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 Kellyd on October 27, 2012 at 9:14pm: Yeah Ctownmom! I am so happy that got a call. I am sure you will sleep better. I did after my son called last week?

Angelfire, my son is in the same ship/division. Hang in there, we are almost there.

Comment by Ctownmom (Ship 13, Div 011) on October 27, 2012 at 8:27pm: Call tonight from my SR in division 11....So happy that I was able to get his call. It has been over a month since I heard his voice..Hoping for a good night sleep tonight. I hope everyone get more calls and letters.

Have a good night.

Comment by Kathy on October 27, 2012 at 6:21pm: My call came tonight from my SR so good to hear his voice!!! We spoke for awhile he sounds good!!! Said has not been able to mail any letters, but will as soon as he can. Also they are coming together as a Div. Thank God for letting me not miss my call!!!

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2012 at 4:18pm: Update on Brett: He is no longer sedated and is starting to respond to those around him. Still on the ventilator so can't talk, but can nod yes and no, grimace in frustration, and tears flow down his cheeks sometimes---he is responding to talk especially from his wife and brother.... More surgery on Monday...he is fighting his restraints (restrained because his stomach incision is still open as is his leg incision--lots of tubes...important to be still). He is still strong and fighting to live. Still critical (11 days now) but making great progress. Thanks for the prayers and please continue!

Came across this picture of Brett (7 yrs old) meeting my sailor son (5 days old) for the first time. They are now 33 and 26! That is Brett's mom and sister with them in the pik. Our families go back to my parents being best friends with Brett's grandparents since they were teens! Still are to this day....

Comment by angelfire430 on October 27, 2012 at 2:20pm: I've only posted here a few times. My life stays so busy that there isn't much time.

My son is on ship 13 div 15. I've gotten 3 letters from him so far, they are coming once a week. He stated that they can write/send and receive mail on Sundays, the exception would be if there were pictures included from home. So of course I include pictures in every letter I send him.

I missed his 3 week call. It took him 4 tries to get ahold of someone, his stepmom. I really hate that I missed that call! I guess I'll have to wait for the I'm a sailor call to speak to him.

Comment by angelfire430 on October 27, 2012 at 2:15pm: I saw a comment on here somewhere that their SR asked for Shampoo and conditioner, if it was a guy then it had to be a joke!

Comment by Julia on October 27, 2012 at 10:43am: Good Morning to you diannep27. I made Thanksgiving reservations at Chessie's. They have a 1 and 3 pm seating. Does anyone know how far it is from base? They said maybe 45 minutes in rush hour.

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2012 at 10:11am: Good Morning !

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2012 at 11:52pm: We don't think so, but at this point, I would call Public Affairs to make sure.... 847-688-2405

Comment by Pattynfun on October 26, 2012 at 9:47pm: Also retired military and veterans do not have to have their name on the list. So my daughter who is 9 in my husband who is retired military should not have to have your name on the list. That did not changed did lt?
