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 Darthvadersmom Ship11Div331 on August 28, 2012 at 2:13pm: Diannep: Thank you for the info :} Of Course he did nothing wrong he is perfect, ha ha ( I hope everybody is smiling at that comment)

I will just have to keep sending letters every day.

Do they get mail call every day?

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2012 at 2:12pm: Should have said...."Your SRs will know these SRs"....not "sailors" yet!

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2012 at 2:12pm: Ladies, as you are watching for others in your division to post on here so you can connect with each other, be sure to watch for the brother division ladies too. Your SRs will know these sailors also since they do all of their training together. Some of my sailor's best buds were in his brother division. So connect with those ladies too.

So here are the brother divisions in this group:

327+328

329+330

331+332

333+334

335+336

337+338

948

822

Another suggestion: You can go to the "Members" square up above and on the right with the photo icons of the members on this page. Click on "view all." Scroll through and make note of those ladies with your division number in their screen name---click on their icon. Then you can friend request them to chat! Those who do not have their division number in their screen name may want to add it. Makes it easier to spot each other on here.

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2012 at 2:00pm: Darthvadersmom: Sigh....wish I could give you a definite answer, but it is all up to the RDCs on who gets to call and when. Some may miss division calls because they had to be somewhere else...medical, dental, etc. Sometimes they just run out of time for all to call. Don't assume that it means he has done something wrong....although that can happen, it is more likely that he hasn't called for one of the reasons I mentioned.

Hoping that you hear from him soon!

Comment by Darthvadersmom Ship11Div331 on August 28, 2012 at 1:47pm: Diannep....Why are the phone calls here and there?

Some parents have recieved them some not.

rcabrera's SR is on Ship 11 Div 331 same as my son and has recieved a call where we have not. Hmmmm

Comment by LaSue (Ship 2, DIV 948) on August 28, 2012 at 1:42pm: Hello everyone, my SR is Ship 2, Division 948. I was wondering of anyone heard anything from their SR. We miss her so much, her daughter is always asking about her...It is so hard on us :-(
