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 BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) on December 13, 2011 at 7:03pm: anitamt73 (Ship 07 Div 051) yep so help to know we're not alone. Sorry that you had difficult time going to the birthday BBQ. I too know how hard that can be...my daughter's best friend is close to me as well so its hard to talk to because of how close all 3 of us are/were. It helps sometimes to let her know how I'm feeling but other times not because she'll say something that my daughter would say so...errr its up & down. Also doesn't help that its a gloomy rainy day in my part of AZ.

Just checked mail no letter :( waiting on another because I'm wearing the 1st out..LOL.

Comment by AnitaT (Ship 07 Div 051) on December 13, 2011 at 6:33pm: For some reasons I can comment here but my phone won't let me reply to any of the "discussions". So frustrating! There's a couple I was going to comment on but will have to wait until I'm on my laptop. :(

Comment by AnitaT (Ship 07 Div 051) on December 13, 2011 at 6:20pm: BDee76, you wrote everything I've been thinking today! There's nothing I can add. Last night went to a friends house for a birthday BBQ (very cold). The birthday girls son was there & he's grown up with my son, they look alike, act alike, etc. It was a lot harder to see him than I'd prepared for! Hard day here as well but the count down is on!! :)

Comment by BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) on December 13, 2011 at 6:11pm: Navywife11,

I too am sorry you're having a rough day, but hey you are not alone. Today has not been a good day for me either. Everything I hear or everything I see reminds me of how much I miss my daughter...of course today marks 3 weeks of her being gone :(. I've just been writing letters until my hands are sore & checking mail furiously for letters oh & not to mention not having phone less then arms length away. I know this is such a wonderful thing for her personally as well as for her future, but I didn't imagine it would be this hard on me emotionally. Guess it doesn't help I suffer from depression anyways :S. I just try to keep positive & encouraging things in her letters & so looking forward to PIR.

Always helps to remember I raised an amazing daughter as have the rest of you raised some amazing, strong, & couragous children (Husbands/BF included).

44 more days...Wooohoooooo!!!!

Comment by navywife11 on December 13, 2011 at 5:40pm: thank you autumnsunset DITTO :) thats what im looking forward to

Comment by AutumnSunset on December 13, 2011 at 5:18pm: No mail here either guys.

momma2many, I think we are taking the Amtrak too. I keep wondering about weather, cost etc and what would be best in mid January.

navywife11, I am SO sorry it has been such a tough day for you. I remember life when my hubby was deployed. I pray you have peace and comfort. Remember, things look promising for letters/calls later in the week.

Comment by navywife11 on December 13, 2011 at 5:02pm: no mail for me today :( im going crazy! i feel like im writing a ghost :( ugh today hasnt been the best, I MISS MY HUBBY! :( hope everyones day is going well, GO 02/910!!!

Comment by CoMom92 (Ship 03 Div 047) on December 13, 2011 at 4:50pm: I am starting to dislike the mailman now. He came at like 4pm yesterday, so tried to get a letter out to my SR today, but NO he already came today before 2. AND to top it all off, there wasn't even a letter from my SR in there. ARGH! This snail mail crap sucks!!

Comment by diannep on December 13, 2011 at 4:15pm: You all remember...for those not renting a car, please consider using SARGE. You may be able to share one of his cars with others arriving for PIR (saves money since he charges by the car) but his rates are good anyway. He is retired military and full of wonderful info for you. He can handle all of your travel needs for the weekend. He also hosts a MeetNGreet for families the night before PIR. Call or text him for info:

Comment by diannep on December 13, 2011 at 4:12pm: momma2many: The train station in GL is right next to RTC. Very short walk. You may want to pull up the website.
