WELCOME to PIR 04/12/2013!
~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

The Navy runs on a fiscal year (the same one the Federal gov't runs on) it begins October 1st and ends Sept 30th. There are 52 weeks in their fiscal year and TGs are numbered accordingly.
This group would be in the 22nd week of accounting for the Navy's fiscal year. If you look at February-March PIR groups you can seen that TG 14 and 15 were skipped, there were no recruits and no PIR for those two weeks.
Hope my explanation was clear. I tend to talk in circles sometimes. LOL

NavyMom: The numbers you asked about are the division numbers---the 800 division is the Special Operations group. Each SR (Seaman Recruit) is in a division. We think the divisions in this PIR group are the ones I listed a few posts below this. RTC will confirm that next week.

Winski: Yes, those staying in GL for A School will have daytime liberty through Sunday night.
NavyMom: Depends on if your new sailor will be staying in GL for A School. If so, then look at the comment for Winski above. If your sailor will be flying out to A School, that most likely will happen the day after PIR. But if possible, we ask that you all try to stay until Sunday just in case they don't fly out until Sunday. Sometimes that happens.

NavyMom, some new sailors may have to be at the airport for their departure to their A schools, as early as the early hours on Saturday, but others may not leave until later that day. There is no way of knowing now. We have always recommended that, if you can, try to stay until Sunday. That way if your sailor does leave later on Saturday, you will be able to stay with them at the airport and not have to worry about getting your own flight out that day as well.
