ALUMNI OF PIR 11/06/2015 TG 52 - 10 Divisions (369-376, 820 and 952)

((HUGS)) Tamme Billions~~

SMW729,

So glad that The Word spoke to your heart!

Happy Friday!

     "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;

      His greatness no one can fathom."

                                                       Psalm 145:3

Good Morning!  Exciting I'm a Sailor calls expected probably after 2pm Central today.....from.....

369/370/371/372!

Keep those phones close!  Post here when you get the call and be sure to put in your division number!  Congrats!

Will there be other sections in BattleStations tonight?

Div 369 Momma here....phone is attached to me and ringer up as high and loud as it will go!  At work today, we all dressed up for Halloween in the office.  I have already had too much sugar- everyone brought candy in.  I will be a hot mess by this afternoon- I haven't been this hyper in ages!  Just can't wait to talk to my brand new Sailor :)

I am at work, :( do to my job, I cannot leave early.... There is a sit in at my home, I have asked them to audio the call so at least I can hear his voice when I get home. It's down to the wire, I pray every last one of the SR makes it thru... check back later, Catmom thanks, diannep as always....

Tammie Billions...my heart aches. Your post brings tears to my eyes...I can't even imagine being in your shoes or your Son's right now. THere are just no words for how cruel this all has been. 

TraG151, Tammie Billions, Thru motherhood I have learned so many lessons, I always have told my son's there are no failures in life, when you do your best. it's not sometimes getting to the end but how you conduct yourself along the way. Please let your son's know, this is NOT a failure, this is a stepping stone to where they will go in their lives, As I sit here, I am reminding out at young ages our children choose to the hard thing, the right thing. I never had that resolve at the same age... This above all makes me so proud, how could I ever be disapointed, I hope your actions and behavior when you finally are reunited with your son's, is one filled with love with no resentment. Remember they started this journey as every one of us mom's have here, with Honor, Courage and Commitment.  So there is NOTHING to be disappointed in as mom's, at the end of things I would rather my son and myself hold on to these 3, then to create a realm of resentment. Please don't misunderstand my comments, my heart hurts for you, and tears run down my face to know the hurt you feel. I hold steadfast to Granny's words "The world is more than we know, and when the lord shuts a door he opens a window"  I never understood that when I was small, but now I know she meant a window of opportunity...

my grammer bad, I meant to write;

" I am reminded that at an young age our children choose to do the hard thing, the right thing."

The next BattleStations will be on Mon night with the last ones on Tues night.  There will be Captains Cup in the morning for all divisions....fun athletic competition for them!

Remember that BattleStations is an overnight drill....12 hrs.

Tamme......wow.....such mixed messages.  I'm so very sorry....

I thought it was against Navy rules to post anything about Battleships, especially dates. It was the same as posting ship movement??? 

For the veteran members...Is there ever anywhere they post the results of the Captains Cup?

nlove4real,

The Meet & Greet is for all Navy families that have a Sailor graduating the next day~~

Hello All!

     " Let your light so shine before men,

       that they may see your good works

       and glorify Your Father in heaven."

                                         Matthew 5:16

Catsmom awesome Pumpkin's: well got the call, he's made it, I have a Sailor! Prayers out for him Jenn!

I should really say "the Navy has my Sailor now"

It's been blessing this N4M, thank you diannep, Catsmom, ellen0502, Craig and no way on this earth I would have made it this far without you all here giving guidance, information and just being here for me, it means more than you all will ever know, you know in scripture it says that the greatest love is the one who lays down his life for another, Not so sure that was meant just in the literal sense, you all have done so here to help us all, giving your time to help comfort and keeps us crazy worried moms sane.I hold you all in the highest regard, never think that what you do here has a small impact. There is a special place in heaven just for you all! I'm honored and blessed for the gift of you.

Oops FireTeamLeaderwife, you too, are included in this last post as well

Good morning, I know there is live streaming of graduation available but is there also still photos of graduation - more professional than my phone and taken from a better advantage point than in the audience?   Looking for best ways to capture the big event.

To JAK4NAK:

I have seen pictures on the RTC facebook of graduations.  Their pictures look better than mine.  Hope that helps.

TheRocksMom:  What a kind post!  Thank you so very much!  We all love helping you all on here.  It really is US who feel blessed that we can do this.  So glad that we could help and congrats to your new sailor!

TraG;  This PIR group will remain open so PLEASE keep us aware of your son's situation and let us know when he arrives home.

jenn:  I don't think he was given accurate info.  He should be able to try on Monday and again on Wednesday if necessary and if he passes then, he will still be at PIR.  Prayers for him!

SMW:  RTC FB will post the results of Captains Cup either Monday or Tuesday.  You can access that page without being a member of Facebook.  I will post the link in a minute.

Here is the link to the RTC FB page:

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday! 

I was busy all day and then went to serve at our Church's Harvest Festival. Hubby and I went as Batman and Wyldstyle from the LEGO Movie. Haven't dressed up in years! It was a lot of fun!

Hmmm...the new set up of the comment column cuts off embedded videos (grrr). If you click the title of the video it will open up into You Tube.

TheRocksmom - Well, Hooyah...you made me cry! Bless you for such kind thoughtful words. I feel privileged  to be able to be on here and thoroughly enjoy being able to help somehow.

Congrats to you and your new Sailor!

My son called me!!! While I was asleep with ringer off (Dubai is 8 hours ahead); I am HAPPY. My middle daughter (his older sister) told me that he sounds good and is ready for PIR next week. 

Dr. Sport Fitness,

That's great yuur daughter was able to receive your SR's call!  New Navy Mom thing to do:  Always keep your cell phone charged, on, and close by because those Sailors of ours will call us at any time and want to chat~~  seems they forget to consider what time it is at their parents' place!!

No, sorry, sixpark.  They can only call when they have scheduled calls (as a division, and some may have watch or an appt and miss them)....or if they earn a call.  Most likely, your next call will be the I'm a Sailor call.  A great call! 

Good Morning All !  Next I'm a Sailor calls will be Tues afternoon!  Last ones will be Wed. afternoon.
