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 dohnermom on October 4, 2012 at 4:59pm: So glad to see Div 327 did so awesome. My son is in Div 349 and they actually will only have BS21 a couple of days before PIR so they got to get it right the first time around. Again so happy for all of you and your new Sailors.

Comment by SusieW-PIR 10/12/2012 Seabee Mom on October 4, 2012 at 4:50pm: Congrats to the new sailors and families!

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on October 4, 2012 at 4:36pm: Honorary Mom that's great. Ross said the same thing about their RDC's - he said they were great. So very proud of everyone and your calls are coming, if not today in the next few days.
Can't wait to meet everyone next week.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 4, 2012 at 4:33pm: Congratulations on all of your new sailors!

Comment by Honorary Mom 09/327 on October 4, 2012 at 4:25pm: My SR, I mean SAILOR said that 327 was the best division with the best RDC's. He said their average score was 4.81 out of 5, everyone passed their PFA's, and they earned a CNO flag that no other division earned. SO proud of them all. They really pulled together and made this happen. 327 friends and family, be proud. We have a great group of sailors here!!
