shouldn't have been any, as the house rules are no food and drink upstairs. I certainly hope he follows the rules at boot camp better than he followed the rules at home. Lol

Comment by diannep on October 24, 2012 at 11:40am: Feel better, Betsy!

Comment by Bugsmama on October 24, 2012 at 11:30am: Miss Betsy I hope you feel better soon!

Hope many of you get letters today. Im stalking mine.

I feel for you all that can't be with their recruit for Thanksgiving but they will be well taken care of...the families and organizations participating always go out of their way to make the recruits and Sailors feel very welcomed and loved!!
Have a GREAT day its Hump day!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 24, 2012 at 11:15am: I am so sorry LittleMissRed, maybe he can be the guest of another Sailor who has family picking them up. Then you could join them for dinner :-)

I hope you feel better soon Betsy <3

You know you are a Navy or Military Mom when Rachel Ray makes you cry. She is surprising a Mom and Dad there for a makeover by secretly bringing in their Coast Guard son whom they haven't seen in 6 months. Bring on the tissues!!!!
