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 15, 2012 at 1:49pm: wrwmom: They usually start BattleStations a week before PIR, and finish during PIR week (different divisions go on different nights). We are not allowed to post the dates on this site...we can only private message them.

So, this group starts next week, but will probably only go on one night since the Thanksgiving holidays are in there. They will continue during PIR week.

Here is the link to the BattleStations general info:

Comment by JackFlash on November 15, 2012 at 1:47pm: Hi All--- Just a note regarding PIR--

Do you realize that two weeks from today many of us will be gathering in Great Lakes for the Meet and Greets on the Eve of PIR??? That's exciting!

For those planning on getting together at Sarge's, I employed the artistic talents of my middle son who is making an 801/802 Poster so we can easily congregate...

No obligation, but other Divisions might like to do something similar--- Just for fun, and to make it easy to find the friends you've made on this Site. 801/802 should be easy to spot. In addition to the 801/802 Division numbers, just look for this>>>

Comment by wrwmom on November 15, 2012 at 1:42pm: I got a letter today my SR sounds really good, he said battlestations are next so i was wondering how close to graduation will they do them???

Comment by Debbie on November 15, 2012 at 1:40pm: The highways should be clear, we northerners are pretty darned good with snow removal! Do you have a GPS? I would def. buy one if not!

I'm hoping there's no snow, too!! Not in the mood for it this year!!

Comment by 2fast4u! on November 15, 2012 at 1:28pm: @ Debbie, Yeah, it's about 56 degrees right now, but not cold enough for a heavy jacket. Some ppl are still wearing short and flip flops. I'm so happy to go to GL, but I dred having to deal with the possiblity of snow. I've never driven in snow before and I'm afraid having to deal with it in a unfamiliar area.

Comment by Debbie on November 15, 2012 at 12:59pm: Hi 2fast, I wish I were spending winter in Pensacola! Cold up here in MN!!

Cool about Pastor's son being there!

Comment by Michelle on November 15, 2012 at 11:06am: One thing I have learned about this whole experience is to be really careful what you wish for, when I first starting going out my husband he used to be quite the writer. Always writing me little notes and poems, after being together for more then four years of course the sweet little poems and notes started to go away, I remember nagging him all the time about how I missed those old days and boy has that came and bit me in the butt. Now we don't get nothing but letters from our SRs.....maybe next time I'll be a little more specific with my wish list :/ lol

Comment by 1Sailor/1Marine on November 15, 2012 at 10:45am: Still have never received a call, but got an email yesterday that our Div t-shirts are on the way! And today should bring a letter, so it's a good day. Diannep do I message you for BS dates for the various Divs (to get them)?

Comment by diannep on November 15, 2012 at 9:38am: Jennifer: Hope you weren't hurt....sigh....what a pain, I know. But you have something really great to look forward to with PIR looming! Hope you have a better day today....a letter would "seal that deal!"

Comment by Jennifer on November 15, 2012 at 9:27am: Good morning all! I sure hope today is better than yesterday. Minor car accident yesterday added to all the stress already. Should be letter day today... I could sure use a letter today! :) 2 weeks and we will be heading to GL! So close!
