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 Julia on November 10, 2012 at 11:18am: Good morning! 12 more days!

Comment by diannep on November 10, 2012 at 11:17am: To the ladies who requested BattleStations dates, I sent them to you in a friend request. Do NOT hit the "accept" icon or the info goes away!

Comment by collinsnavygirlsmomSHIP14,DIV013 on November 10, 2012 at 6:26am: FTLW and diannep: at first I thought you crying over her those glasses...I don't think those were military issued and I hope to god I did not have any part of that purchase.lol Her daddy even chuckled at the tissue grabbing sad face.

But on a more serious note, I'm sorry but I just had to do it. It's so hard to believe that our troops have been in the middle east for 22 years now...it really puts things into perspective. We did not have all of this wonderful technology, my hubs was notified via Red Cross telegram that our baby girl was born a month early...ugh. NO cellphone, NO digital pics, just letters from their commander telling us their location long after they were there.

Julia, she is so her father's daughter it is almost scary. She has one proud daddy, that is for sure!!
