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 06/22/2012

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 Sailors/Recruits 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 mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 12, 2012 at 7:34pm: I found out today that one of my SR's friend's mother is following the Recruit Command Center FB page. I e-mailed her and thanked her and gave her my boy's address. I'm SURE she will write if she has taken the time to follow that! We live in a very small town where everyone knows everyone....it was great with our boys growing up because they couldn't get away with ANYTHING without someone telling their dad or me! :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 12, 2012 at 4:21pm: Julie...I am sure that your letters are like gold to him! Yay on your travel arrangements! How exciting for you both...I bet your son is excited!

Comment by diannep on May 12, 2012 at 1:01pm: When my son was at bootcamp, I contacted a couple of his favorite teachers (he had been out of high school for several years, but these teachers were very pivotal in his life). I asked if they would mind writing to him. Both of them did. Meant alot to him. So...if any of your SRs have favorite teachers, coaches, neighbors, etc...be sure to ask them too. Your SRs will find a new level of appreciation/gratitude in bootcamp... they will appreciate so much more than you ever thought that they could!

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 12, 2012 at 10:14am: I sent our SR's address to EVERYONE - even folks in our church who may not even WANT to write - and told them to WRITE! I know he would love to hear from his brothers, but the 2 older ones are so used to using texts or e-mails, I'm not sure they even know how to write a REAL letter. Our youngest son has typed him a letter on the computer, sent a card and draws him pictures of a Navy ship to send with his letters. In my last letter to our SR I asked him if there was someone there who didn't get any mail, and to send his name so I could write to him. I told him I thought the saddest thing would be to NOT get mail when everyone else was getting it.

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 12, 2012 at 10:03am: My parents and myself have written to him thats it

Comment by diannep on May 12, 2012 at 9:56am: so, Julie...Monday will be 2-3 for your division. They will be starting week 3 on Thurs.

Good morning everyone!

Julie, I sure hope that the rest of his family writes some letters--in addition to yours. They have the address, right? It is so important for the SRs to have lots of mail--the more the merrier...from many different people. As my son said when in bootcamp> "it is our connection to the outside world...."

Comment by JMT1366 (Ship 3 - Div 188) on May 12, 2012 at 8:07am: Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow Navy Mom's!

Thank you for raising such fine young men and women, it's why they are doing what they are doing.

The best of the best!
