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 diannep on April 25, 2012 at 7:54am: Still hoping to start the BattleStations schedule for this group so if you have any dates that your SR has told you, please friend request/private message them to me. I will get a schedule and message it out. We cannot post dates on this site. Have to private message. Please be sure to read the BattleStations discussion above so you know what your SRs will be going through.

Comment by diannep on April 25, 2012 at 7:50am: moda: Has she asked that you send it? If so, it is ok to send it now. We always suggest you all wait for your SR to ask for certain items before mailing them. She is allowed to have the makeup (will put away until PIR) but she needs to know when you send it.

Comment by DaniHMItalyMom on April 25, 2012 at 7:03am: Loving the clock on this site. I can't believe I only have 16 more days. Where did the time go?

Comment by modaPIR5/11Ship12Div147 on April 24, 2012 at 8:57pm: How soon is too soon to send makeup for PIR? Should we wait til closer or is it okay to plan ahead?

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2012 at 8:50pm: ...should add that they also can fly out any time between 6:30 a.m.and evening!

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2012 at 8:43pm: Smile: They can fly at any time of the day. Some may leave on 6:30 a.m. flights; others may not leave until late afternoon or early evening. Your sailors will know which airport they leave from, but unfortunately not before you will have booked flights. As Betsy said, we always suggest that you book flights out on Sunday or Monday if possible...just in case you can get more time with your sailor. You can always do some sightseeing if your sailor leaves early!

rluv: You shouldn't have a problem with your group getting gate passes. It is up to the airlines personnel, but they love their sailors and are usually very accommodating.

Comment by rluv76-ship09/div144 on April 24, 2012 at 8:22pm: Question about airport. .how many people will they let through tsa we will have her brother and sister grandma and step father with us. Will they let us al go

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 24, 2012 at 7:59pm: In addition to what Lady Hamilton stated about your sailors' flights, one of the things that we also suggest is to book your flights to leave Chicago on Sunday. There is also a slight possibility that your sailor could be put on a later flight out and you might have a chance to wait with them at the airport. You wouldn't want to leave Chicago early and then find out that your sailor may have been there a little bit longer, after you were already gone. Also, if you sailor does happen to leave on Saturday, you could go to the airport and still be fine with your own flight out, since it would be the next day. There would be no rushing around trying to get to your own flight.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 24, 2012 at 7:49pm: Yeah rluv, hers were too. And she wanted her hair gel. I think she missed those things more than her phone lol.

Emma, mine was an AN and now she is an AOAN :-)

Comment by Smile09 AD/HM Mom on April 24, 2012 at 5:27pm: Dianne, So do all the recruits fly out of the same airport? O'hare or Midway? What is the range of wait time for flights to leave if they leave at 2am for the airport? Guess we're not going to sleep on Friday:)
