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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 23, 2012 at 3:53pm: I am so happy for all of you who were able to see your Sailors or soon to be Sailors for Thanksgiving. I know how happy everyone of you are for PIR to be less than a week away. You are going to have a wonderful time and I wish I could go there to meet you all at the meet and greet :)

countrymom, as far as I have heard it can be different for each Sailor and base. And you most likely won't know until after your Sailor arrives at A-school and completes indoc. I think I did read Dec 21st through Dec 6th for students in Great Lakes but that may just be the ones who are already there now. Maybe someone else has a better answer :)

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and had lots of great homemade goodies. I cooked for two days, shopped all night, came home slept one hour in the past 32. Feeling a little like I was dropped off at boot camp, with lots of strangers everywhere I looked and people yelling and others trying to sleep standing up. It was a little crazy and definitely was not pretty lol. I miss Black Friday the way it used to be :(

Comment by countrymom on November 23, 2012 at 2:54pm: Anybody have any tenative info on leave dates for Christmas? I have to get my dates together for work. Thanks!

Comment by ddmom on November 23, 2012 at 1:51pm: So happy I got to talk to my son yesterday! My older son was able to drive 5 hours and get his brother and another recruit out for Thanksgiving. Priceless!! I know both my son and his friend had a great day. One more week!!!
