WELCOME to PIR 07/03/2014! 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"

therevbev: Not sure if the push division will know their own schedule or not. But I would think whatever your son provides you would be correct for his division though.

diannep - yes, I've been told that 213 is a push division. Is there anyway to know what their schedule is? I asked my son to give me a DOT in a letter, but will it be correct for a push division? I guess I kinda knew if PIR is 7/3, 7 Fridays plus, then something was being "rushed".

Hello~~
"Humble yourselves, therefore,
under God's mighty hand, that
He may lift you up in due time."

...I should add that his division could be a "push" division as well, which means they have a shorter number of days to get things done, but they do! ellen will tell you that in a push division, forget the week/day counts as they really don't apply to the push divisions.

therevbev: Sounds like he was a later arrival and would have had a shorter number of processing days. I assume he is in Div 213 or 214? The higher numbered divisions usually fill up last. 213/214 should be finishing up training week 2 this week.

Good morning ALL!

Whoa. Week 2 or 3? My son only arrived at RTC on the 12th! He can't have been thru P-days before Thurs or Fri last. How do they "catch-up" a full week of training?
-

Don't worry about the different zip codes (last 4 digits). Happens in every PIR group, including my own son's. Continue to use the one in the form letter, but it really doesn't matter. Your letters will get there.
This PIR group should be at the end of training week 2 now. The divisions are all within a couple of days of each other. Brother divisions are on the same day. Most will finish training by the end of the week before PIR week, and all conclude with BattleStations, their final test. Some will go through those towards the end of the week before PIR week; others will do them at the beginning of PIR week.
Good Morning!
