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 November 23, 2012 at 9:18am: Good Morning!

I was just given a different date for the 800 divisions by two different people this morning....looks like maybe there was a change from when the first person reported the first date to me.

So....for those I gave a date to for 801/802, please move it up two nights. Unfortunately, this will change the dates for the other groups too (other than 27-30....they should stay the same). Since maximum 4 divisions can go a night, some of the ones I originally said would start the week will not go that night. I won't know exactly which groups changed until we see who goes with the 800 groups. Sorry.....but it happens!

Comment by katielynn20 on November 23, 2012 at 2:42am: hey all just wondering if they posted the pics of div 030 yet???

Comment by JackFlash on November 23, 2012 at 12:14am: Nice news story/video on the abc7chicago.com website featuring those who went to the Gurnee Community Church today.

Comment by diannep on November 22, 2012 at 8:41pm: MiMi: Yep, I'm convinced that is why the RDCs read this site! Of course, they won't admit it, but I think they learn from us! HA! Yes, my son too had no idea what PIR was when he was up there. They know it as the graduation ceremony.

If anybody had an SR at Gurnee Church here is a link to pictures they posted of today. I saw my SR 7 times! They all looked so happy and were having a great time. You can post a comment on the churches website too.

Comment by LittleMissRed on November 22, 2012 at 8:28pm: I was able to talk to my fiance for 6 hours :) and he was able to sendme a picture through facebook, I am so happy right now :)
