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 22, 2012 at 9:48pm: This PIR group is one of the lucky ones who can leave for Thanksgiving with family members, etc. The later PIR groups who will be early in their training will have a Thanksgiving dinner on the base (my son was in that group the year he was in).

Also, there are churches, etc in the area who are wonderful about taking busloads of the SRs to share Thanksgiving dinner with them. Then they will post piks of the, sometimes post videos...and they allow them to use their cell phones to call anyone they like! It is wonderful! Again, the very new SRs will not be allowed to do this.

Comment by BmommaBol on October 22, 2012 at 9:36pm: I wish I could make it out to take my husband for the day. :( Been a rough couple of days.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 22, 2012 at 9:36pm: The good thing is that those who have family that cannot come (and most cannot) they have many many churches and different organizations who fix huge Thanksgiving dinners for the recruits. Many of the people in charge let them use their cellphones to call their families. They are so happy to get off that base and be able to relax a little bit :-)

Comment by GIRLS2MM on October 22, 2012 at 9:18pm: I know I can't be there but would like to send money to help pay for a SR dinner to somebody that is adopting a SR for Thanksgiving.

Comment by Lorie-Lee ship 3 div 20 on October 22, 2012 at 9:07pm: What happens to those who do not have family near by??

Comment by Eryn on October 22, 2012 at 9:01pm: Where do you get this paperwork? Do you think I would be able to sign out my boyfriend?

Comment by Lorie-Lee ship 3 div 20 on October 22, 2012 at 8:50pm: are you saying that the boys in Boot camp can leave to go have Thanksgiving Dinner??

Comment by Dena on October 22, 2012 at 8:15pm: TammySue what hotel did you find with the Thanksgiving Buffet? Just in case I can work something out to get in the area?

Comment by TMM Ship03Div20(was godsgirltmm) on October 22, 2012 at 7:56pm: I hope they are able to the adopt-a-sailor for our recruits. I know that is one of the things my daughter was looking forward to!

Comment by 1Sailor/1Marine on October 22, 2012 at 7:49pm: We live in CA so no way we can make it for Thanksgiving. So happy to hear that my SR will get to spend it with someone, even if it won't be me. Still no letter... :(
