Welcome to PIR 02/03/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by blackie123 on January 7, 2012 at 6:57pm: Just got a call earned for a "perfect rack". Says the division has actually started coming together. They do have a flag now. On day 3/4 she thinks She sounded very pumped. I asked her what she wanted after boot and she said SWEETS! lol. Flying out 4 am sat am after pir for sc is what she was told.

Comment by navymom88 (02/Div911) on January 7, 2012 at 6:33pm: Love being informed..thank you everyone ...I am away and don't miss anything

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 7, 2012 at 6:17pm: When my daughter was at bootcamp and had been there less than 2 weeks one of the girls she had met in DEP before leaving was on the computer at bootcamp. But, she had fallen down some stairs and broke her leg and was waiting to see if she would be sent home or stay there to heal. She wait more than 4 weeks before she finally came home and she said they got computer time every Saturday. She talked to me one day on facebook and said she had just seen my daughter and that she was doing very well. She said she wanted to tell her that she had talked to me but they were not allowed to talk to them or anyone else lol. So who knows, scam? Maybe or maybe a whole division doing some pretty intense IT right now :-(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 7, 2012 at 6:04pm: I thought some could earn time...that's good to know Arwen. There was a mom recently who had her recruit post on her FB page with no problems.
Oh, and they switched some of the restaurants at Ricky Heaven, let's see still a Subway ( where is there NOT one these days!), KFC, Taco Bell, still Pizza Hut. At least it was that way in May...too bad...Panda would've been great when we had dinner with our Sailor there. Who knows, they may have switched again!

Comment by Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on January 7, 2012 at 5:30pm: thanks for sharing Arwen. :)

Comment by AmyD on January 7, 2012 at 5:20pm: Yay Eljac913 glad you got a call!

Comment by Arwen on January 7, 2012 at 5:14pm: There are a bunch of computers at the RTC "Ricky Heaven," which is the recruit R&R area. Once recruits get to their 4th week they can begin earning time at Ricky Heaven. It has a huge video arcade, a comfy couch lounge with a giant-screen TV, a phone bank, a bunch of computers, a food court with four fast-food places (Burger King, Subway, Panda Express and a Pizza Hut), and a convenience store.

Usually the RDCs will put the computers and the TV lounge off-limits, but in the last week or two they are sometimes allowed. For newly graduated sailors who have no family to take them out during PIR weekend, they often spend the whole weekend at Ricky Heaven and have full access to the computers and TV lounge.

OTOH, it has been known for recruits to sneak a few minutes on one of those computers when they don't have permission, and when caught both the individual recruit and their whole division are punished rather severely for the infraction.

Comment by Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on January 7, 2012 at 4:56pm: yeah, i just know my husband hasn't contacted me, and the guy was saying he was in the same ship/div. So I didn't think it could be right.

Comment by diannep on January 7, 2012 at 3:48pm: Hmmm...interesting. I was thinking that this must be a recruit who PIRed yesterday. They get access to the computers after Battlestations (they pay for it) and hasn't left RTC yet. They can go on FB then. In fact, I tell people on the group that if they didn't receive the I'm a Sailor call, and they have access to their sailor's FB page, check it because many are notified that they have a sailor from that rather than the phone call. If the phones are busy, then often they will buy computer time to get on FB. So maybe this guy is actually a sailor? Not sure, but better to delete like you did just in case.
