Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never 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 discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 12, 2011 at 10:50pm: Make sure you go to both M&G's "events" on here and read the details to see which one interests you. Ramada ends at 8 and Sarge's at 10. Sarge does offer some perks. It might be late for some and then maybe all that running around will poop you out so you can get some sleep!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 12, 2011 at 10:47pm: Yeah...guess that's how it's going to be...since it's stand down.

I was thinking more of the GL A Schoolers, as those that fly out only get the one day really. But since the rule is that you can't combine liberty with leave it makes sense...they can't have liberty and then roll into leave that Monday...leave would have to start Friday.

But then as Betsy said...who knows!

My husband was activated last year (this month actually). He went for training before he left the country. There was a week lag time at the end of training and their fly out date to Iraq...Christmas was in that week..."rule" is that you have to have 10 days in between in order to come home...so they would've sat in hotel rooms for Christmas. They scrambled, found out they could get it approved to come home WHILE they were at training...and did! We had two Cheristmas' last year. The first one, before he left for training, we surprised him with a decorated tree and his fave foods.

My head hurts trying to figure it all out. Your recruits are going to be advised and it will be best to take your cues from them. They will have to make the decision about what they want to do.

Thank you ilovemysailor!

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 12, 2011 at 9:12pm: Planning on going to the one at the ramada. That is where we are staying. The least we have to drive around the better. Not a big fan of any nasty weather so just gonna make it as easy as possible

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 12, 2011 at 9:05pm: Okay 09/021 - two quick questions - which MEET & GREET are y'all attending...Sarges or Ramada? Anyone secured reservations? If so, where? We are staying at the Marriott Residence Inn. Anyone else? You can respond above - Ship 09 Div 021!

Comment by ilovemysailor 009/021 on November 12, 2011 at 7:47pm: Well they didn't really answer my question to be honest, but they said this

"They all must depart RTC on the 29th and yes, they will go in the hole with leave time if they take more than what they have earned so far. "

I'm getting the impression that they have liberty right after, but have to check out and be out by 4:00pm on the 29th. Maybe they can have liberty right after until whenever, but have to go back and check out at some point before 4:00 that day.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 12, 2011 at 7:42pm: Thank you!

Comment by ilovemysailor 009/021 on November 12, 2011 at 6:28pm: @FTLW

I asked that question on fb to RTC, I'll let you know when and if they respond :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 12, 2011 at 6:10pm: I'm pretty sure that my son's leave chit began on the day of PIR, but he was coming home. Those were who were staying at GL's (now, of course this was last year) were still allowed liberty but were due back to base at 8 or 9p.m. But, of course, they could decide something totally different this year, who knows?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 12, 2011 at 5:53pm: I was beginning to think the same thing Ruth!
I owe you a post BTW!

Comment by RuthL on November 12, 2011 at 5:41pm: FireTeamLeaderWife-The more information I get, the more confused I am. I am guessing that our Recruits will know their options and need to make the decision. Leave/Libery/None of the above. Giving up control my two cents on decisions is not easy thing on my end.
