OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 11/09/2012!

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 TUSmom on October 23, 2012 at 4:40pm: Yay!! I just got a call from my SR. It was so awesome to hear his voice. It had been since he left Sept 12th since I heard it last. He sounded so good, says he is enjoying bootcamp now which is a big change from his letters.

Comment by Benice661 on October 23, 2012 at 4:16pm: That was a good question about the shuttle that I didn't even think about. Thanks for the reply Lala. I tell you this site is GREAT!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 23, 2012 at 3:09pm: Thanks JH4JH, I look forward to it :-)

Mary123, I am so sorry he won't get to go to your other SR's PIR. I wish they would. I know it will be hard to be there and not get to see your other recruit. Have they ran into each other at all since they have been there?

The shuttles will make several trips back to the hotels. You will have plenty of time and your Sailor can ride most of them back with your for free :-)

Comment by ProudStepMom (Ship 11 DIV 364) on October 23, 2012 at 2:01pm: Does anyone know, by taking the hotel shuttles will we still have time to locate our SR after the ceremony and spend a few minutes before we have to get back on the shuttle to the hotel? Sounds like the shuttle is the way to go but don't want to be left stranded ;-)

Getting close! SO excited!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 23, 2012 at 12:21pm: Mary123- No, I'm afraid they won't.

Comment by Mary123Sons on October 23, 2012 at 10:18am: Do any of you veteran moms know if they will let my SR PIR 11/30 graduation date attend my SR PIR 11/09 graduation?

Comment by JH4JH on October 23, 2012 at 9:39am: Thank you Lala. Will get them ordered today. What a nice way to show our support.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 23, 2012 at 9:01am: JH4JH, Thanks so much for your interest in the ribbons. It is not too late to order. Send me a friend request and I will send you the link to my website. there is also a link on my page here if you click on my pic it will take you to my page and the link is in the "About Me" section. you can also email me at uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2012 at 8:22am: JennyM'sMom: My guess is that this group has not yet finalized their lists, but may very soon. I'm wondering if you should call the Public Affairs Office and explain to them what is going on with the uncertainty on when your baby may come? Hopefully, they will tell you that if you you can make it, you can substitute in. What a mess....hoping that this new "rule" changes back! We can only hope!

Good Morning All!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 11:43pm: Jenny M's Mom - Recruits send the final list 10-14 days before PIR. Don't know the actual date. Hope you can get it worked out...so sorry. Hope you are doing well! :-)
