I can't say enough about how proud I was during PIR on March 11 at Great Lakes. My little sailor moved on to A School in Mississippi and now is headed home for some much needed R&R...The Navy is going to open some doors for her and I'm grateful. The graduation ceremony was amazing. The Navy does it with all the pomp and circumstance it deserves. 845 other sailors graduated that day.
And, I got some very good information from this site. One I'd like to pass along is to consider staying at the Navy Lodge if you have someone PIR. It's about 1.5 miles from the base, was very clean and the staff was incredibly nice.
It was walking distance although the temps in winter were really cold. Otherwise, a cab ride cost $3...Good luck to all those families and sailors in process now. Be proud at graduation and stay strong.
We support you always.
Bravo Zulu to all.
congrats
