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 floridabeachgirl on August 31, 2012 at 8:20am: @ Melissa...what address did your son give you? I have been using 3600 Ohio Street....my son put bldg 7103, 3515 Sailor Drive....doesn't seem right. I hope he gets ALL the letters I've been sending.

Comment by Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on August 31, 2012 at 7:30am: Okay thanks ladies!

Comment by Melissa on August 31, 2012 at 1:27am: Add me to the Happy Mom Parade - two letters in the mail today! My baby said that he is tired and working hard, but doing well. He has made some friends in his Division (822) - which helps. He also said mail from home and friends is great, so keep the letters coming. He said the food was good and he was eating plenty.

Said his Division gets some looks because they are Bad A$$ (the SpecOps attitude is kicking in!)

All in all, he sounded good and it was great to hear from him. Fingers crossed that letters for the rest of you keep arriving. I didn't think a letter from him would make such a difference, but I guess I was worrying more than I realized because I feel like a weight has been lifted from my heart.

Go Navy! So proud of our young men and women.

Comment by Debbie T (Ship 3 Div 337) on August 31, 2012 at 12:41am: Kellee, That is the sweetest thing I've ever seen! What a wonderful brother!
BP's Mom, I do the same thing at work with my cell...it's comforting to see what's going on with the other moms & dads. Thanks to everyone for responding about ages...Kevin is in very good company!

Comment by Kellee on August 31, 2012 at 12:02am: Proudmona - thanks so much for sharing!!!! Love the 'arts & crafts" part. It is great to hear what is going on.

BP & Heidimarie....hopefully we will get letters tomorrow =o)

GO NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Kellee on August 31, 2012 at 12:00am: Ok...I think I have it figured out lol. I wanted to post the pix of when my son took little sister to Build-A-Bear to make a Navy bear before he shipped out =0)

Comment by BP's mom Ship 003 Div 337 on August 30, 2012 at 11:01pm: Evening all!! I know I don't post on here too much but really enjoy keeping up on everyone via my cell phone (sneak peeks while at work!!). We still haven't gotten a letter but from what I'm reading it could be tomorrow or Saturday (fingers crossed!!). All your questions and comments have been fantastic and I do appreciate them even if I don't contribute often. Only8weeks - we received a phone call last Saturday which was not info or medical related...a few were surprised that we did receive one so early - not sure why it happened. It was only 9 minutes long but was fantastic. He called mid-morning...not sure if that helps or not. Good night all and can't wait to read how we all heard from our loved ones tomorrow (again, fingers crossed).

Comment by Rachel on August 30, 2012 at 10:53pm: ProudMona thanks for sharing. My husband & I got a chuckle out of it. Sounds like he's doing great!

Comment by Darthvadersmom Ship11Div331 on August 30, 2012 at 10:46pm: ProudMona:)

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on August 30, 2012 at 10:44pm: Wow proudmona - great letter. Thanks for sharing. He sounds like a great guy. Good job ProudMona :)
