Welcome to PIR 05/11/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors 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 kimstn on May 5, 2012 at 10:40am: I want to thank all of you for being there and providing so much support through these last 7 weeks. PIR is less than 7 days away - can't believe we are almost there.

You know I have learned a lot about my abilities to be a parent of a Sailor and learning when to share and what to keep to myself for his protection. But there are two things I am busting to tell you now that BS21 is over and he is a Sailor.

Not only is my son RCPO for his unit (and one of the youngest in his group), but he was also named as their Honor Graduate. I am so PROUD that I am busting at the seams. I didn't want to say anything before because that would be like putting a target on him - not hard to identify him/me if I am blasting it in the headlines here - lol

This site and the info here helped me understand that responsibility that he has carried these last weeks and what an honor and privilege it is to have those bestowed on him.

So thanks for being here for all of us and letting me share my joy and pride today!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 5, 2012 at 10:01am: Good Morning everyone :-) I wanted to share something with all of you. I am so happy to have this site to turn to for answers to any question I have about what my Sailor is doing or what is in store for her in the future. This site has been a God send for me. I have enjoyed being a part of so many PIR groups and getting to know all of you a little bit and some of you very well. I have made so many lifelong friends here that I now can't imagine life without. You are all a blessing to me. When we were in VA a couple weeks ago visiting our Sailor we went to the big NEX several times. It is much like a mall and filled with Sailors lol. You know I had to restrain myself from going up and talking to everyone of them and asking if their mom was a member of this site. Especially those who looked so young and you could tell they were still "pretty new" to this adventure. I wanted to hug each one of them and tell them how much we all care about and appreciate them. I am sure you all will feel the same way and will find yourself walking up to someone in uniform and thanking them for their service to our country.

{{{{{ HUGS }}}}}} to all of you, my N4M friends :-)

Comment by crizzdeluca on May 4, 2012 at 8:33pm: Congratulations to all the new sailors and their families. It was so great to hear from my son today.

Comment by diannep on May 4, 2012 at 7:44pm: Congrats to the new sailors! All of this PIR group will have a blast tomorrow in Captains Cup. They do it in the morning. Hopefully some will get calls home tomorrow to let you know the winners. With RTC FB not posting on weekends nor allowing posts on weekends, you won't find out there until next week.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 4, 2012 at 7:05pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors and of course to you, their families. Less than one week and you will be hugging your Sailors :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 4, 2012 at 6:53pm: Congratulations to Divisions 145/146...the US Navy's newest Sailors! Hooyah!

Comment by Steph on May 4, 2012 at 6:32pm: I just got off the phone with my new sailor! That was so exciting! He had been up going on 38 hours now. He had security watch the night before so he only had 5 hours sleep prior to. We were able to talk for an hour which was great. He had no word when he was flying out so I'm still praying for a possible Sunday flight. Plan for the worst and hope for the best, all we can do. Congrats to all our new sailors! Only 7 more days! Okay now I can go to bed. I too have been up over 24 hours for work but didn't want to miss his call.
