Congrats to all the new Sailors!!! I can't wait to be in your shoes - waiting on & receiving the "I'm a Sailor" call :)

There is a Meet & Greet at Flanagans on 6/18 from 6-10 pm for PIR 6/19. Everyone is welcome :)

Carl - that is a great call when you get it.

Moms and Dads get anxious, and the new sailors are happy excited - sometimes it takes them a few hours before they make the call.

Congrats to all the new sailors . . . and their families for hangin in there with them . . .

Div. 930 should have finished Battle Stations by now. Has anyone gotten any calls?

Jeff and others -

There normally is a meet and greet event organized by one of the Navy4Moms groups. On June 18, there is one being organized by a
Michelle Z.

Also in the Discussion group above started by Kurt you will find some other dads who have the same PIR date you can connect with.

Flanigans is not fancy, our experience was o.k. If your looking for gourmet food and exotic drinks - its not. It is a chance to meet other families of new sailors, share stories, find some with a sailor going to the same A school, etc.

PIR is a once in a lifetime kind of good event. Pride, tears, joy and seeing your youngster transformed into a pretty focused young adult . . . . enjoy
bring your camera (and a pocketful of tissues)

My son Eric is in DIV 830 their PIR is 6/19. Is there any other parents that would like to meet at Flanigans Thursday night before the PIR? DIV 224-227 & 830-831 & 931 are all graduating 6/19. I have read that many of the PIR parents meet there the night before the graduation. We plan on being there if anyone else is interested see you there. God Bless these young men and women and we pray for their safety and for Gods plan in their life!

Finally got to talk to George. Seems in really good spirits. Passed the final PFA he reports there are a couple guys who have not passed yet. OBTW J.Jameson George and your sons do know each other... and they are friends. Cool.

Thanks Jim. PIR was all that and more. Being at the Midway Memorial bldg (drill hall) on the memorial weekend for the Battle of Midway was extra special. About 25 SAILORS on John's plane to P-cola. I heard from John and he said the retired Chief Petty Officer that happened to be on the flight with them kept them entertained and informed all the way to Atlanta. Just proves the Navy family is one that is close and keeps on giving and growing more successful all the time.
