OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by diannep on January 4, 2012 at 9:12am: Also, airport visits are good because your sailor can get you a gate pass from the airlines (you are present with ID to get this) and you can wait at the gate for their plane to leave.

Comment by diannep on January 4, 2012 at 9:11am: unc80: Depends on when they leave out on Sat. But they are bussed there in the wee hours of Saturday morning and flights usually don't start leaving until around 6 am and later, so if you go out there early, you should have time with your sailor. If they are held at RTC through the weekend, you should have daytime with them through the weekend. Same with GL A School students...watches may take a little of that time away though.

Good morning all!

Comment by Okie Cowgirl on January 3, 2012 at 11:10pm: There are several new members to the PIR group. Welcome one and all. Feel free to ask questions, share your joys and sorrows. (Not that I know any of the answers to your questions, but there are certainly some ladies on here who do.)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 3, 2012 at 11:00pm: ...I get to post it AGAIN! LOL

Comment by Okie Cowgirl on January 3, 2012 at 11:00pm: Oh Connie and Barbie! No letter still? Don't your mailmen understand sad moms have violent tendencies?

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 3, 2012 at 10:47pm: I will be at work tomorrow but if anyone would like to they can come poke my mailman in the eye if he does not bring me a letter from SR. (It's OK, I'll make him cookies to make up for it when he does bring the letter.-LOL

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 3, 2012 at 10:33pm: @unc80- I have been reading everything I could on it and it looks like most nukes flew out from O'hare on Sat. They had to be at airport very early in AM but were able to visit with family there until the flight. Not sure if this is always the case.

Comment by unc80 on January 3, 2012 at 10:00pm: What if they are going to Nuke school in GC? Will we have any time with them on Saturday?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 3, 2012 at 9:30pm: You should have them for the remainder of the day after PIR and you should be able to meet them at the airport on Saturday for extra time with them. Sometimes their flights aren't until Sunday and rarely Monday. I would try to stay until Sunday just in case they have a late flight on Saturday. You won't know their flight time until right after PIR. If A-school is in Great Lakes then you normally get most of the day Saturday and Sunday with them.

Comment by astrid on January 3, 2012 at 8:47pm: Hello everyone - does anyone know when we might know the details of our recruits weekend liberty for graduation weekend. More specifically how much time they will have before departing for A-school, so to align my travel schedule. Will we just have them for the hours following graduation or perhaps part of SAT as well? Thanks in advance for any advice.
