MeridianMom: By re-post, do you mean ones you found on RTC FB? Or personal piks? It is not advised to post piks of your SRs on here for the simple reason that there are RDCs in some PIR groups that look through this site. We like for you ladies to try and stay "separate" from your SR as much as possible on here....yes, there are ways that an RDC may figure out who belongs to who, but don't make it easy for them! :-) Now, after PIR, please feel free to post a pik if you like....the only exception to that would be the Special Operations sailors. It is not advised that piks of them are posted for OPSEC reasons.

Are we allowed to re-post pictures of our recruits as long as we dont mention their ship and division? Or is that prohibited?

This BC experience keeps us all growing... I am so happy that my SR wrote a letter to his older brother, which arrived today. It's probably the only thing he's written except a text in a long time! So happy that these two brothers care so much for each other. Just a little sad that he hasn't written to me and his dad yet . . . except that this shows me how much he is really NOT my little boy; he is a man now! There's isn't much more special for a mom than to see her kids loving on each other, so it's really all good.
