081207-N-0535P-215 PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (Dec. 7, 2008) Woody Derby, a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor, salutes the names of the deceased at the USS Arizona Memorial during a Prayer for Peace ceremony sponsored by the Japan Religious Committee for World Federation. The prayer ceremony followed a joint U.S. Navy/National Park Service ceremony commemorating the 67th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The theme of this year's historic commemoration, "Pacific War Memories: The Heroic Response to Pearl Harbor," emphasizes the brave efforts of those who fought at sea, on land, and in the air, to turn the tide in the Pacific. More than 2,000 distinguished guests and the general public joined service members, Pearl Harbor survivors and their families and friends for the annual observance.

Welcome to the group Robert...you'll have a great experience at PIR...but take a coat!!! The more you get into the Navy journey with your son, the more you'll doscover that people go out of their way to help our sailors and make them feel comfortable.......I thought I had a novel idea early this year when I sent tons of Girl scout cookies to Eric's carrier and to Kat's carrier in care packages....ends up they literally had pallets of cookies that people had sent.....just a little example of the good will that our troops experience from the folks "back home"..............

My son graduates on Friday 12.4.09, and I am both excited for, and proud of my son for his accomplishment in completeing his Battle Stations excersise. I was not aware of the local adopt a sailor program there in Chicago, and I wish I could thank the family that opened up thier home to my son and five other sailors for the Thanksgiving holiday and served them a home cooked meal. It's nice knowing that someone else cares about our sailors when they have to be away from us.

you've joined the right site for info! Check out the PIR group as there is a ton of info there about PIR and to expect. Also be sure to check out this Must Read in the bootcamp group....it'll give you some idea about what your sailor will learn and why. As always...when you have wuestions or concerns be sure to post them...I'm sure someone here has an answer or can point you in the direction for one.
