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."

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 14, 2011 at 12:38pm: Hello my name is ******* I am a NavyforMoms addict, it has been 30seconds sence my last hit.....LOL

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 14, 2011 at 12:18pm: I got a call! The same call as some of you got...not a "hey let's chat" but the securtiy questions as well! I am on cloud nine!! I am sad I missed it (didnt talk to him directly) but I had changed my voice mail to a message for him! Now to go on a search for info he needs.

He gave me an email to send the info to...do you guys think they woudl razz him or he would get in trouble if I included a message to him???

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 14, 2011 at 12:17pm: Ok I guess not letters this week.....I can stop stalking the mail person untill next week! LOL!!

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 14, 2011 at 11:51am: Azmo- the PIR date is Thursday the 26th because of the holiday

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 14, 2011 at 11:50am: He needed to know my home address, besides my school address, and he needed to know when I graduate from college so I guess they need to know when I'll be at whatever address. He said to expect a call or whatever sometime in the future, (this background check stuff makes me nervous.) He also got to call him mom after speaking with me, and she said that he passed his swim test (jumping off the high dive) but he didn't pass his first PT test (I guess he missed it by a couple points) but they will have plenty of time to make it up within the next 5 weeks or so! He was a smoker and quit cold turkey when he got to boot camp so I am happy about that but I think some of it might have affected his ability to keep up physically but I'm sure he will be fine if he was close to passing it the first time. He also said that his throat hurt bad and that most everyone felt sick....so hopefully the sickness goes away soon and all our SRs are doing well!

Comment by azmo65 on April 14, 2011 at 11:24am: Can anyone tell me about the PIR change. Is this right. Is it on a Thurs because of the holiday?

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 14, 2011 at 11:20am: Laurelbc an Ria- My son is going into IS and I was told the background checks are extensive!!! Was this the warning call that the men in black suits will be showing up at your door to interigate you? LOL my son loved teasing me about that before he left!! Im aso happy you guys got to talk toyou recruits!!

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 14, 2011 at 11:15am: Congrats ria5! So happy you got to hear from your SR. That is good to know about the mail. I hope this next week is the week they get their mail (and we get ours!) So looking forward to the mail and/or call. I'm sure that made your heart soar!!!! Hopefully it will for all of us also. Let us know if you hear anything else!

Comment by laurelbc 11/180 on April 14, 2011 at 11:08am: Ria, thanks for the update. I heard from my son several days ago for the background check. It does sound like they are hanging in there. Good to know about the mail. I hope they get it out to them soon.

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 14, 2011 at 11:01am: Hiiii all! I just a call from my PR (he said it was for background checks, since he will be going into CTI) but I actually got to talk with him for 12 minutes! Ahhhh it made my day! He said that they haven't been given their mail yet and he won't be able to send out mail until this Sunday since he has been so busy and has been writing a little every night. He also said the first week felt like PRISON but this week has been going by quicker and he is doing better. Just thought I'd share with you all! Hope you get letters/phone calls soon as well!
