Here are a few little PIR notes:

BLEACHERS:

Are cold! I brought a shawl to either sit on or wrap myself in.

Don't set anything down on the bench that is thin like a camera, cell phone, keys, etc. The floors of the bleachers are solid except underneath the seats there are openings just wide enough and about a foot (?) long for modern day devices to fall through...it is like a black hole...you won't get it back.

PHOTOS:

Take a few practice shots before the ceremony. They can come out dark. I think it's all the grey paint LOL.

You may start photography when you enter the Visitors enter (USS YORKTOWN) and in Midway Ceremonial Drill hall...only. Photography is not allowed anywhere else onboard RTC. You risk having your camera confiscated and the pictures deleted. Also, your Sailor could get in trouble. They are your sponsor while you are onboard RTC.

SMOKING is also not permitted onboard RTC.

There are concession stands at either end of the PIR hall that sell soft drinks COFFEE water and some snacks. You may bring some snacks into the Hall with you if needed for little ones and those that may need it for medical reason. They used to sell "Dixie cup" (Mens style)Sailor hats for the kiddies for $5. I hope they still do.

POSTERS, BALLOONS, FLOWERS and LUGGAGE

Are not permitted in the Drill hall. Posters obstruct others view. Plus, this is a Formal ceremony and they do not suit the event. You may keep these items in your car and present them to your Sailor following PIR but remember that they may not bring those items back onboard RTC when they return from Liberty.

WHEELCHAIRS

Use of wheelchairs and manually-powered mobility aids are authorized onboard RTC. Wheelchair accomadationsare provided on the Drill deck and a companion seat is made available for someone to sit with them. RTC does have wheel chairs on a first-come first-serve basis. Also, if you need handicapped parking be sure to show your placard to Security in the Gate Shack and they will direct you to handicapped parking.

There should be some I'm a Sailor calls received this afternoon!  I believe from 047/048 and possibly the 900 divisions.  Keep those phones close!  They could start as early as 2 pm Central time.

Good Morning!

Blessed Sunday!

      May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.

      May the Lord show you His favor and

      give you His peace."

Captains Cup was yesterday.  Divisions 907 and 908 were the winners.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2014 at 12:37pm

Oh, ok.  You meant mom of a "recruit" not "recruiter."  The recruiter part is what confused me!  :-)

And, yes, Captains Cup should have been yesterday for this PIR group.  It is the Sat. before PIR.

Good Morning!
