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".

Momof2: My mother called me this morning to let me know that she got a message from my daughter while they were away on Monday. I asked her to pray for you and your daughter, and she said she will definitely bombard heaven for you both as soon as she gets off the phone. Please let us know when you hear from her.

It's beautiful and very heavy. Got some cleaning to finish up and last minute shopping. Gotta take hubby for xrays when he gets off work. Then repack her bag with all of her requested items, dinner and shower. I think I will be ready after that. Whew what a day!!
