Welcome to all Anticipating PIR 10/7/2011!!

This group is for those with loved ones who had PIR on 10/07/2011. (PIR is short for Pass-in-Review and just means graduate from Boot Camp.)

It was an amazing ceremony, an amazing opportunity to see our Sailors perform and participate as an entire group, amazing to hear that wonderful Liberty call and completely overwhelming to get those long awaited hugs.

It is our desire that this Group will provide the information, encouragement, and support you need while your loved one continues their Navy Journey. We are hoping you will continue to come back and update everyone on that journey and continue to seek support and encouragement from friends you have already made here.

Enjoy your time here and feel free to Comment and join in the Discussions. Be sure to check out the information in the "Pages" section to the right. This is information that will be of interest to all Members. (You will need to click on "View All" to see all of them.)

Please review the Community Guidelines and keep OPSEC in mind when you post. If you would not want an enemy to know something, then do not post it here because this is NOT a secure site and the enemy lurks. Please do not post your Sailor's last name and NEVER his/her full name. Also do not use your full name, especially if your last name is the same as your Sailor's. If your Sailor provides specific information about events that will occur, please keep that to yourself and do not post the day/time on here since this information may be sensitive and is not to be shared.

Comment by Denise - browns57 on November 15, 2011 at 4:55pm: My son got his orders yesterday afternoon & is headed for a Frigate in San Diego. He should finish A school this week and graduate on Friday if all goes the way it should. He said he won't know until the day before if he get to flly home. I'm hoping he makes it by Thanksgiving since he will miss Christmas. I hope veryone is doing well along with their Sailors.

Comment by Tammy (Gar's mom) on November 2, 2011 at 5:48am: My son has been at the Defence Language Institute at Monterey since Oct 8. He was not supposed to start his new language until Nov 15, but they decided to start him in a different kind of class earlier. He says it is "insanely" difficult, but he has always been one to love a challenge. It seems that I communicate with him in one way or another every day. Sometimes it is just texts throughout the day, or e-mail when he can, but after going through basic, it is just great to be able to communicate. He booked his ticket home after getting the ok. I thought it would be cheaper to go through the Navy to get his flight, but he didn't think so. He phased up last week and can leave base throughout the day. I'm not sure when he phases up again to be able to leave overnight. He said he has some work to do before he can get the 2nd phase up, but with 7-8 hours of classes daily, then 4-5 hours of homework on top of PT and watches, there has not been much time for that or for going out.

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 31, 2011 at 4:15pm: @ Tammy - what is your son studying that he will be in A school so long. It's great news that he will be home for Christmas & that he had phased up. My son phased up the day he received some clothes he had requested. I said good timing. The next thing I knew he had taken a picture of himself in his own t-shirt & shorts while on liberty in his pod. My son hasn't called me much, not really a phone talker, at least not to mom. He does text me when he can & a week ago Sunday we got to skype with him for the first time.

Comment by Tammy (Gar's mom) on October 31, 2011 at 12:14pm: My son phased up last week and is really enjoying military life at Monterrey. That's a good thing because he should be there for about a year and a half. He started classes last week. He sent me a picture of his stack of books. It was over 2 feet tall and he said he thinks those will only get him through about 6 months. He says his classes are intense but he loves it. He got his tickets to come home for Christmas --dec 15-28. I can't wait to get him home.

Comment by Mary...Brittsmom on October 31, 2011 at 10:16am: @momofbp...I know how you feel, my daughter really does not like to talk on the phone much. She is in San Antonio and has started classes so very busy and not a lot of time to even text. She is really liking the military life. She phased up a couple weeks ago and has been able to go off base on the weekends which has been nice for her. Hope your son starts classes soon and that you will get to spend Christmas with him.

Comment by Tammy (Gar's mom) on October 27, 2011 at 5:35am: Kathy, count me in.

Comment by Gina (Ship 09/ Div 331) on October 27, 2011 at 12:27am: That's a wonderful idea!!

Comment by JoniB (Ship 09 Div 331) on October 26, 2011 at 9:19pm: I also think it is a fantastic idea! Our sailors deserve to know how proud we all are!

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 26, 2011 at 2:09pm: Kathy - Great idea!
