WELCOME to PIR 08/09/2013! 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".

Thetribemom: Ahhhhh....so sweet that you are bringing the pup to reunite with your sailor! Posts piks on here of that reunion!
So, ladies, as Thetribemom found out, Navy Lodge is "pet friendly." So is Residence Inn (about 4-5 miles from RTC) and there are others in the area. So if you can, bring those pups!

Peggy: AMEN to all you posted below! You got it, girl! Nothing is written in stone in the Navy! And, many times, the RDCs say things that either change or may not be exactly true. Like....some in the past have told the sailors that families CANNOT meet them at the airports to visit with them prior to flying out for A School. So NOT true....the USO out there welcomes all family members (with ID to visit at the gate until departure of their planes!) who want to come see their new sailors off!

Got a call yesterday from my SR!! He's been able to call home five times now!! He was at Heaven again and tried to pass off that he'd failed a test... I wasn't buying it... and he said he was joking. BRAT! Anyway, he did give me the date of their BS, so if anyone else from 296 wants to know, message me.
His girlfriend and I will be staying at Navy Lodge Thursday night only... I have to catch another flight from home early Saturday morning.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Good morning...got to talk to my Sailor 4 times yesterday..he said he was in "recuit heaven" phones, computer, food arcade games for about 6 or so hours. Very happy guy,told me this was the best decision he could have made. He has ranked up and has had a blast. Finds out Tuesday when he will leave bc. He already has the yearbook and ordered pictures. Told me his military id makes him look a litle special.lol He has made alot of friends for life. See you guys there. We are staying at the NAVY lodge, I will be the one with the red retriever dog. Its my sailors dog and can't wait to see them back together. BTW the other twin has decided the NAVY is for him, so one more go around for me.

Sounds like the perfect restaurant for him, CJsmom!

Peggy, my son actually had 2 weeks after A School. It depends on how much Leave time they have stored up ((2.5 days/mo) and when their duty station needs for them to report.
Remember, if your sailor contacts his/her recruiter to work in the recruiter's office when home on Leave after A School, the days he/she works do not count against their Leave days and they can save some of them. When my son was in DEP, one of the sailors doing this came and spoke to his DEP group during training one day.
Thetribemom: Is his recruiter in another city from you? So, if he is going to work with him, then those days won't count against his Leave.
martha: I agree with ellen....she can take some with her since she will be allowed to wear them eventually.
Good Morning!

martha, I don't know where your daughter is going to school and the rules and time frames can vary from base to base. It will be at least two weeks before she is allowed to wear them, but eventually she can.
