OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on June 1, 2012 at 7:13am: Good morning all! 4 Friday's left!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 1, 2012 at 7:03am: Just wondering Mom of 11 do you have 11 kids? And if so Oh My Goodness :-)

Comment by diannep on May 31, 2012 at 10:13pm: Thanks for posting here, mom of 11, in addition to the div discussion group. We don't have time to pick up all of the questions in the discussions so posting in both places is a good idea~ Goodnight all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 31, 2012 at 9:52pm: You guys are awesome, thanks so much for the posts. The Ricky Crud sure does get around to everyone. I hope they are all feeling better soon. The confidence chamber (gas chamber) usually clears out all the sinuses and makes them actually feel better. Something to look forward to.... I think lol

mareluc, I bet he is feeling better already, I know this is about the time that everything starts turning around for them and they can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you get a nice long letter very soon ;-) Better keep a note pad by the phone with questions ready lol.

Comment by mom of 11 ship 04 div 814 on May 31, 2012 at 9:42pm: We received our first phone call yesterday also. My son said everyone was sick but he sounded upbeat. He said he too has a great deal of respect for the RDS's. He said they are very fair and reward them when they do a great job. Free time and Pizza Hut or Taco Bell. He also mentioned the workouts are tough for SPECOPS and he hasn't lost momentum since he went to boot camp. I have read in the past the biggest complaint coming from the 800 Div is the lack of tough workouts and they have to get in shape all over again for dive school. I had a bunch of questions for him but was soooo excited to see that 847 area code all my questions were forgotten. It is good to hear from some other parents with sons in 814

Comment by mom of 11 ship 04 div 814 on May 31, 2012 at 9:39pm: We are posting on the ship 0div 814 discussion thread. I will post here also.

Comment by DanaVann (SHIP II Div 195) on May 31, 2012 at 9:24pm: I got a letter from my SR today. He said Hell week starts 0300 on Thursday. So we know they are strong (we raised them), lets just pray that all stay safe. This is another step closer to PIR. Ladies have a great night. For the ones that haven't gotten mail or a call, it is coming soon. I sti haven't got a call. My SR miss his call due to a dental appt.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 31, 2012 at 9:23pm: Lala - I am guilty of neglecting this page. Every time I sign into N4M's from work my computer crashes......don't know why. I will try to sign in every night to say hello to everyone.

No news from my SR. Hopefully he will write soon or at least to his gf and she will share his news. He didn't sound good last week when he called home - very homesick and down. Plus he was in pain from wisdom teeth. I am hoping he is now on upswing so waiting patiently to hear from him!!! Hope everyone is having good phone calls and great letters!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 31, 2012 at 9:08pm: I know this may sound like a crazy request but It would be great if some of you would check this page daily and comment about news from your soon to be Sailors. We have moms on this group and others who are not comfortable on computers yet and for some of them this is their first experience with any social network. Lots of them don't have facebook and they come here for info. Many have never posted a comment and may never do so. but they do appreciate all the news you share and would love to get to know some of you. I think if there was more activity on the PIR group pages they may come out of hiding and share their news as well. You would be surprised at how many emails I have received from members who are out there looking for some encouragement and new friends. Thanks so much for those who do post comments here. I know this site is how I survived the weeks my daughter was at boot camp and I still love and appreciate all the friends I made on Navy for Moms; it is near and dear to my heart <3

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 31, 2012 at 4:05pm: I am so happy to see so many getting calls. Today should also be a great day for letters :-)
