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 motheroftwo (ship 07/div 340) on October 25, 2011 at 9:20pm: Kathy - i love that idea!!!

Comment by Sheilamf #2 PIR10/10/14 Div 318 on October 25, 2011 at 9:10pm: Kathy, I think that is a great idea!

Comment by Nuke Mom 11 Ship 3 Div 335 on October 25, 2011 at 12:31pm: That is great to hear, Enjoy your 2 weeks with her.

Comment by KathyMmom on October 25, 2011 at 12:26pm: I'm so glad you get her for 2 weeks! I know it won't be enough, but please give her a hug from all of us.

One thing I was thinking about, what if, once our sailors are stationed, we start a private discussion/page with addresses or something? I would be happy to gather them up with email addresses of all who would like to participate and email them out in spreadsheets. Then, we could send all of our Sailors in this group holiday/birthday cards, and if there was a particular need for somebody where they are stationed, we could rally up and help if possible.

What do you all think about that idea?

If you like it, I'm thinking you would need to send me the following:

1. Your real email address

2. Your Sailors name/address/birthday/relevant holidays

Don't send just yet - let's get a count of who would participate and just see. I would kind of be like Adopt a Sailor, but just sending a little extra love from our moms along the way. Just a thought.

Comment by Mooselover (GW Mom) on October 25, 2011 at 11:15am: Two and half weeks ago we got to see our Sailors and now in 10 days I get to see mine again. She will be home for roughly 16 days before she heads over to Japan. Those 2 weeks will be the best, but hardest weeks. So proud of all of our Sailors!!!

Comment by lemonelephant on October 22, 2011 at 1:18pm: I'm going to leave this wonderful group now. If you have any questions that I can help with, just ask on my comment wall. It has been my pleasure to be with you on the first leg of your journey. I wish you and yours fair winds and following seas.

Comment by Tammy (Gar's mom) on October 22, 2011 at 10:30am: My son is also doing very well. He started his classes yesterday and loves it. He absolutely loves the California weather and the beauty of the Monterrey area. We talk, text or email daily- so much better than snail-mail at BC. He should be there about 18 months. glad to hear others are doing well.

Comment by KathyMmom on October 21, 2011 at 7:40pm: Agree - fun to have at least a text on a daily basis. But.... I need another hug already! :-) Can't wait until December because will be going to Groton, CT for BESS graduation. He seems to love it there, and even told me that he feels that he definitely made the right decision. Great feeling.

Comment by Yesenia0815 on October 21, 2011 at 4:52pm: Yes, I've been thinking about the excitement we felt to see our new Sailor 2 weeks ago and now they are off to A School. I am very happy I now can to talk to him more often.
