does anyone known if all the SR's in divi 122 passed Battlestations?
Exactly! I myself am on Facebook and only my family and church friends are my friends. I don't accept anyone I don't know at all, even if they are choosing to ask to be my friend because they know my other friends. I really have to personally know who you are to be my friend. So, please be very, very protective of your private details, pics of you and your Sailor, locations of where you eat/shop/etc on the PIR facebook groups. You just don't know for sure if someone is "pretending" to have a future Sailor there....
Good Morning!
"So, affectionately longing for you, we were
well pleased to impart to you not only the
gospel of God, but also our own lives, because
you had become dear to us."
I Thessalonians 2:8
Here's the article:

poodlelover: The private showers are a MUST for them! HA! That was the first thing my son did!
Good Morning!
For you all on FB, especially in the PIR FB groups....PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Please listen to the news today about the huge breach that has allowed a terrorist group to get many names of our military personnel, their addresses, piks, etc.....oh my gosh. The news specifically mentioned vulnerability on social media sites. This is what we preach and preach on this site.....the administrators over on the PIR FB groups say that their groups are closed, you have to be admitted, etc. That's great that they do that, but not failproof. There is only so much these administrators can do to make sure you are who you say you are....they have no access, nor do any of us, to a list of SRs at Bootcamp. PLEASE.....if you are on these groups, consider deleting piks of your SR on your FB page and other personal info re: your SR....be vigilante in deleting posts on there from others who are exposing personal info. This is a matter of national security, but more importantly, a matter of protecting the lives of of military. Talk to your sailor about this after PIR. The Navy will be talking to them too, but it helps if you reinforce this.
Sorry to be on my soapbox here....but we here on N4Moms have been fighting this issue for a long time. Social media is a wonderful way to be able to stay in touch with family members and friends for sure (I am on it myself but not in Navy groups). But it can be devastating to our military and the security they need to operate under. Just be cautious in exposing personal info on this site or on FB, twitter, etc.
We love our military guys/gals and want to keep them safe!
Monica,
You will do fine. Will pray for you though. You are on your way to your girl!!
Don't forget clothes for your new Sailors to relax in after their private shower in your hotel room!!!
Moms with daughters,
You can also bring a good selection of their favorite bras and underwear and let them select which ones they want to bring with them in the hotel room~~
spoke with my son today. What a great surprise call. He was excited to get Taco Bell again. He also said he doesn't care where we go after PIR he just wants some sleep and private shower. LOL. He also said he should know tomorrow when he is flying out Saturday or Sunday.
