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 09/14/2012! A place for friends and family to stay connected!

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 in your username you will need to change your username. If yours 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 to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 12, 2012 at 11:33pm: Fair Winds and Following Seas Andrea! See you soon!

FTLW: you're in our hearts always! Thank you!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 12, 2012 at 11:16pm: Hello Ladies and Gents!

FTLW is very sorry...but she has had a lot on her plate...and it seems like she is getting "seconds" with out asking for them! Not fun as I love being able to be on here and support you all!

I am so happy for all of you and your Sailors! Have safe travels All of you! Try to get some rest when you can...it is hard! So exciting!

I know you are going to have a BLAST at your Meet and Greets.

Dylan's Mom...hope your pup is doing well. <3

diannep is right as far as the Sailors being "on their own" at the AP...no RTC personnel there with them. BUT they will be briefed...and then you can discuss all of that with them. I would plan to go though :-), "I am prepared, I am flexible, I am strong"...Semper Fortis!

PLEASE come back and let us know the results so we are "up to date" with ouir info! TY

So happy for you elizabeth!

MLDD...what can I say...you are SUPERFAB!

Congrats to your Sailor Cindy!

Always a Mom...BIG HUGS!

PIR 09/14/2012....I salute you...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 12, 2012 at 11:13pm: Lynda...you get the gate pass at the Airline that your Sailor is flying out from. He has to be with you to do so...and make sure you have proper ID.

The airlines do this as a courtesy for servicemembers....but it is not a guarantee depending on what is going on in our Nation.
