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."

Welcome to PIR 01/27/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never 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 discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by diannep on January 10, 2012 at 6:40pm: PatricksMom: I agree with NavyMom. If you didn't receive a call from him today, you should call The PAO tomorrow and ask them about that--didn't you already call them and they said he should call you today? When they are asmoed, they are supposed to call you right away. I got the call the day my son was moved, and then another one the day he moved back into another division with his new division info---both scripted calls with Navy personnel present.

Comment by diannep on January 10, 2012 at 6:36pm: Cari: The other mom going through this with PatricksMom is actually MSmom. They both have joined this PIR group from the same PIR group after their SRs were asmoed. My son was asmoed too...but over 2 yrs ago...so I know the feeling. I know it is so disappointing for the SRs and the moms at first...but having traveled this road myself, I know there is light and hope coming for them! Mine has now been a sailor for almost 2 yrs...I'm just a N4Moms veteran on here to help!

Your message was very kind! Thanks!

Comment by Patrick's Mom on January 10, 2012 at 5:58pm: Thanks Navy Mom. I may do that if we don't receive a letter by week's end.

Comment by Navy Mom Ship 3, Div 047 on January 10, 2012 at 5:48pm: Patrick's Mom: Perhaps you might want to call RTC Public affairs office at 847-688-2405 and see if they can give you any info

Comment by Patrick's Mom on January 10, 2012 at 5:09pm: Thanks so much CariD. 1/27 is the division he was set to graduate with, but it's looking now like it may be 2/10. Until we hear from him (hopefully via letter this week), we really don't know anything for sure.

Comment by CariD(ship 12 Div 050) on January 10, 2012 at 5:01pm: To diannep and Patrick'smom, So sorry to hear about the set-back. I feel for both of you and your SR's. I wish them much luck and I hope their new divisions will embrace them. Hugs and Prayers to you both... Patrick's mom, Welcome to the 01/27/2011 community:) DianneP you will always be a part of this community and hopefully the next one as well:)

Comment by Patrick's Mom on January 10, 2012 at 4:30pm: diannep, thank you so much for your positive and encouraging message. It helps immensely right now.

Comment by diannep on January 10, 2012 at 4:24pm: Welcome both PatricksMom and MSmom. You will be embraced here by these wonderful ladies...and lifted as your SRs get through this and onto PIR. Know that this happens to many...and they are going to get through it. A bump in the road...

You will see them in those handsome navy blue uniforms before you know it!

Comment by Patrick's Mom on January 10, 2012 at 3:07pm: My heart goes out to you MSmom. I hope you hear from your son very soon.

My son was supposed to PIR 1/27, but we received a voicemail on Friday (while we were in California for my husband's mom's funeral), that he's been set back two weeks. We just returned home late last night, and I got the vmail this morning. We know nothing other than that, and the not knowing is terrible. I'm just praying he's physically okay. I'm sure no matter what the reason, he must be so disappointed not to be graduating with the SR's he's trained with since he's been there. My heart is just breaking for him, and while I can do nothing to help him at the moment, I can lift him in prayer. Very thankful to be able to do that.

Comment by MSmom on January 10, 2012 at 2:38pm: Hi everyone. I am just joining this group. My son was scheduled to graduate on the thirteenth. His division did battlestations Sunday night. While everyone was getting their I am a sailor call I was anxiously waiting mine. That call never came. I was worried so I called rtc and they told me his graduation date had changed. I still do not know why. He needs to hurry up and call now. I am so worried
