WELCOME to PIR 009/26//2014! 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"

WilliamSP: This has been a rumor lately....but I contacted RTC and they said absolutely that the sailors are allowed to visit family at Navy Lodge. Not only are they able to visit, but for families with no military ID of their own, they will book in their sailor's name and the sailor must go by the front desk at some point after PIR to verify. So what the SRs are being told makes no sense. I checked this out with Brian Walsh at the Public Affairs office a few weeks ago. He asked me for division numbers in that particular PIR group (not this one) so he could correct their misinformation.
Now, for those already in A School at GL, it is true that they are not allowed near the Navy GATEWAY hotel (located on that that base) without a special chit. But that has nothing to do with Navy Lodge. If you want to make sure, please contact the PAO at RTC at 847 688 2405. The more people who contact them about this misinformation being given to the SRs, hopefully the quicker this can be cleared up.
CatMom: I have seen depression up close in the journey of my life....it saddens me when people call suicide totally selfish---I know it is much deeper than that and many times, is just the opposite....my heart hurts for Robin Williams and his family....I know from the tragedies in my own family/friends that it is such a horrible illness that has no "quick and permanent fix." Many of my friends struggling with this are devout Christians too, and their faith is what keeps them going, but even then, they struggle. We have to claim victory in our faith, but it doesn't mean that we don't meet our friends/family members in their point of need, admit we don't understand what they are going through, but offer our support, companionship, compassion, and constant prayer.
Welcome to the group, graysonjane!
Good Morning Everyone!

Craig,
It is hard to believe that someone as talented as Robin Williams was deceived into thinking his family was better off without him or he had another place he wanted to be~~ Praying for his family~~

To Robin Williams, may you Rest In Peace
People can accept seeing a person with physical disabilities, but it is so hard for them to accept mental disabilities, because they can't see the problem. However both are on the same level. Physical and Mental weigh the same.
Individuals with depression can hide it, fake it, and keep it to themselves. This makes it difficult for loved ones to recognize the symptoms and get the individual the professional help that they need.
This man had made so many people laugh, but yet he was not laughing within himself. He was hurting. He was in pain.
I know a lot of you are missing your sailors. Please take a moment and talk to someone, whether it's here in our group, or where ever you find the most comfort. Maybe others in your family are depressed. With Robin Williams passing, this is a great opportunity to find out how everyone is doing and to talk about things.
Please, please, take a moment to check not only yourself, but others in your family.
