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 09/28/2012!

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 Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it 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.

Comment by Dad of Sailor on August 13, 2012 at 2:49pm: Just looked at the website and it appears between 9-13 is normal so it's a bigger one.

Comment by Dad of Sailor on August 13, 2012 at 2:28pm: How many divisions are normal, is 13 a lot?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 13, 2012 at 2:26pm: You are now officially:

TG 46 — 13 Divisions (307–316, 819, 820 & 946) Graduate Friday, Sep. 28, 2012

as per the RTC Website...Congrats!

TWO SPECOPS...they'll be Brother DIvisions then.

Comment by Jainz57 on August 13, 2012 at 12:27pm: Hello, Does anyone know how many divisions are in this PIR group? I'm trying to get a gauge on the possibility of getting 4 more people in that are not on the "list". I read that one person went to a PIR with 13 divisions and they had no problem getting others in. We don't want them to schedule trips if they won't even be able to watch. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on August 13, 2012 at 8:33am: Dreamer: I believe 9-10 yr olds. 10 yrs old was my all-time favorite age with my boys. They were more independent then, but still into the huggy love-you-mommy stage! So 5th grade was good too....Then 6th grade and "hormones" hit....sigh.... :-)

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Comment by Dreamer1118 SHIP 13 DIV 314!!! on August 13, 2012 at 7:26am: Lala- good luck at school! 4th grade is i think like 8-9 years old right?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 13, 2012 at 6:02am: Good Morning everyone. School starts today, I am subbing/teaching 4th grade for a month. I just found out on Wednesday so I have had 3 days to prepare. I am freaking out a little so wish me luck and maybe even say a little prayer. I can use all the help I can get lol. I will be back on here this afternoon. Have a wonderful day.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 12, 2012 at 11:40pm: You are very welcome, sorry I was MIA today. We had a big going away party at 1:00 for our daughter going to college this coming Friday. I guess everyone was having a good time because they just now left lol 11:30pm now I must go to bed. Good night all :-)
