Welcome to PIR 12/02/2011

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by momof5~(1CorpMen1Undesignated) on November 25, 2011 at 1:10pm: I got to talk to my SAILOR most of the afternoon yesterday. The civic group that adopted him had extra cell phones and they could use them as often, as long as they wanted :) and then my SR was calling too, his time was more limited so I was bouncing between calls. Never thought that would be a problem, LOL it was a huge blessing to hear there voices and the love they have, they sure appreciate home when they are so far away for so long...ONLY 6days 11hours till we see SAILOR son PIR and then 12/16 for my other son!! What an exciting December :)

HUGS TO ALL

Comment by alnukemom on November 25, 2011 at 10:30am: Pentwater, Great News! I am counting down the hours and minutes too! Can't wait!

Comment by diannep on November 25, 2011 at 10:19am: Pentwater: That is so great! What a wonderful call that must have been between your f-in-law and your son. I know there was pride going in both directions between them! Another bond created. So glad that this gave you some comfort in missing the call. And, yes, it won't be long now before you are face to face with him! HOOYAH!

Good morning , all!

Comment by Pentwater98 on November 25, 2011 at 9:51am: Good Morning my Navy Family... Happy Black Friday to All... I just got off the phone with my mother in-law. She said that my father in-law was talking about the talk he had with my Sailor yesterday and how Proud of him he is.. That made me so happy.. I am ok with missing the call now... Hearing the Pride in her voice and how much it must to them to get to talk to him make it all worth it.. My father in-law was in the Navy too and my Sailor is their first grandson so I know it make his day to get to talk to him.. Plus I only have 6 days 9 hours 7 minutes 4 seconds until I get to see him.. So I am all better now..
