If your PIR only has 5 divisions than you should definetly have no problem getting in. We had 14 divisions. Wow. OK Have fun :-)

Comment by Sharlene/Ship 007 Div 050 on January 10, 2011 at 3:46pm: I am going to the meet and greet. Our PIR only has 5 divisions, so I don't think it will be a problem. Thanks for all the information.

Make sure you go the the meet and greet at the Ramada. It was alot of fun to meet all the girls I'd bee chatting with. A few of us are still friends and still chat. It makes it so much more fun when you can put a face to the name and chat.

And have fun I know we did.

Comment by Sharlene/Ship 007 Div 050 on January 8, 2011 at 11:27pm: Richsmom, Your husband sounds like a very smart man! We are still debating driving vs shuttle. We will probably play it by ear. I am willing to take my chances on getting in. Even if I don't get in, I get to see our SR afterwards. Thanks so much for the information.

We drove to PIR and did not take the shuttle. We had to wait in line for a little while but it was't too bad. Just leave early. There was plenty of parking and it was well organized. If you have your own car then you can leave at your leisure and not have to worry about getting back at a certain time.

As far as not being on the listor not and getting a seat, I really can't say for sure. My son's PIR had 14 divisions which I was told was the most ever. I think we had plenty of room. I'll try to get the answer for you.

BTW Our car was picked randomly for a spot check upon pulling on to base. We had to get out and open the trunk, glove compartment etc. No big deal.

My hubby said it was because I looked so good in my dress. Now wasn't that nice of him to say, especially after being married to me for 30 years. HA HA

Comment by Sharlene/Ship 007 Div 050 on January 8, 2011 at 10:19am: Ladies, our SR's PIR is 2 weeks away! Any tips that you can pass along? ie driving to and parking on base vs taking a shuttle? I'm the step-mom and I am not on the "list" for PIR, I've read that I can probably get seated after everyone on the lists are seated, what are your thoughts on this. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
