WELCOME to PIR 06/14/2013! 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".

Good Morning!
FLNavyMom: I sure hope you can make Lala's MeetandGreet tonight in Tarpon Springs. I know it is about 55-60 miles away, but it will be lots of fun!
Congrats on the calls/letters yesterday...hoping for more today!
auhi: Maybe he called it the PFA? That is their "test" in their physical training. There are 3 of them. The final one has to be passed no matter what happened on the first two. Then they proceed to BattleStations, and then they are sailors! The final PFA is usually given about a week before PIR. BattleStations also are done within the last 7-8 days before PIR.
The Navy pea coats are definitely good looking jackets!

My SR sounded so good. I was so excited I could hardly type yesterday to tell ya'll he had called. He got pneumonia in the first week. He said every time they could call or write he was SIQ. But he is doing much better now and is loving it. He said he got a 4.4 or his last test. Which he said is like a 4.0 and has passed his swim, and PT(they call it something else but I can't remember). He is the Whistle blower during the PIRs. He said he is stands in the center. I'm hoping for pics during the 5/31 PIR or 06/7 PIR. I will be coming the Div 900 pages. Joyce my son was also excited about his Pea coat and had learned to sew and iron. He advanced up so he had to sew on his Airman Apprentice strips. Sewing that's a new one.

I too got a nice call from my SR. Div 931 Ship 2 last evening too. He sounds so good. Passing all test and actually likes it. My son said he didn't know the next time he could call but to send a phone card so I know there will be more calls. Next week is a big training week so I won't expect much. He said he got sweet uniforms and a really cool Navy Pea Coat. He's happy as long as he looks good. Some things never change! Hahahaha.

My SR called me too! What a happy day. He said he is doing well & passed all his tests as well. He told me the same thing that it may be awhile until the next call. I got 2 letters today. This has been an amazing day. Only 36 days until PIR! We can do it if our SR's can. Hang in there everyone. Have a great night.

Oh, by the way, yesterday I said that I learned how to transfer the house calls to my cell phone...thank goodness I did that today. He called the house phone when we were out with relatives. I would have missed that call!!! Thank you, God, for helping me.

My SR called from ship 2 DIV 931, too! We talked for a long time. He said he has done well on his tests, and that the whole division did really great on the last test.
His first letter finally arrived!!
What a day!!!
Glad to hear you received a call, too, auhi00! I hope everybody who hasn't gotten a call lately gets one soon.
