PIR Pictures

In the ceremony pictures, Karen is on the front left corner (from her view) of her Division (our right), holding their Division flag. Her best friend from BC is right behind her. Her friend went with us on the train to Chicago on Sunday, which made it even more enjoyable.

DONE!

Battle Stations passed this morning. She's a sailor!

Going to PIR - gotta go!

Almost at the end!!

We got a couple of letters today from Karen. She has passed all of her fitness requirements, all of her inspections, and the gas chamber. She beat her run requirement by 30 seconds, and she got a perfect score on her final personal inspection. All that's left now is Battle Stations, and that started about 10 minutes ago (8:30 on Wednesday night)! I can't believe 8 weeks has gone by so fast, especially when it seemed like the first 4 weeks went so slow!



Karen is just loving the Navy.… Continue

The first two 7/31 PIR Divisions have passed BS.

On 7/31, Divisions 260 through 267 and Div 937 all PIR. The news Liz is getting from Navy for Moms is that Divisions 260 & 261 had Battle Stations last night and finished today. Nobody is really certain, but it's more evidence that the higher Division numbers will do BS next week - Tuesday is the best guess so far.

Battle Stations next week.

Posted on July 23, 2009 at 8:26pm 0 Comments

From everything we've been able to gather, Karen's final test - Battle Stations - will be next week, maybe starting on Monday or Tuesday. Some of the other divisions that PIR on 7/31 with Karen are starting their BS tonight. We're hoping for that "I am now a Sailor" phone call maybe Tuesday or Wednesday of next week! We also learned that she'll be shipping out to Pensacola the week of 8/3, so that means we'll be able to spend the weekend after PIR with her.

CTR training. I don't know what that is. Yeah Mark have you seen the video on Navy Dads home page. Scroll down toward the bottom and click on "My Way Back". It was created by Navydads, a sailor tribute. Your daughter and my son are in it. Pretty cool. Also I was on facebook and seen that my nephew Jeremy was commenting with Karen, so that kinda answered questions if they know one another...........

Yeah I can relate to what Karen is saying. When I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego I really missed the four seasons too. But you're right she nuts to want to go home to 40 degree weather when they're basking in 80 degree weather. Heck I'll trade places with them in a heart beat. lol Your weather sounds like ours here in Spokane WA. Upper 40's to lower 50's for highs and lows mid 30's, and rain. Brandon and my nephew will be coming home mid December when the A2E concludeds. Then back to Pensacola for there "A" School. Brandon is going to Aviation Electronics how about Karen?

Wow somebody commented back. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I've kinda given up hope of any reponses. Haven't been back to this website for awhile. So how is your daughter doing in Pensacola thus far? How she liking school there? She been getting out seeing the area the beaches and things? My son and nephew are living the life. Spending alot of time down on the beach even rented a beach house for one of the weekends. There are 4 total of them that came from Div 941 which graduated 8/28/09 that are in the A2E program. They've been hanging out as a group. So whats your daughters name? I'll see if Brandon has gotten to know her.

Molly was to class up 9/18 but called today to say she started yesterday becasue someone that was scheduled for a rate change did not show up. Her hours are crazy especially due to the holiday weekend, but she is use to it from working at quick trip while going to school. Sort of a mid day to night or evening to 03:00 with special study times as none of the material can leave the compund since it is all either secret or top secret.

By the way Mark, Molly and her whole group were transfered out of the single room barracks about 4 days after they got there, they are all together now with the rest of the division.

Mark, how is Karen doing, Molly is waiting to class up, only a month now. We are leaving first thing in the morning to take her car to her. I wonder if they have met yet?

gee mark.......are you a little proud of Karen or what?!?! Pretty hard to describe PIR unless you've been there isn't it! HooYah! And now on to A-school......

Hi Mark, Molly got to P-Cola yesterday and has been assigned a private room that adjoins to another one with which she shares a head. These room are on a ling wait list but apparently the other room were being remodeled and this was all they had left. She was quite lucky. Her class is scheduled for August 10th but she thinks class may not start for a long time, there are people there that have been waiting 2 months. She said they have Army, airforce and Marines also there and one of the people waiting is a Petty Officer who is changing rates. As always hurry up and wait with the military. Not a bad place to be stuck although they did have to muster at 04:45 this morning for PT, I'm not sure how many days a week that will happen, she hopes to have her address by tomorrow so I can send her computer and cell phone. Good luck this weekend, are you goingn to graduation?
