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 ArNavyMom on November 7, 2011 at 2:22pm: @ Veteran Mom's/Wife - my son's gf joined to be a member on this site yesterday. She still has not been "approved". Is there somewhere or someone we can check status? Her member name is "Navygirlfriend12". THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Comment by Rosalinda(MAA MAMA) on November 7, 2011 at 2:13pm: Hello ladies just got my nephews #'s he is Ship 09 DIV 023 hope to get to meet more from this group, and i currently also have a son stationed in WA he is MAA..

Comment by ilovemysailor 009/021 on November 7, 2011 at 1:49pm: I have a question about the bank accounts SRs set up while at bootcamp. If they did not have an account with any bank before they went, i assume they will set one up correct? Will they be given a debit card or anything of the like? or is the money just put into an account while they are there and they have to order card when they get out?

Thank you for any info :)

Comment by Michelle02 on November 7, 2011 at 12:20pm: Talked to a nice man Bob at the photo lab, they cannot be pre-paid, but our sons are able to purchase them with there $ card, he suggested that we let them know now what you want to order the prices are still the same $140 for pkg A DVD $29.or you can pay for them after graduation, he said easier to have them take care of it before though.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 7, 2011 at 11:48am: Good Morning everyone, Beautiful prayer ArNavyMom :-)

I will be in and out today. I am busy working on ribbon orders and my oldest son is home for a couple of days from Charlotte and he and I are finally going to install my back splash in the kitchen. I am so luck to have a son with so many talents. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is starting to adjust to the new time. It it great in the mornings but I get so sleepy in the evenings way before bedtime lol. Have a great day :-)

Comment by Batmansmom531 on November 7, 2011 at 9:48am: Such wonderful, faithful, loving moms... Your words provide comfort to me. My son turned 20 and was gone 6 days later. He was the chauffer for my husband when he was too sick to drive (his dad has a traumatic brain injury from an accident) he helped his 6 year old brother with homework and read to his 2 year old nephew who lovingly calls him "toe" instead of tio (spanish for uncle) I pray that our Lord covers them and shields them from the many evils.

As for pictures---our SRs will be given the opportunity to purchase them as well as the video around week 5 I was told. They should pick package A its the best package for the $$. That way they will have them for graduation, if we order them it can take 2-4weeks. The photos will make nice post holiday gifts !

Comment by diannep on November 7, 2011 at 9:08am: Wonderful, ArNavyMom. Pray for protection for them too...not just worldly protection, but spiritual protection from a world that can be so evil and attacking on them. My son just told me a few days ago that he bets he has only met about 7 Chrisitans since being stationed 1.5 years. I told him it is more likely that others are Christians, but aren't speaking out about their faith because society tells them it is "uncool" to be a Christian in this "fallen" times. May the Lord strengthen our children in their faith, and may they be living examples of the Lord's love for each of them...a witness to those around them!

Batmansmom: It is so hard to know to feel their absence especially at holiday time (my sailor has missed 2 Thanksgivings, but I'm joining him in VA this year)...the empty chair is hard. But...to know that they are moving on in a good way, with a military job, being mentored, growing up, learning...albeit away from home...might help a little. I know it is especially hard on those of you whose SRs are very young. Mine was 23 when he left and had lived away from home before, so it wasn't as traumatic. Still --he had moved back home for 10 mos while in DEP before leaving...and was around alot. So I had gotten used to that...even though sometimes we were at each other's throats! Too much free time for anyone is not a good thing! HA!

Praying for comfort for those this holiday season who are missing their SRs!

Good morning, all!

Comment by Michelle02 on November 7, 2011 at 9:05am: Does anyone have any info on graduation pictures? Can we pre-pay for them now, I can't seem to find out. I don't want to really send my son a check. guess I will have to call them
