Alumni of PIR 08/10/2012 TG 39 — 09 Divisions (241–248 & 939)

This is the official group for PIR 08/10/2012 :)  If you have a loved one that is graduating on this day, then this is the place to find out all your information, to talk with other family members of SR's and to plan to celebrate their accomplishments before you know it!

  • What are some great graduation gifts?

    We are going to book our hotel this weekend. I'm not sure where to stay just yet though. Going to go over the choices with my mom and then decide. She was kind enough to offer to pay for our room :) I looked up the Navy lodge and it seems to be all booked up for the days I want. Oh well.
