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 11/16/2012

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 Karyn on November 9, 2012 at 5:45pm: Proud Mama of a Div 001 Sailor!!!

Comment by HeatherT(09/003) on November 9, 2012 at 5:39pm: Hooyah!! Hopefully getting my call soon!! So excited!! Congrats to all thoughts that have gotten Sailor calls!!

Comment by MrsH on November 9, 2012 at 5:38pm: I second that sabp26! Just got off the phone with SR! Thank you so much for all of your help ladies! I don't know what we would do without you;-) HOOYAH!!!!

Comment by Erika314 on November 9, 2012 at 5:35pm: My son is now a US Navy Sailor... Ship 9 Div 002 !!

He told his GF he got "best leader", any idea what that means?

Comment by diannep on November 9, 2012 at 5:24pm: Dina: They can do max 4 divisions at a time, but many times do only two or three (if 900 or 800 division joins a set of brother divisions) sometimes. I agree with SEA'smom. Don't think they will go on Veteran's Day since that is a very special military day.

We can't post on here when they actually go, by they way. RTC has asked us not to disclose BS dates publicly...but we can private message them. But although it has been reported to me that they are going two divisions at a time, that can change! So keep phones handy during the afternoons next week just in case!

Comment by sabp26 (Ship 09/14 Div 002) on November 9, 2012 at 4:24pm: Good afternoon everyone!! Just wanted to say thank you for being here even though I wasn't all the time!

MY SR IS A SAILOR!!!! HOOYAH!!!!

Just got off the telephone with him and wanted to share with you...

Comment by SEA's mom on November 9, 2012 at 1:24pm: Mikesmom- REALLY? that just stinks. And yes they do....

Comment by Dina0106 on November 9, 2012 at 1:20pm: Oh that's right.. that is when it will be observed. Well I guess it'll just have to be Thurs, if I actually am near the phone. I have a doctor's app and a class that I go to every Thurs evening, taking my final. I can't just have my cellphone going off.

Comment by DebbiL on November 9, 2012 at 1:16pm: Dianne - I keep forgetting how far Great Lakes is from O'Hare. :)

I'm sure this is true for everyone else: I am on pins and needles today, waiting for that call...

I am at work, but will be racing home just as soon as that last bell rings!

SEA's mom: We rented a car a few weekends ago, and there was a new rule that I'd never seen before (maybe it was just for that one rental company?). We needed to show a receipt that we filled up within 10 miles of the rental car return. I hope that's not the case, because as soon as you get that close to O'Hare, the prices really jump!
