DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom".

Comment by IowaMOM on February 20, 2012 at 9:43pm: I to need to thank everyone for all the support and information throughout this journey we have taken. PIR was amazing! Our son too was RCPO and is in nuke school. He has made good friends that I hope he has for a lifetime. I have never seen my son so happy. Thank you Navy!

Comment by SmoodysMom on February 20, 2012 at 7:26pm: There were no surprises except for the fact that we shockingly got to spend fri through Monday with our sailor due to the holiday. Since she remained in Great Lakes and the holiday is today we got to spend a lot of time and they allowed us to drive her on base each night. What a treat.

Comment by raeinaz on February 20, 2012 at 1:29pm: diannep you N4Moms veterans have it right on...you walked us through PIR before we got there and I knew exactly what to expect step by step. My head is still spinning from the excitement,emotions and the joy of seeing our Sailor for the first time in 8 long weeks...boy what a change the Navy has made in him....We went to the airport at 1am on Saturday as our Son had a very early 530 flight out and is now in San Antonio waiting to start the next leg of his journey...Thank you again for all you do !!!!!

Comment by diannep on February 20, 2012 at 12:00pm: Ladies, we N4Moms veterans like to make sure our info is correct and up to date. Anything that happened to anyone that was different than info we provided? Please post here as we know things change and want to pass on correct info to the future PIR groups. Thanks!

Comment by GYPY86 on February 20, 2012 at 8:52am: Wow!!!!!!!!! PIR was so amzing.To see all our Sailors march into the hall. So proud my son was part of this amzing group. We enjoyed our time with him.He got to relax and share his experience with us.Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Jimmy's in Lbertyville. It was so difficult to bring him back to base and say bye.We only had one day with him but it was worth every minute.Had some time in Chicago and glad we stopped.He is continuing his journey and we are so proud of him .God Bless all our Sailors.

Comment by SmoodysMom on February 20, 2012 at 2:08am: Oh, before I forget PIR was absolutely wonderful and emotional, my heart raced as they marched in, I noticed my daughter immediately. Also my hotel exceeded my expectations! Absolutely beautiful, and I ordered a wonderful picture pendent in the NEX of her graduation picture. I can now wear this experience for the world to see. Can you tell how proud I am?

Comment by SmoodysMom on February 20, 2012 at 2:01am: I had the best time with my daughter, my has she grown into such a responsible young lady, we shopped till we dropped, ate, got nails done and relaxed. I cried when I left, I am driving on my way to New York with a happy heart. I am grateful to the United States Navy for allowing my daughter to be a part of the best military in the entire world. God Bless all of the sailors!
