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."

Hi Kat Q, i found the info from the countdown to 10-1-10 PIR site. I will look again and get more info for you. the mom who is doing this is LaLa Ribbon queen and the ribbons are Navy with silver stars, I believe. I am so happy to be hearing from others moms. I believe we are brother divisions. Keep in touch. Got a second letter from my boy. He sound ok but didn't answer any of my mental questions. there is also a site that you can download questions for your sailor. I did and mailed it to him. Hopefully he can get enough energy to Circle the answers. got to go, family wanted breakfast. I should send them all to bootcamp.
Eileen, how are you doing? I got a 2nd letter from Jay. He said he cut his finger while shaving and missed the dive but is going to do the makeup for it soon. Also said that he is still on the 10-1 PIR . He says he will always remember the shipmates from boot. take care and will keep in touch.
sailorjay, I am doing okay. Sorry to hear about your son's finger. No stitches or anything? Hope not. DJ's second letter just sounded so heartbreaking, but I have to think positive as I hope he is. I really can't believe how quickly the time is going. Just 31 days left! As far as we know he is still on the 10-1 PIR. I hope we get to meet. That would just be awesome!! Have a great day and take care!! Hoping for a phone call or letter soon!! :)
My daughter is in Ship 10 Div 332 as well.
Welcome aboard. When is her PIR date? My son is 10-1-10. I am also from Buffalo, New York
Sailorjay here is the link to your PIR gorup just click on the http address http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir10110
thanks JessicaB.


trying to add a picture, hold this works. Sailor who knows how to do this is in Great Lakes, boy do I miss asking the "dorky" questions. Hey, my generation is not computer whiz kids.
Got a letter today. He sent one to me and one to his dad. He sounds so frustrated and wants to come home, but realizes he just can't do that. He doesn't think he can do it any more even though he was made a leader of his section which is pretty good from what I've heard. I wrote him back with some encouraging words telling him how proud we are and that this is his time to take care of him and not worry about us and his friends. Still no phone calls, but maybe we will get more letters next week. Sure do miss him!! 35 days left til PIR!!!!
Just so you know. I have been staying just with the PIR 10-1-10 group. But from time to time I do check this site. the time is flying by for me, I hope it is for the boys/girls.
