DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

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 4:35pm: So, here's my question:

According to the below:

Holiday leave for Training Group 6 (those graduating Dec. 29) will begin at 1600 (4 p.m.) Dec. 29 and expire at 2359 (11:59 p.m.) Jan. 8. All recruits will depart RTC that same day, whether they are staying at Great Lakes or going out of state for A School.

What about Liberty for 12/29...have they lost it because of the hoilday stand down?

If someone is on RTC FB...here is the direct link to this thread...could you ask about Liberty?

Or maybe Craig knows.

Comment by diannep on November 12, 2011 at 11:28am: Anyone driving to PIR and wanting to bring the family pet to reunite with your sailor, the Residence Inn Waukegan is PET FRIENDLY.

Comment by diannep on November 12, 2011 at 11:19am: By the way, Craig certainly is a wealth of info. Being retired Navy and having a son and nephew in now, he has both "old school" and current info. He is an activie participant on N4Moms and has DEP groups that he works with.

Good morning everyone! Have a wonderful weekend. It is a fantastic mid-60's here in S. FL. Beautiful.

Comment by diannep on November 12, 2011 at 11:17am: Ruth: I had the same experience with my son when he was there. He started to say "love you" again...hadn't said that since a child...teenage years kind of messed him up on that! Then he said: Mom, I hope you know how much I appreciate all you have done for me in my life, etc." I swear, if I hadn't heard him say this in HIS voice, I would have thought someone had the wrong number! Don't get me wrong he was always a child who said "thank you" for things...but not for the "stress" he would cause me at times! UGH! I remember getting tears in my eyes as I heard these words as he was in bootcamp. That is one of the pluses of bootcamp! Most of them truly start to appreciate all that they had taken for granted for so long...because it is all taken from them temporarily and they finally realize how much it all meant to them!

Comment by RuthL on November 11, 2011 at 11:02pm: Craig- Thanks for making this the best Veteran's Day ever. We have been using your info all week, had trivia contests, and because you posting are so well written and fun, the kids were really into it. I am waiting for the book! Dont know where you are from, but if you are ever in NE PA, you are more than welcome to stop by my classroom!

Comment by RuthL on November 11, 2011 at 10:20pm: Thanks guys. Am am very blessed. I was more than shocked today. She wrote in her card all the things I have been waiting to hear for 19 years. I just got back from dinner with my oldest daughter. God has given us two great children. My poor husband has to really step it up tomorrow.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 11, 2011 at 8:52pm: Happy Birthday Ruth, what a sweet daughter you have and to be thinking of that before she left that is truly heartwarming. I love it when recruits think ahead. It makes me know our country is in good hands :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 11, 2011 at 5:53pm: Ruth, wow! That is so beautiful. How sweet!

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2011 at 5:41pm: Ruth: sigh...how beautiful and special that she had them put in your special pottery...what a wonderful girl she must be!
