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 13, 2012 at 1:07pm: The area code for Great Lakes is "847". You may also see "PAY PHONE" or "US GOVERNMENT".

Comment by cmurph50 on October 13, 2012 at 12:58pm: I just got my letter!! This is his PIR date. He is ship 14 div 025.
My only concern is he put his uncle instead of his sister in the guest list. I think he was confused because his uncle came to meps with me to see him swear in and leave. We were talking about the graduation. But my brother (his uncle) is planning on visiting him while he is in A-school at GL. Will he be able to change his name to my daughters?

Comment by Jennifer on October 13, 2012 at 12:21pm: Bellamom: My bf's dad called recruiter last Friday, and it took him til Tuesday to get back with him with the address. Maybe you'll hear from him on Monday (since it's not a holiday!) Or maybe the letter will come today. Good luck!!

Comment by Bellamom2 on October 13, 2012 at 12:00pm: Left 2 messages on the recruiters voice mali yesterday ..Ya think he's ignoring me ?! I want this address!! 'Ive got the dogs stalking the mail woman too now, I think i'll go crazy if i have to wait till Monday and still no letter :(

Comment by Craig on October 13, 2012 at 11:39am: FTLW or another vet mom - If haven't heard the latest on photos, and I just got this question:

Does the cost of the photo come out of the recruits issues card, or do they have to use their own credit card or check? ie how do you pay for them?

Since you wrote this a couple years ago, I thought I'd ask you 1st. Is this post still true?

Comment by sailorsbaby94 on October 13, 2012 at 11:11am: Does anyone know what the phone number will look like when they call?

Comment by GIRLS2MM on October 13, 2012 at 11:06am: Yea the graduation letter from my nephew has arrived. So sad that my name was not on the list but I completely understand why he would want his wife, mom, dad and nanny to be there. I can support him from where I am. He is on ship 3 division 020 anybody else have one in that division?

Comment by diannep on October 13, 2012 at 10:30am: You can send cards....but we recommend white envelopes! Good Morning!

Comment by Michelle on October 13, 2012 at 10:25am: Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with their mailman or is it just me?? I spend all day waiting for him, when he gets here I run out the house to check what I got and then STILL NO LETTER and he instantly becomes my enemy...until the next morning.
