Does anyone know why some recruits PIR in black and some in white?

Hi Pirella, the color of the uniform worn at PIR is dependent on what season it is. White is worn from April/May and Black sometime in October.

I am not sure where he works, but I'll find out. I know what you mean about the microwave food it is really messing him up as he is not used to eating such junk.

Hi, so happy to meet you,. This is all new to me. Christy has just finished basic training in Great Lakes Il. She is a Gunners Mate and will be going to school there until June or July. She is my youngest, and just turned 18 in boot camp. She was raised all he life in Sunny Florida and has never seen snow. This will be a great challange for her. I didn't think it would be so hard to be so far away from her. But she says she really loves it. She says she made the right choice. I congradulate your daughter on her achievement, and know you must be a very proud mom. Please keep in touch

I'm not exactly sure, but it seems Tyler is an IT2, the 2 must be a rank, and he uses SW after that, and I think that means Surface Warfare??? On his last deployment to the Persian Gulf, he volunteered (he was on a perfectly safe ship!) to go to afghanistan with the SEALS and set up some communication station. He had to be certified sharpshooter on M16 and Expert on 9mm, after that the SW started appearing after the IT2. Anyway, I find the idea of him being on secret missions w/SEALS all the time to be rather disturbing. I will, however, support him in whatever he wants to do. Yes, its cold here too, could be worse tho.

Hey, how was Thanksgiving day/dinner? It had to be wonderful with Ashley home for the holidays!! How long is she home for? Yes, mom you are going to have to visit Hawaii and BTW, take me with you when you go! lol

One of my biggest regrets is NOT visiting a girlfriend when her and her husband were stationed there for several years and all I had to do was pay air fare back in the days when it was still affordable for the average American (read: the late 80's/early 90's. lol Oh well, maybe one day.... Thanksgiving was very nice and I enjoyed having PJ here with us. Her and her younger brother are a hoot to see them relate to one another and I think she is just as shocked as I am that he is so grown up at 17. We are both excited about his graduation next year. BTW, how is your son doing? Is he still in high school?

Talk to you soon, Sherry

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the welcome! My son, Tyler, is also an IT (2SW) he is on the USS John C. Stennis, stationed in Bremerton, WA. He recently re-enlisted and is putting in his package to be IT support for the SEALS. The pictures of Ashly are wonderful, what a beautiful girl. Once I get my computer at home working again, I will be posting some pics of my sailor, too. So, what part of PA are you from? I live in Montoursville, my hometown, located in central PA, near Williamsport. Hope to hear back from you...Lisa
