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."

I don't remember which movie this came from, FTLW? Was that Rudolph in the beginning??
I like these moments of Whimsey!!
FTLW,
Okay, I admit it, I LOVE your new icon!!!
Double-click it to open into Full screen if you can't view all of it.
Enjoy!
Hello Friends,
"I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me."
Psalm 16:8
One other little piece of business.
If you are an IE user and are having problems loading pics or any other settings issues...switch to Chrome or Safari.
This may happen when you try to download your Vehicle Gate Pass as well. If you have trouble switch to another browser. Military websites can be "picky".
***Sidebar on the VGP - never share the password as it is a breach of security and remember to type it in in ALL CAPS.
Please let me know if I have made an error in the ship number of your SRs division.
Your Division Discussions have been posted up above. Please use them to get to know each other even better on a "Divisional" basis...BUT remember that you all have the same PIR date and many of you will be attending the same Meet and Greets...so please continue to post on the Main Wall here.
Also, please continue to post your questions for us "veteran moms" on the Main Wall here. We can have 7-8 active PIR groups going at one time..that's 70-90 Divisions! We try to get to the Division Discussions but with that many it is difficult! We don't want to miss any questions as ALL are important...no dumb ones...for many of you this is your first servicemember and we want to be there to help and lend support.
Division discussions now open for business!!
POST AWAY!!
N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC apply to the Discussion Forum area as well. The Division Discussions are viewable to all...just like the Main Wall here.
Please do not start new division discussions!!!!
The Discussion Forum area is set to show titles only and is set at ten titles at a time for now. (This can be adjusted by the group creator or an administrator)
It is also set to show the "latest activity" (there are other settings). So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" that Discussion to the top. The discussion will stay up there at the top because it has had "activity"…until the next Discussion has activity. If there are over ten discussions, whatever is at the bottom will disappear from view…but not from the Discussion Forum. So, if you want to see more, click "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.
When you view a discussion forum by clicking on the title, the first post ever made will be the first one on the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply” directly underneath that particular Discussion.
~You will also notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.
BTW, this site was intended to take you beyond BC and PIR.
Actually, before BC as well.
Many come on for advise who have family trying to enter the Navy. We have Groups for DEPpers too. Once your Recruit graduates and is a Sailor we have A school Groups and then Groups designed by Rating. There are Groups for Ships and Bases. Also, Officers loved ones connect on here. Then there are specialty Groups like Molly's Adopt a Sailor whose members work very hard to send packages to Soldiers and Sailors.
The EVENTS feature is not just for Sarges M & G but also posts get-togethers in your local area if you want to connect with other moms and support each other.
So, I know it seems like a lot but it was made that way for those that feel the need for more once their loved one was done with Boot.
Hellloooo Veronica!
After all my chatter....
Yes, you are in the right PIR GROUP :-)
Please feel free to ask any questions you like. We're here to help.
