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 10/12/2012

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 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 Debbie T (Ship 3 Div 337) on August 31, 2012 at 10:44pm: Kellee, I think we'll go to Sarge's M&G as well...can't wait to meet you! We used to live in CA...in the Bay Area. Moved to WA with our jobs in 83. I'll be staking out the mailbox tomorrow!!

BP's Mom...nope, no letter yet...my mom is so sweet, she said they're probably so busy being in the push division that they haven't been able to write yet. Trying to make me feel better! Lol!

Comment by navywife0514 (ship 09 div 327) on August 31, 2012 at 10:41pm: Kellee- that is too cute that she rescued a worm. Lol. I read that and smiled.

Comment by Kellee on August 31, 2012 at 10:18pm: Love the questionnaire! I'm going to send it out too. I can't remember who said it but it will a hoot to post the responses =o)

DebbieT - yes!!! We are staying at the Navy Lodge! Still trying to figure out the best flights. Are you going to make it to Sarge's M & G? LOL...yup, just bills here too!

Lisvin - my son isnt in the same DIV but I'm in California =o)

Lala...Thanks! Yes, they are really close despite the age difference. She is doing better - 'rescued' a worm yesterday, so um yeah that is keeping her mind off her brother right now LOL

Comment by Proudmama on August 31, 2012 at 9:48pm: Mom of 2: I got my letter finally! I received it yesterday. My son is in the same ship/division as yours. I am in CA. Hopefully you got it today. It was short. He said he didn't have much time for writing. He mentioned nothing about how he was doing which was the main thing I wanted to know! He was too worried about telling everyone here how much he loved all of us. It was very sweet.

Comment by Debbie T (Ship 3 Div 337) on August 31, 2012 at 9:40pm: Kellee, Did I see that you booked at the Navy Lodge...or did I imagine it! We did too! Was hoping to get a letter today, but just bills...rats!! Would love to know how he's doing, I'm with you lsmith32 ship 11 div 335, feeling very anxious! Happy for you Kathyc...what ship/div is your SR in? Love reading all the comments! : )

Comment by navywife0514 (ship 09 div 327) on August 31, 2012 at 9:34pm: Can't wait for that first call... Its getting closer and closer. :-D

Comment by rcabrera(ship11div-331) on August 31, 2012 at 9:19pm: @ mommaross yes I aso think the graphic is great.

@Darvadersmom is so good you got a letter and that he is doing good, so proud of them.

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on August 31, 2012 at 8:47pm: I love the new N4M's graphic header - has anyone else noticed it?

Comment by Darthvadersmom Ship11Div331 on August 31, 2012 at 7:59pm: Finally got home to my letter....YEAAAAAA

He is doing great...says "All I have to do is Listen and address the person I am speeking to". He ws appotined EPO (Educational Petty Officer). says "Go figure this is a role that still has me taking charge" That is funny to me because he is a take charge kind of guy. also " Marching is easy and Why do I have to be so tall? I m a road guard for intersections, so I march in back of the ranks"...

.thinking to myself.ha ha Your Dad is tall and so is your brother you were doomed from the start lol (He is 6' 4") .And I said to myself "well Son there is a reason I stand in the kitchen yelling for a Tall Person I needed you to get food off the top shelf to make you grow taller.

So Great to read his letter even though I think ET wrote it...That is not his wrighting but it is his signature...

I am going to send him the Questionnaire today so this should be fun.

GO Navy !!!!!
