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 JackFlash on October 11, 2012 at 12:04am: I haven't heard anything about a 12/7/12 PIR yet, so I'm still hoping my son squeaked into 801 or 802 for 11/30/12

Fingers crossed.... and I LIKE this group.

Comment by Yvonne ship12div023 on October 11, 2012 at 12:04am: ship 12 Div 023???

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 10, 2012 at 11:58pm: My ears were burning! LOL

michie - not good or bad :-). They will be Brother Divisions.

Comment by ellen0502 on October 10, 2012 at 11:55pm: sjtina, thanks for jumping in early. :)

This PIR date came up fast, but the info on it is coming in slow and "jumpy". It was unusual to hear from the 801 division first, and then we saw division 025!

We went What happened to 019-024?

Then we got division 903, and still no 019-024?

Then it was 021 and 022 and we thought here they come!!!

Then we saw 802, another spec ops, and still no "regular" divisions.

Where are the rest of them?

Then incoming 021/022. back to the happy dance

Still waiting on 019/020 and 023/024, so if any of you have SRs are in those divisions let us know so we can go and get the rest of this PIR groups party started.

Comment by michie on October 10, 2012 at 11:22pm: Thank you ellen~ I know you know how invaluable this is to all of this. You are appreciated! (and sjtina too ;) )

Comment by sjtina on October 10, 2012 at 11:17pm: Thanks ellen. I usually jump in later after the discussion start. I am always late for everything, so this is new to me lol

Comment by ellen0502 on October 10, 2012 at 11:09pm: Division discussions will be started either this weekend or early next week. So far it looks like there are 11 divisions with this PIR date. Once we have a more concrete idea, or are pretty dagum sure :) we will get them opened for you.

If anyone here has SRs in divisions 019/020 or 023/024 could you please post the ship number?

Comment by Kim W. on October 10, 2012 at 10:07pm: We received our daughters box but still no form letter. Hopefully tomorrow...
Anyone know how the recruits get to vote in the election? This will be my daughters first opportunity to vote & I know she was looking forward to it.

Comment by michie on October 10, 2012 at 10:05pm: Yes FTLW, I guess we have two 800 divisions this time. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad~maybe they fill up quicker to head to SD? Yes countrymom, I think your right. My son turns 18 the week before PIR. So focused on his future adventures. I will be there with you in Chicago, making reservations tonight~ love the air fare specials :). Welcome everyone~ the fun of meeting new friends makes all of this an adventure for us too.

Comment by diannep on October 10, 2012 at 9:48pm: JackFlash> ellen will open the Discussion Forum above soon. We like to wait a little while so you all aren't so overwhelmed with too much info. Once it is open, she will have discussion groups set up for the brother divisions where you all can get to know each other better. She is waiting for more of the form letters to come in so that all know their division numbers.

So hang in there...the discussion groups will arrive shortly!
