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."

Sonia:  Yes they will play for their own PIR.  I asked my son about marching in and he told me they do not march in with the band.  I don't know if he was talking about their PIR or the two PIRs they perform in before theirs.  It would be wonderful to see them march in with the rest but at this point, I don't care HOW I see him just as long as I get to SEE him!!!!!  I'll let you know if I find out anything different.

Thank you lnovell011/180 for the facebook link.  I am trying to figure out how to save this so I can get back to it later.  I found my SR's old graduating group 4/8/2011 and saw some of the Sailors.  That was neat.  I will save that photo to show my SR.  :)

Thanks fireteamleaderwife- I am so glad you love the ribbons and the Scrapbook Sailors. I love all the Sailors too, it is so fun making each one to look like someone's Sailor. I have even done them with freckles lol. It is definitely time to start scrapbooking. I added more scrapbook embellishments to my facebook page you should check those out. Unique Memory Makers, have a great time at PIR and thanks for allowing me to make your ribbons for such a special occasion :-)

Lala - Thank You, got them on Friday! RIbbon is bea-u-ti-ful! The flag you added for my husband makes it even more special. I love the scrapbook Sailors! I don't scrapbook yet, but certainly have a lot of reasons to start this year!

I just wish that everyone was able to see their SR.  That way we could all be happy together.
