ALUMNI OF PIR 04/04/2014 TG 21 - 11 Divisions (125-134 and 921)

Hello All!

     "The counsel of the Lord stands forever,

      the plans of His heart  to all generations."

                                                Psalm 33:11

Diannep, Can you also send me the date for BS for Ship 03 Div. 128 please?  Appreciate your time.

Hi everyone, I am so so sorry I have been MIA. So many things going on. First we have had our Sailors home on leave for 3 weeks before they move to CA. Then we went on vacation and the first day in FL my hubby and I both got really sick so it wasn't much of a vacation at all. We went to the beach once for a couple hours, out to eat twice, and then went in a couple stores at the Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs yesterday before it started raining. Besides all that my computer would not log on to the internet at all the whole time we were in FL. I had the WiFi password but it refused to work. So all I had was my phone and I can't navigate this site with my phone at all. We came back home to NC today and now it is snowing like crazy lol. I think Mother Nature is a wee bit confused and I know my poor flowers are. The good news is I am in the process of ordering a new laptop (trying to decide which one to get, looking at a DELL) and that should mean I will be able to get on this site without my computer locking up and having to be shutdown :) I hope you all are doing well. PIR is getting closer and closer every day and I know that excites you as much if not more than my new computer excites me lol.

For those who believe in the power of prayer could you please keep my Sailor/son-in-law's family in your prayers. His cousin and three of his 4 children are missing in the mudslide in WA. He was with the kids while his wife was at work when the mudslide took away their home. Their 4 year old was rescued and taken to the hospital and reunited with his mom. There are so many people missing and many families waiting for news. I am sure they can use all the prayers they can get. Thanks so much, we appreciate all of you very much <3

Right now No News is good news... I know that part....but the prayer chains are all welcome!!!!

Lala,

Thanks for your update!  Missed you!!  Will you be able to save the important files you want on your old computer and put them on your new one?  Or is there a safe way to do it because you don't know what exactly has been affecting it?

Sighhh, so sorry to hear of your son-in-law's family and praying for the situation for all~~

I will CatMom, I got some CD's and I am saving all my pics and documents. The computer I ordered has "LIFETIME" antivirus whooohooo, not taking any more chances with that. Thanks so much for the prayers. 

Good morning Navy Family, Happy HuMp DaY!!!

If your Sailor will fly out to a new base on PIR weekend and you plan to meet them at the airport you should mail this info on an index card to your recruit.  Once they get their itinerary they should fill it out and then keep it to give it to you at PIR. They won't have this info in time to mail it back to you. When they go back to their ship and rack to check out remind them to get this. This will keep you from ending up at the wrong airport. :)

Please fill this out when you get your flight itinerary/orders and then give it to us at PIR. Do not mail it.

Got a letter today...SR says she really doesn't miss her phone, just music and driving...lol welcome to our world before cell phones.

Any suggestions....toll route or avoid tolls going to RTC from OH. 

Good Morning, Friends~~

     "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

      the people He has chosen as his own inheritance."

                                                                 Psalm 33:12

LaLa - sorry to hear about your missing (extended) family members.  I will keep them in my prayers.

Did I see a comment earlier about someone "adopting" a extra sailor for Liberty after PIR?  Is this possible?  If so, what do we need to do to sign up? 

girl chief:  If a family cannot make it to PIR, another family on here could tell their own sailor that they want to adopt that sailor---it is easier to adopt a sailor in your own sailor's division since your sailors should know each other, so post in your division group above as well.  You can ask your sailor in a letter (mail it quickly!) about this and maybe during the I'm a Sailor call, your sailor will have a name for you of a shipmate to join you after PIR.

Seems that we lost some sailors in the tragic WA state mudslide.  Prayers are with their families and also Lala's for her connection to the tragedy:

Thank you diannep for the msg regarding BS. appreciate it.

You're welcome, aznavymom.

Will friend request you the info, HollySue.

Good Morning!

Good Morning Friends!

     "But when the kindness and the love of God

       our Savior toward man appeared, not by

       works of righteousness which we have done,

       but according to His mercy He saved us, 

       through the washing of regeneration and

       renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out

       on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior."

                                                                  Titus 3:4-6

Morning, next week at this time we will be traveling for PIR. The emotions and anxiety are growing.

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live.

Greg Anderson

Thanks diannep! I ask her in today's letter.

Natalia:  Look at your personal page on here, top left...under "friends" (which is under your name).  You should see that you have a "request" which I sent a few days ago when you asked for BattleStations info.  Click on it and read the info....don't hit accept or the info disappears.  Let me know if you need more info after that!

Did anyone receive a call yet from their son/daughter?

How many Moms have SRs headed to Meridian, MS for A school?

my daughter is going to meridian ms

Good Morning!

Hoping that I'm a Sailor calls will be received after 2pm Central today from Div 125-128.  Keep those phones close!

Please post your division on here when you get the call so others know when to expect their call. If your new sailor has "watch," know that they may not be able to call with their division, but will later.  Also, be checking FB accounts since your new sailors may get on that before the phones.

tammy/hoosiermamma: My son went to A School in Meridian also, over 4 yrs ago.  He liked it there...of course, they usually really enjoy A School since they have been cooped up so long in Bootcamp.  They phase up to more freedoms now and are back in touch with family/friends which is huge! 

Natalia:  Your info is in my post below!

splachte:  Very doubtful, if not impossible, for him to attend his friend's PIR.  Just isn't allowed.  You can try and "pull strings" like he probably wants you to do, but don't think it will work.  Remember, a new rule change from about a year ago now makes all active duty and retired military a part of someone's guest list if they want to attend.  Prior to that, active duty/retired military were welcome at all PIRs on their own.  So....lots of restrictions on how can be at PIR.  I have never heard of a SR being allowed at another's PIR....never say never, but just sayin'.....

I'm so sorry that they didn't make it into the same PIR group....I know that must be disappointing....

*who...not...how

Morning we are now the senior pir group....yippee..looks like mostly sunny next friday but still not warm.

Happy Friday!!

     "I will give You thanks in the great assembly;

      among throngs of people I will praise You."

                                                     Psalm 35:18

Received my call at 2:01 Central time.  My son is in Div 126.  He said tired but fine.  All who started made it through but the entire division didn't start the process.  Early bed night.  One more week!!

on the phone with my daughter... all but one guy passed

Karen, what does that mean? All of 126 didn't participate?

127 went through last night.. will be calling soon

My son told me a few kids had problems this past week so they weren't ready to participate.  I think you'd know if your son/daughter was one of them.  Almost the entire division (126) started Battle stations last night and all of the recruits who started in my son's division were successful.
