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."

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 4, 2010 at 10:18am: Sharon what a great idea! Count me in

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 4, 2010 at 10:10am: Hey All, Lala Ribbon Queen makes ribbons for PIR. I have sent her a friend request and I know she is here with us. I was thinking if we all wanted to place an order for our group and we all wear them how awesome it would be. She will probably pop in here and let us know the info. Thanks Lala!!!!

Comment by Tobianne on October 3, 2010 at 9:30pm: Hi all yes we got a call also, of course after he called his girlfriend. That's fine with us. I did ask him about what his recruiter said to me about the A-1 compartment or address. He said mom he is crazy, we are an all male division. We do not have "any" females at all.
Our call was sad and then upbeat. He said it is a reality check, he is sorry for ever making fun of his sister when she called and cried. He was also tearing up. He is a section leader ad has passed everything so far. Said they will get weekly calls. Also that they have the same 87 they started with and yes that is amazing as by now they usually lose some. He told me he was not aware his sister had finished up and was so worried about her the past 2 weeks, now he knows and feels so much better.

Comment by Sheilah on October 3, 2010 at 9:22pm: Good Evening everyone, I to am so excited we got a phone call this afternoon. It sounds like everything is going well and Div 369 is a great group. I was so excited I forgot to ask what job he was assigned. It was wonderful to hear his voice, I feel a bit more relaxed. I laughed out loud when he told me he was yelled at for not making his bed correctly. I told him that should make him feel just like he was at home. Nothing but good things to say, a lot of hard work and they want him to succeed as much as he does, music to my "watched too many bad Lifetime movies" ears.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 3, 2010 at 9:21pm: WOW!! Many got calls today, awesome!! We didn't talk long because I knew he and his girlfriend needed to talk and they were able to chat for a little while which is good. They miss each other and we love her as our own so I am good with it. Kyle's dad didn't answer his phone, he is in San Francisco and was sightseeing and turned his phone off. He said we should get letters real soon though. That will be awesome, I am the one usually writing letters to my children, this will be a first that one of them write to me. Can't wait to get one!! Congrats on all the calls!!!

Comment by Mom from St Pete on October 3, 2010 at 9:20pm: Way to go Ship 11 Div 369.... Great news... Sorry about bad news Iowanavygf. I hope the days ahead are brighter for u.

Comment by Barbara on October 3, 2010 at 8:33pm: Hello everyone! I received my first call today from my son.........whoo hoo! He said things were going good. I was so excited. I was standing in Wal-Mart crying because it was so good to hear from him. I came home and reloaded the calling to card to make sure he has plenty of minutes to call his girlfriend and me.

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on October 3, 2010 at 8:32pm: No, from what I've read they may have different days to call. SO don't be discouraged!

Comment by letzfly Ship 11 Div 365 on October 3, 2010 at 8:27pm: I'm glad to hear the phone call are coming in finally! I sure wish they would give them the mail! Do they only get to call on Sundays? We're leaving for NYC Thursday, I'll have my cell but with AT&T you can't count on service anywhere!
We're going to a wedding and since Charlie couldn't go, I made a photo of his face on a stick to take along and photograph everywhere with us! I've seen others do it and we thought it'd be fun. We'll be over at the Today show on the 11th & 12th so if you watch you might see us!
It was so funny, when I finished it this morning, I took it out to show the kids and our dog Zeus, totally freaked out! He actually thought it was him for a minute! I wish I had that on video! Poor dog doesn't know what's going on!
