WELCOME to PIR 11/16/2012

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 in your username you will need to change your username. If yours 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 to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2012 at 9:13pm: GSDGirl: They are in training week 3 this week. Probably bootcamp week 4.

Comment by GSDGirl on October 15, 2012 at 8:59pm: Thanks FTLW!!! I'm sorry I was in a bit of a tizzy when I wrote that, in his letter dated Oct. 5th.

I guess it kind of makes sense that it was done today, instead of Friday, because he's only got two more PIR's then he starts performing at PIR. and from what I understand, Saturday's now are all about PIR practice.

One more question. Some of the mom's that got calls tonight said that their SR's said they are on week 3, but by calculations say they should be on week 5 total, and week 4 of actual boot camp, or is that wrong? Oy this is so confusing, guess I shouldn't over think it and just concentrate on Nov 16. lol.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 15, 2012 at 8:55pm: Dental work usually does not set them back. It is done whenever it needs to be from what I understand. I know the day-by- day says W2 D5...and that may be so...but I am sure there are exceptions. Depends on how many need work and timewise.
Not sure what you mean by "the 5th" unless it was for the day of training. If it was there is no guarantee that that would be a Friday.
Don't worry, they will have them catch up from when they are SIQ.
My son was sick all throughout BC, had pneumonia and had two SIQ and one LLD. He also missed a class one day for something and was behind on his run. He graduated on time.
They like to take care of any "potential" dental problems especially wisdom teeth before they go out into the fleet.
So I hope he gets to make that call in a few days!!

Comment by shesabmj(Christian-11/006) on October 15, 2012 at 7:16pm: diannep:Thank you

Comment by GSDGirl on October 15, 2012 at 6:54pm: Ok Veteran Moms, I need help please!!

so my son called last night, for info on if I sent him his ID back, which I did. He said he might get to call tonight or tomorrow night. Well my son's girlfriend just called me and said that one of his friends called her and asked her if she was my SR's girl, she said yes, and he told her that my SR got some teeth pulled and couldn't call but he was ok, and should be able to call in 4 days.

Now SR didn't say anything about this last night, which I know it was just an info call and not a social call, and I thought that they did dental on the 5th and on a Friday since they will get SIQ, which he did, because he told me in a letter that he had a root canal. So now I'm kind of worried!! Will this set him back, why would they pull them now? Or did something else come up and thought it would be best to do now, and since there are only two more PIR's then he starts to perform in PIR's it was better to pull them now instead of friday so he could practice for PIR. Now I am slightly stressed out over this. 901 finally gets to call home and he's in SIQ!!!

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2012 at 6:50pm: shesabmj: Look above and to the right in the PAGES section under the MEMBERS photo box. "Boot Camp Questionnaires."

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 15, 2012 at 6:43pm: kp, the form letter has a password for printing the parking pass not an actual parking pass. Maybe they will give you the password so you can print one for yourself or maybe they will let you ride to the base with them. If you are taking the shuttle you won't need the parking pass. If he stays in great Lakes for A-school the parking pass will be needed to go to the A-school base and pick him up.

Comment by shesabmj(Christian-11/006) on October 15, 2012 at 6:37pm: Does anyone know where the questioneer that we can print and send to our SR is on this site?

Comment by Brittany on October 15, 2012 at 4:33pm: kp125 i am not sure- i am printing one out just in case. Since we will be at the same hotel we can meet and get on the same shuttle.... I am guessing thosee passes are just for cars to get on the base.... the hotel offers the shuttle every graduation for PIR so my guesses is we wont need them. I will have it just in case though ;-)
