DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

WELCOME TO PIR 10/26/2012!

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 amaris on September 13, 2012 at 11:10pm: no letter for me again today....hopefully tomorrow or the next day. my boy wasnt much of a talker so hopefully he'll write even if it just says hi mom i love you.....

Comment by Adzac620Ship 9 div 346 on September 13, 2012 at 10:13pm: Hi Totopogo.. I did call his recruiter and he said not to worry..no news was good news. He said if there was a problem we would know right away. I just want to make travel plans. I also can't wait for a letter from him too

Comment by Totopogo (Son is a GM) on September 13, 2012 at 9:46pm: Hi Adzac, although I have no experience to draw on, I am sure that everything is fine; I am going with the theory that no news is good news, but I can certainly understand your concern; perhaps you can contact the recruiter and see if he/she can offer some assistance?

Comment by corbie (Ship 12 Div 047) on September 13, 2012 at 9:40pm: another day without a letter...on the upside another day closer to PIR

Comment by Soccer Mom of 3 on September 13, 2012 at 9:38pm: We received letters today, one for each of us in our family and my sister just called to say she received one also. My Daughter said they are getting sleep from 2200 to 0600 and that the food was good. She said there were 80 female in a compartment and they were 17-39 years old. My daughter did ask for small photos, so we will be sending them in the next couples of days. She also said they were having there first baseline PFA on Tuesday. Glad to hear others got there loved one's letter also.

Comment by Adzac620Ship 9 div 346 on September 13, 2012 at 9:33pm: Hi Totopogo..I am worried that I have not received my form letter...I hope it comes tomorrow.

Comment by ZeeKittiKat Ship2Div950 on September 13, 2012 at 9:30pm: Thanks Diannep!!!

Comment by Totopogo (Son is a GM) on September 13, 2012 at 9:28pm: Hi Adzac, my son is in the same division as your recruit, and we received the form letter last week. However, we have not received a personal letter yet. Anxiously checking the mailbox everyday of course!

Comment by diannep on September 13, 2012 at 9:10pm: CHall...if you are speaking of their Navy headshot/division photographs...they can pay for them and give them to you at PIR....or pay for them and mail them to you....or not pay for them and you can pay/pick them up at the NEX after PIR.

Comment by ZeeKittiKat Ship2Div950 on September 13, 2012 at 7:55pm: So when were their PIR pictures that they take in week 3 become available to buy?? do you have to wait till PIR??
