DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Anyone have their PIR outfit? I went shopping with my mother in law. We got ours and so did my SRs grandma. It was fun and made PIR seem close! I hope the weather cooperates!

Does anyone know what the weather will be like?!? I'm assuming mid 30's to low 40's

Gwynhwyfar I think they still have to wear the other glasses. But I heard comments about bringing their regular ones or contacts to PIR so maybe after?
Seriously I can't wait to see them in uniform!!!
Yeah Ashley my hunny asked for me to send info on Groton and A school and stuff specifically for your SR. He said he was a nice guy. I told him we met on here and that your SR is also going on subs. Anyway would be cool to all hang out someday! Maybe in CT! Have you decided on moving?
18 days and counting! I would love for it to fly by! I agree I think this whole experience had made my SR and myself closer even though before we were practically glued together lol! I can't wait to see him. Not sure if I can't last the whole ceremony guys so if you see a crazy lady running down the bleachers its me! Lol. ;)

I had to change my hotel -- my dog sitter got sick and I'm having trouble finding another one. The hotel I originally had reservations at doesn't allow dogs, so I had to find one that does. At least my dog loves car trips!
I can't wait for PIR -- I'm dying to see him all handsome in his uniform. Do they get to wear their own glasses for PIR or do they have to wear the BCG?
I hope I get letters this week. No letters last week made for a very rough week. At least I know that I sent him plenty of mail!

Omg really?! He never talks about anybody else, he only talks about marriage and us and our future, which I don't mind. Heck I would love a double date! It's nice to know I'll have 1 friend when I move to CT!! And the whole weekend? What for?!
I can't believe 18 more flipping days! I do feel we are so much stronger now and I can't wait to just run and hug him! Well our son can have first dibs but just for a second:P

I'm back home now. I'm so glad I could be with my inlaws during this tough time. I only wish that my husband was here. We decided to tell him about his grandpa's passing after PIR when we are all with him.
I'm so excited! 18 more days Yippee! We can hang on just a little more!
Ashley I was so happy to hear in my letter this week that our SRs have been talking lol. My husband mentioned a double date isn't that cute? ;)
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
Oh I almost forgot. My SR div 109 this last letter....he mentioned getting the whole weekend? Anyone else??? That would be amazing!

This was posted on the TSC Facebook wall 15 minutes ago. Here's everyone's chance to be heard.
Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes I am trying to determine what people have been told by whom. It is not my intent to affect people who were told they would have liberty. I need to know who told them. The new plan will go in affect but I did not want to impact people with plans. Still working this. Talk to me folks. Who told your sailor they would have liberty.
