WELCOME to PIR 05/16/2014! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.
~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"

Hello All!!

but on what is unseen; since what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

For those of you that have sailors staying in GL for A School.
On Friday you will have about a short time with your sailor before the have to go back to their ship to pack up and move to the TSC side for school. This process can take several hours. Answer every call, even from other area codes, the sailors already in school may let your sailor use their cell phonewhen they are ready to leave for liberty. Calls that they can leave usually come between 2:30 and 5pm.
They will have until approx 10pm (time may vary) on Friday before they must be back to their ship. THEY CANNOT BE LATE! If they have to walk back it is quite the distance, allow them plenty of time.
Keep your gate pass from PIR as it may "help you" drive them back to their ship that night. You cannot drive on to base without your sailor in the car with you, and whether you can drive on to base is up to the gate guards.
Your sailor should also have liberty on Sat and Sun from approx 6am to 10pm (these hours can vary). On Sat and Sun they will call when they can leave and you will meet them at the main gate (by the visitors center). When you meet them at the gate you must go back to their ship with them and check them out. Again, your PIR pass may allow you to drive them back to their ship to check them out. If you cannot drive them back you must walk back with them wear comfortable shoes it is a long walk.
When they return at night you must also check them back in. THEY CANNOT BE LATE! The same person who checks them out must also be the one to check them back in!
They will be instructed on all of their liberty rules, please be mindful that they must follow them. There are PDA rules, limits on distances they can go (they must stay within 50 miles of base), no drinking, smoking etc. Do not ask them to bend the rules.
If you can and weather permitting (for you and them) get to the gate early, you can hear all the new sailors and their ships cadence as they march from their ships to the gate. The ships do not march to the gate together and there can be several coming at the same time. It is fun to listen to them and watch them march down the street to the gate (you can hear them coming a long way from the gate).
If you are at the gate when your sailor calls you, and you hear the cadences starting in the distance, the waiting and wondering if that is your sailors group, is almost as exciting as waiting for them to march through the door at PIR.
Y'all are in for a great weekend, and the best hug ever!
Safe travels!!!

Yes, all divisions in this PIR group should have now completed BattleStations. Unless any failed their final PFA and are still trying to pass that, which they must do before doing BattleStations. If they did not pass their final PFA, you should have received a call from them.
Good Morning and safe travel for those leaving today!

Congratulations to all!!!
