WELCOME to PIR 11/16/2012

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 DebbiL on September 28, 2012 at 1:21pm: Someone please remind me... what do you call the "drill instructors" for Navy BC?

Comment by Erika314 on September 28, 2012 at 10:34am: Good morning, tonight is homecoming night at my SR's high school. My daughter is a senior and will be cheering. It's also alumni night, so it will be tough without my son

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 28, 2012 at 9:59am: Good morning everyone, hopefully there will be some form letters arriving today and over the next couple of days. I know it is so hard waiting. The not knowing what was happening was one of the hardest things for me.

Comment by Harleymom1346 on September 28, 2012 at 7:02am: Morning Mom's! Still no form letter from Zach.. It's been a crazy week in our house hold but I am holding up. Hopefully day we get that letter! I have never wanted the mail man to come so bad in my life! Ha

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
