This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

Hello everyone just wondering how all your sailors from our PIR group are doing now that they have been in the Navy just under 2 years? Where is everyone.
My son just graduated yesterday from nuclear prototype in Ballston Spa, NY it has taken 2 years but finally he has completed his nuclear schooling and is qualified as a Navy nuke. He will be headed to the fast attack submarine USS Mississippi which as of today is still the newest commissioned sub in the Navy.

Greetings Awesome Alumni of 2/11/11. On this 1st Anniversary or our sailors PIR I hope you are fortunate enough to be with your sailor. If not I hope you are enjoying remembering ever single moment of that special day when we finally got to see our sailors. They did it! And we were all so proud to be there to share their celebration. Now they are scattered all over world serving in the world's finest Navy but they will always be bound together by the time and experiences that they shared during BC. As Navy Moms we are also bound together by our experience as parents. I know I would not have made it through without the support of my Navy Moms (and Dads). I am not on here very much anymore but I will think of you all often. We have a facebook group for PIR 2/11/11. This is a closed group but I will add any of you who want to join. We have been staying in touch and even sharing pictures of our Sailors and PIR. If you want to check it out here is the link.

I got to see my SeaBee for just a few minutes today, but I got a hug which is worth more than I can say. It's been a year with many sorrows and many bends in the road, but also with much joy. HOO-YAH!

This date a year ago, many of us were on our way to GL's to get ready for the Meet n Greet and find our way around. Much anticipation of the PIR and the bearing the cold weather! Hard to believe

Thanks to advice from Meagan5520 back in Oct.! We will be celebrating Christmas on New Year's Day this year as that is when my sailor will be in town. It will be a little different on Christmas but the excitement of what's coming will get us through. thank goodness it is better than last year!! This year we decked out the whole house inside & out so that our sailor will really feel "home". I am slowly, very slowly, learning to let go of the significance of the "day" and instead focusing on our time we do get together. Thank goodness for the help of all of you!!!

My son left a year ago today....wow how fast a year goes by and just an FYI Great Lakes is alot closer and easier to deal with than Japan. I thought then I was going to die with him being gone, to just find out it was a walk in the park compared to what I would go through with him being stationed in Japan. I am however looking forward to him arriving home December 30th =)
