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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 4, 2011 at 8:26pm: lemonelephant - You have a wonderful time with your son too! Blessings to him!

Comment by lemonelephant on September 4, 2011 at 2:58pm: Lala, thanks for sharing the pics. They are a lovely couple. Prayers for them that they heal from their bumps and bruises and that things work out after the accident, but mostly that they have a long and blessed marriage.

BQB, enjoy your time with your Sailor. Mine gets in Tuesday night and I think we have him for 3 weeks.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 4, 2011 at 2:22pm: Oh...makeup. Waterproof mascara and Revlon Once Bitten lipstain/ lip balm...it's "kissable!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 4, 2011 at 2:09pm: LaLa...That pic brought tears to my eyes...how beautiful. Thank you. What a lovely couple.
Definitely will keep them in my prayers. Glad no one was seriuosly injured.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 4, 2011 at 2:06pm: Bunker, having just had a hubby come home from 6 months...I'm there with ya girl(I'm old I just like to think I can talk young!). Have blessed incredible fantastic time with your son...and thank him from another N4M.

Comment by BunkerQB on September 4, 2011 at 1:28pm: pass on (haven't had my coffee yet & am a terrible speller)

Comment by BunkerQB on September 4, 2011 at 12:32pm: Ahh ladies. My sailor is almost at the end of his journey - I guess I am at the end of the journey too. It's been my pleasure to share and past on my experience and knowledge - what good is it to keep to myself? I am old enough to be a mom to many of you - remember that when I say something terribly old fashioned with a delivery somewhat stiff. I should say, thank you for letting me relive the joy of graduation w you all. Oh --- the tears - my makeup - could barely operate the camera!

Lala Ribbon - what a beautiful couple!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 4, 2011 at 11:20am: I promised to post pics so here you are lol. My daughter's wedding was beautiful. I am waiting on the good pics from the photographer but I will add a couple that I took to this message. Right after the wedding she and her husband were in a car accident and totaled their vehicle. They are both fine, only a few bruises and the lady who hit them was taken to the hospital and released but she is going to be fine too. Please keep them all in your prayers. We are off now to try and help them get a rental car because they have to go back to VA tomorrow. Thanks everyone, all my friends on this site mean the world to me :-)

Comment by Nuke Mom 11 Ship 3 Div 335 on September 4, 2011 at 10:37am: I totally agree with KathyMmom, We do thank you for all your insight and also enjoy that time with your son. Your commitment to this site is very much apprciated. TY. :-) <3

Comment by KathyMmom on September 4, 2011 at 9:50am: FTLW - seriously fantastic info. I'm so excited to see the sunshine under that door! Appreciate the support all those who have already experienced are providing.

BQB - my prayer is for you today. I know you will enjoy every precious second with your Sailor. We are crying because we haven't seen our SRs for a few weeks and yet, here you are providing encouragement to us when you have been missing yours for months. You, Diane, FTLW, lemonelephant, and more - thank you so much for the service of your Sailors and the sacrifices of your families. Pretty soon we will be at PIR and we will be celebrating. But today and for the next 13 days, I'm celebrating your reunion. That made my day even better today. Thanks for sharing.
