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 05/04/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors 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 Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 12, 2012 at 9:51am: Yes, I'm bringing my oldest son, grandson, and my SR's girlfriend. Expensive trip! Can't Wait!!!! 3 Weeks! Mine has been prepping too. He is extremely fit, I wouldn't be surprised if he is getting less fit, because I doubt this PT even holds a candle to how hard he works out daily when he trained at home. He wanted to be very fit in hopes he gets HM assigned to FMF. He wants to be a combat medic.

Comment by RyGyMom0330 on April 12, 2012 at 9:29am: He's Ship 09, Div. 138.

He has been preparing for this for such a long time. I'm so glad it is everything he had hoped it would be.

Will you be there May 4th?

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 12, 2012 at 9:21am: RyGy. My son is also enjoying BC! :) What Ship/Div is your son? You are so lucky to be so close.

Comment by RyGyMom0330 on April 12, 2012 at 9:10am: It has been great received one phone call and several letters from my son. He is actually enjoying bootcamp. I can't wait to see him on the 4th...Anyone else from Chicagoland area not staying over night? I plan on just driving there in the morning less than 30 min. drive, and sad to be missing the 'meet and greet's" on Thurs.

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2012 at 10:37pm: juliebelle: You can send contacts/a small container of solution to your SR for PIR. They will just have to put away until that time. Label the outside of the padded envelope/small box so they know what it is (will have to open it anyway). Make sure your SR has asked that you send these before you do. We don't recommend that you just send without them asking.

Comment by AsherzMomGlo (02/925) on April 11, 2012 at 9:31pm: That's great, Vivian!!! I as totally bummed because I received 2 envelopes from Ashley stuffed full of pictures and letters for me to save... NO LETTER!!! UHG!!!

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 11, 2012 at 9:20pm: Vivian, THANK YOU!!! (((((Hugs))))) for you and Emily! What an awesome fun letter!
