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.

I think I would go into the 10/14 group and ask somebody to adopt this SR for the weekend. Betcha somebody would gladly step up. I know I would.

Comment by KathyMmom on October 12, 2011 at 1:52am: Stepmama - if you search through the discussions in th PIR reference information group there is don information about that. I seem to have trouble using my stupid smart phone to copy and paste links. I will check with you tomorrow and past it for you if you can't find it. So sorry they can't make it. Maybe another family will have them join up with them.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 12, 2011 at 12:05am: Are you all finding a group for your Sailor's A School and/or Rating? If not, check out my Discussion, Ratings, A School Locations, and Links to Groups. You have to open the attachment because I didn't know any other way to do it. The link is also in a Page on here. If you can't find a group you need, let me know and I'll see what I can find.

Comment by jbsgirl1417 on October 11, 2011 at 11:51pm: I want to thank everyone here for all the chats and the support in getting through boot camp. I am still trying to recover from my road trip. It took quite a lot out of me but it was so worth it! The ceremony was beautiful! I didn't really take pictures....I was too caught up in it. It took me back to my own PIR and just....I dunno.....it was so different to be watching it ya know. Alison told me that there was this one time that they were in the drill hall and she was sitting in the bleachers for some reason and she told one of her shipmates "I have sat in almost this exact spot before" They didn't believe her of course. She was sitting almost exactly where she sat when she came to my PIR! She was only six but she remembered where my division stood during PIR and where she sat to watch it! I get goose bumps just thinking about it but what an awesome experience! I am so proud of my daughter and all of our Sailors! They have come a long way and changes have occurred but for the better! Thanks again for everything. I truly hope we can continue to chat and encourage each other as our Sailors make it through the world of the United States Navy!

Comment by StepMama on October 11, 2011 at 11:32pm: Sheilamf and Kathy...my stepson is also in Groton. I believe there was a total of 12 of them that went out together. It is great to be able to maintain contact with each other and hear how everyone is doing. Can anyone help me, help another SR's mama. I have a friend who's son has PIR on Friday. Unfortunately, at the last minute nobody will be able to make it to the ceremony. I think I remember reading about a way to purchase some sort of a graduation package that the sailor would receive before or after PIR....did I dream this or is it real? If it's real...does anyone have details on it? Thank you!!

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 11, 2011 at 3:57pm: JoniB - I feel the same way, my son (09 337) is in Meridan, MS. He said his A school for his LS will start next Monday.

Comment by JoniB (Ship 09 Div 331) on October 11, 2011 at 3:54pm: Nuke Mom,

You have been an inspiration to us all. We will support you and your son, as you have continued to support us and ours! Thank you!

Comment by JoniB (Ship 09 Div 331) on October 11, 2011 at 3:52pm: Hi,

I too, would love to stay in touch! There are still many things for us to experience, as our Sailors continue on with their Navy education and lives.

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 11, 2011 at 3:51pm: Nuke Mom - I'm sure I speak for most of us here, we would also like to stay in touch with you to hear how your son is doing and what great things come his way.

Comment by Nuke Mom 11 Ship 3 Div 335 on October 11, 2011 at 3:39pm: I would like to stay in contact with you all even though my son did not graduate. I would greatly appreciate it.
