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 diannep on October 17, 2012 at 11:30am: Christmas shopping? Yep, I use to have mine done by this time too. But now....we have cut gift giving so much in my family that my shopping is easy...and quick....and cheap!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 17, 2012 at 9:20am: That is awesome Betsy, enjoy your shopping day. I took our college girl shopping in Charlotte last week on her way back to school and I actually did a little Christmas shopping myself. I got my Sailor a few things for her house and now I am looking for great gift ideas for very small things she can take on her ship. I got her a Kindle Fire HD for her December birthday so I am thinking an Amazon gift card will be on the Christmas list for sure so she can get lots of books and movies loaded to the Kindle before she deploys. I got my hubby a deep drop electric fishing reel (wife of the year here lol) I am one of those people who puts a lot of thought into each gift to make sure it is something the receiver will really love and appreciate because I love making people happy. I LOVE Christmas and I LOVE shopping but a lot of my gifts are homemade :-)
