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 DebbieH on November 8, 2012 at 2:46pm: KristineLynn: So will we, so I am hoping the call will come earlier in the day on the 19th. His younger brother is the only one flying a day later so he may get the call instead.

Comment by KristineLynn on November 8, 2012 at 2:10pm: Praying I'm a sailor calls come before the 19th because I will be on a plane flying to Chicago!!!!

Comment by collinsnavygirlsmomSHIP14,DIV013 on November 8, 2012 at 2:01pm: djp: thanks for your response, but I think we are gonna just wait it out...since it is soooo close to graduation. We want to be with her when we give her the news.

Comment by collinsnavygirlsmomSHIP14,DIV013 on November 8, 2012 at 1:58pm: jenniferb: I think it depends on which division your SR is in. Our last phone from our SR said that her next and only phone call would be on November 19th ;)

Comment by jenniferb on November 8, 2012 at 1:53pm: Hello Ladies! Can't believe we're nearing the end. Thank you LORD! Diannep - you're going to get as many hugs as our SRs!! Diannep - do you know what we can bring to our SRs after PIR? (for instance, cell phone, laptop, socks, underwear, clothing, sneakers) If allowed, I'll pack that kind of stuff. I didn't think they were allowed to have anything until well into A School. Does anyone know when we will get the I'm A Sailor call? Probably later next week right? Everyone enjoy your day....we're almost there!

Comment by debnchris on November 8, 2012 at 12:51pm: Good Morning Ladies... Welcome November 8th another day closer to November 21st..

Comment by bayoukat110 on November 8, 2012 at 12:20pm: Its been two weeks now since I received a letter from my Sr. The last one was just a few sentences long. He told me he was very busy and didn't have a lot of free time but did say he loved me. Very disappointed today!

Comment by djp on November 8, 2012 at 12:14pm: It was on Ebay for for Ship 02 USS Reuben James Division 902 paid approximately 19.99 for them. Order on a Saturday and was here on a Tuesday. They are very nice and heavy.

Comment by pinkpuddles on November 8, 2012 at 11:05am: DJP - how do you get a coin for your sons division?

Comment by djp on November 8, 2012 at 10:24am: collinsnavygirlsmomship14Div13

We had family member pass away and we went thru the Red Cross to get a message to our son. It was 2 weeks into BC. I was glad we did because he did get to call home. We told them (Red Cross) that he was not to come home but just to get the message to him. They would not tell him, they would only tell him that something has happenend in your family and they want to let you know. Very Good about it.
