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 07/06/2012"

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 Harley69, Ship 9, Div 209 on July 11, 2012 at 12:41pm: Yes the PIR was definitely awesome. They put pictures up on the RTC facebook page. My son was in 209 and there is a cover photo of that group. Pretty cool. He is now in SA, TX and loving the freedom of phone calls, etc. I was at my husbands graduation back in 90 at San Diego and I don't recall it being so emotional and amazing. Best of luck to all of the sailors!

Comment by katyellen (sh 3 div 208 PIR 7/6) on July 10, 2012 at 7:06am: Lets keep in contact...every once in a while pop in and say hi and whats going one with your sailor. Mine is still in Great Lakes and schooling for fire control. We went to take him back and it was like a little city within the gates. What a great site. Please post where your sailors are at and what they are doing.

Comment by Rica0725 - Ship 02 Div 935 on July 9, 2012 at 6:01pm: Hi - First of all, congratulations to all the newly grads of this PIR group! Very very happy for you and i'm sure you are all over the top happy right now! :) Just want to ask, for all those who's headed to Pensacola for A-School, when did your SR leave for their flights? Were you able to spend some time with them at the airport? Thanks so much in advance for your response! :) Have a wonderful day! :)

Comment by katyellen (sh 3 div 208 PIR 7/6) on July 9, 2012 at 8:35am: Just got home from PIR...Wow, it was fantastic. It was exciting and we felt so proud. Went to the store on base and went to the Navy Pier and had a lot of fun with our son. Saturday we went to the beach and it was windy and cool and absolutely beautiful. Could not have been a better weekend. Congrats to all our sailors..
