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 November 24, 2012 at 1:18am: raynor - I am going to friend you...and then we can work on it from there, k?

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2012 at 9:13pm: Ok, I'm getting one date for 801 and one date for 802 for BattleStations. That is odd since being brother divisions. they should be going at the same time. Sigh....

Thanks so much for posting here, SailorMom! So glad that you got up there!

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on November 23, 2012 at 8:18pm: Another bit of advice....go to SARGE's meet and greet. I believe you can sign up...on the right hand side of this page. He gives GREAT advice! Good food! And you get to meet a bunch of the NAVYFORMOM's in person!

Two taxi's to keep numbers for:

Sarge:847-212-0246 and Chris:847-343-0209

awesome people, they know how to get you anywhere you need to be! How relaxing it was to just rely on them!

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on November 23, 2012 at 8:15pm: My son graduated on the 21st! I will be leaving Great Lakes in the morning. Just wanted to leave a little note for those of you who are coming in.... PLEASE dress warm!! Especially if you are from the south like I am. It is COLD!! and WINDY! Hats, gloves, coats, layers.... The weather people may say it'll be 45....but with the wind it feels more like 30-35. Just a bit of advice! I've had a ball being here! ENJOY YOUR SR'S!!

Comment by SailorsMomShip12Div023 on November 23, 2012 at 6:57pm: Talked to my SR about an hour ago. Captain's Cup was today for this group. Division 023 took 2nd place for integrated Divisions. Don't know who took 1st for integrated and non-integrated. Can't wait to see him in 6 days!

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2012 at 6:36pm: rayner: Sorry, I have no idea how to do that! I have always just added one pik at a time. Maybe FTLW knows?

Well it is possible that they had Captains Cup today since there were no BattleStations last night for this group so all were rested. They have gone on Friday before, but it is rare. Guess we shall see if someone calls home with info! They go in the mornings.

Comment by angelking on November 23, 2012 at 4:36pm: What a wonderful Thanksgiving. We picked Cyle, our son, & Anthony, our adopted SR, up at 8:15am at calls tRTC. The first thing they asked to do was to go eat a real breakfast. Then we went to IL Beach resort for a fabulous dinner buffet. Cyle had his phone & I gave Aonthony my phone & they made calls home. Then it was decided to go see a movie. Robbie, our 5yr old, wanted to see Reck It Ralph, so that's the move Cyle said we were seeing. He wanted to spend time with his little brother. Then after the movie they wanted to eat again, so we went to a cozy family restraunt had some supper & just sat & enjoyed our time together. We dropped them back off at RTC at 7:15 giving both them big long hugs & a see ya next Friday. Very much enjoyed our day with our son Cyle & our adopted SR Anthony.
