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."

Comment by beacon56 on May 16, 2011 at 7:48pm: does anyone know how i would get the DVD of the graduation? we only had a few hours with my son and even went to the NEX and STILL forgot cuz we were busy doing other things! exhausted but wouldn't have missed it for the world!!!

Comment by judyb on May 16, 2011 at 11:44am: It was great being on Navy4moms. Thank you all.

We didn't get as much time as we wanted, either. Our sailor was a Saturday departure. We got to the airport at 3am, got our gate passes, and were able to be with our sailor until his 7am departure.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 15, 2011 at 10:40pm: Itsmemom Im sorry you didnt ge much liberty time that really does stink :/

Comment by itsmemom on May 15, 2011 at 10:35pm: Home from PIR---thought the graduation was great! However, we didn't get to spend as much time with our sailor as we thought we were going to get. She is staying at GL, for school until Feb. But, something was missing in her medical papers-she was told that they were putting her on a med hold. So she only got 2 hrs of liberty on Fri, Sat and Sun all on base only. I was really bumm and we all wanted to go to my son's place in Chicago for a family BBQ. All of us were together for the couple of hours on Friday. My husband and I went to my son's on Saturday after seeing her. Her brother is about a hour from her and will be able to visit. I plan on going to Chicago this summer an will see her then. Just wish the weekend would of gone a little better. BUT we did enjoy the time we had.

Comment by sherilyn on May 15, 2011 at 10:27pm: just got home from driving to PIR. it was amazing & so glad i was there. went to the airport @ 3:00am to be with our new sailor until she left for florida, luck us, her flight didn't leave until 4:00 pm, so we had all day with her!! being at the airport all day wasn't the best, but being together was! so glad we had that extra time. next trip, florida in september!!

bravo zulu to all our new sailors!!!

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 15, 2011 at 9:36pm: I cant wait to visit should be around the beginning of June that he phases up

Comment by Dr.Kimber on May 15, 2011 at 8:30pm: Wow, sorry I started all that about the airport. I never heard anything about not being able to go, I just wanted to make sure that I did the right thing when I got there. Luckily, my son called us from the USO and told us what to do. We didnt have a problem at all. We stayed until they mustered, then left.
Thanks to all of you for the advice and knowledge during the past 8 weeks. It's been great!

Comment by michelle c on May 15, 2011 at 8:30pm: We all had a great time with our sailor. It was very hard to leave him again. But we will be back to see him before the summer is over.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 15, 2011 at 7:07pm: I had a great time at PIR and met some great girls!! Had an amazing time with my sailor and I sure as heck was at the airport!! I didnt hear them say not too and my Sailor said you better be there baby and I was and they gave me, his mom, his step dad and little sister all gate passes to hang out with him. It was hard saying goodbye though :/ I'll be visiting though as soon as he levels up :)
