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 05/18/2012

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 flgirltwo on April 7, 2012 at 1:04pm: Waiting for mailman again. And the phones are glued to my side. Lol

Comment by diannep on April 7, 2012 at 11:05am: Meant to say: Any way! ooops.....

Comment by diannep on April 7, 2012 at 11:04am: Anyway they can fly into Milwaukee? Less traffic there and cheaper usually (try Southwest). About 45 minutes from RTC...straight interstate.

If they decide on Chicago airport instead, OHare may be better. Closer to RTC. Try SARGE for their airport/GL transportation (847-212-0246) Better rates.

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2012 at 6:58pm: Momship: Dress at PIR goes the "full range" from very dressy to "beach" attire. We recommend "dressy casual" because your sailors will be in their finest. But remember that there is some walking involved that day, so comfortable shoes are a must (heels can be put on in the PIR hall for those who want them)...and remember seating is in bleachers.

No, the Navy doesn't do banners for the family to hold....they don't want signs there. It blocks the view of those behind you. In one recent PIR group, right when a lady's sailor marched into the hall in his division, the lady in front of her stood up and lifted the sign she had "snuck" in and blocked that other woman's view of her sailor....not nice...of course, she didn't mean to--was just excited to see her sailor too...but remember that all are trying to spot their sailors as they march in (not as easy as it sounds...I never spotted mine!)...so it is best to not have signs/banners....and they frown on them anyway.

However, to have some in your car, or in the hotel room...would be a great thing!
