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 lsmith32 Navy Nuke Mom on August 22, 2012 at 6:22pm: Don't know for sure, but think this might be our PIR date as well. he is ship 11/div 335. Does anyone know if there is an age requirement for graduation? My son won't be 18 until the 14th. I'm hoping we won't have to wait another week. Haven't gotten the letter yet, but recruiter gave me the info.
