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 05/25/2012

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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 30, 2012 at 8:36am: This group really needs some excitement. Everyone keeps going MIA, you all are not out scaling the RTC fence are you? lol

Comment by renee1222 on April 29, 2012 at 8:34pm: my SR called me and told me his PIR 5/25. ship 07/160and he leaves the next morning for his A school.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 28, 2012 at 10:11pm: Lala, just disregard my comment on another group, as you just answered it on here. They all look so beautiful and your son is a lucky man to be able to escort so many cute girls.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 28, 2012 at 10:01pm: Jenn, glad to see you will be splitting the trip into two days. I am normally not a soda drinker. The only time I drink any soda is when I am driving long distances and need to stay awake and alert. I drank so much Mt Dew on my trip to PIR that I almost ended up in the hospital and it took my body week to recover. Never again will I drink soda and never again will I drive that far without help in one day lol. You are much smarter than I was when I went :-)

Today I was a slacker, well as least on this site and the computer. I had a huge, very successful yard sale and then did hair and make-up for 3 girls going to prom and ironed shirt,pants etc for my son. The Navy will be teaching him how to that pretty soon, lol. They we took them all to a lake and took pictures and then to dinner at Outback (yum). They could have done dinner alone like most teens but wanted us there for some reason....maybe to pay the bill lol.I am pooped and heading to bed early. Goodnight everyone :-) The two girls in blue are my step daughters, the girl in white is their best friend (going into Air Force) and the boy is my youngest son, soon to be Sailor :-)

Comment by diannep on April 28, 2012 at 10:14am: Have a great weekend, everyone!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 28, 2012 at 9:59am: I will be doing all of the driving myself. I think I'm leaving early Wednesday morning, stop for the night and planning to get to GL sometime Thursday afternoon. The only thing I'm sure of is the fact that I will definitely be procrastinating until the last minute... enjoy the yard sale..

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 28, 2012 at 7:05am: I drove 16 hours, wish i could have flown. I can tell you that when my son goes to bootcamp and has PIR I will either fly or I will take 2 days to get there and 2 days to come home. I had to do all the driving myself and that was way too hard. It took me at least 3 weeks to recover lol. Off, to have our yard sale, Have a good day everyone!!!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 28, 2012 at 6:40am: Ha, you are so funny Lala... I have been trying to decide if I want to drive 18 hours to PIR or fly. The cost will be similar, and i will have my 5 year old with me either way. I can't seem to make a decision. LOL He also got stitches yesterday, so we spent the afternoon at the ER.

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 28, 2012 at 5:56am: Thank yo ladies!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 28, 2012 at 4:39am: Just a gentle reminder for the newer PIR groups and for any new members (Welcome!)

If your last name is in your username and it is the same as your recruits you will need to change your username. Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on the N4M's site.

If it is not the same it is still a good idea to change it as this is a public forum and anyone can read the site...they do not have to be a member.

Here is how to change your username:

To change your username on here.

Just go to "Settings" which is in the list in the far right hand column of this page...under where you sign out of N4M's.

Your profile page will open.

Under "Profile" Username is the third item down.

Clear the info and type in your new username.

Once you do that make sure to click "save" at the bottom right of the page.

If you need any help ...let me know. TY!
