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 11/21/2012!

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 diannep on November 13, 2012 at 12:45pm: pinkpuddles: Most all pass BattleStations the first time, but if someone doesn't (because they fell asleep, etc), then they will go again the next night, even if it is the night before PIR. They will then be at PIR in uniform, a sailor, tired.....but there! In that case (going the night before PIR), they usually sit in the balcony....rather than marching....although some in the past have managed to march... :-)

Comment by sws on November 13, 2012 at 12:39pm: gail - I callled RTC and Gulfport where my SR has orders to attend A school.

I am so excited!

I am so sorry that there seems to be an issue for some of you with the guest list. I hope that you guys get it worked out.

I look foward to meeting you guys there.

Comment by djp on November 13, 2012 at 12:15pm: Who do we need to call to comfirm who is on the list and that our names are spelled correctly? Please advise

Comment by gail on November 13, 2012 at 12:13pm: Mas - did you get to talk to someone? Where is your sailor flying to? Mine is to GulfPort and I would like to know too when she flies out. Sure hoping it is Friday, but sounds like it will be 11/21. If anyone here's anything please let me know. Thank you.

Comment by sws on November 13, 2012 at 12:11pm: While you are calling to find out if the age for children to attend is 2 or 12, you may also want to ask if your SR is one of those scheduled to fly to A school on 11/21 so you know how much time you have with your SR.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 13, 2012 at 11:21am: What a mess this is turning into!!!!

I am so sorry you all are having to go through this.
