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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 22, 2012 at 4:25am: Happy Thanksgiving!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 22, 2012 at 4:23am: I am reposting this here as mollybub has made a Discussion to see if anybody has a clue:

(as far as Liberty Pick up time)

Is he at GL for A school? Or is he staying at RTC?

You may just have to plan on "early" and wait and see.

Hmmmm, if he is at RTC, I am wondering how they ae working that with the Adopt-A-Sailor Pick ups.

Anybody have a clue for either base?

Comment by dannysmom on November 21, 2012 at 11:37pm: after having a fabulous morning with our sailor, even hung out for a bit after graduation. he went on the bus at 12 to check into A school, then called us and said to meet him at the gate between 3:30 and 4pm. well nearly TWO hours later, waiting outside where it was now cold and dark and we hungry and have a cab waiting, our sailor eventually comes, well we just wondering what happened there, he taxi driver said that was unusual

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 21, 2012 at 11:08pm: mollybub - I am guessing he was not told :-(. Just be prepared for early. Does he have a calling card still?

Comment by debnchris on November 21, 2012 at 11:07pm: mas - so sorry that you were not here today. It was very nice. But, on the other hand, God does work in strange ways. I am glad that you received your pictures. I am sure that made your day. God Bless you and your SR. I hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Comment by sws on November 21, 2012 at 10:42pm: Prayers answered. Today was difficult missing PIR and missing my sailor really wished I could see him today. My wish came true when I got home from work today…not the way I imagined but it totally made my day. My sailor’s pictures came in the mail and I got to see him after all!

Thank you for all your prayers. I will never underestimate prayers from Navy Moms.

TiagosMoms12, Ctownmom, and SailorMom59 – Thank you all for your support and helping me make it through the day.
