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 Mom3(Ship 13-Div 011) on October 25, 2012 at 8:24pm: Letter today!! Ship-13 Div-011, their division finally got a flag! not sure what that is but must be good;) He states the division is finally coming together. Wants his own underwear:))

Comment by diannep on October 25, 2012 at 8:07pm: Private showers after PIR are one of the top requests! My son thoroughly enjoyed his back in our room....then popped that uniform right back on!

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on October 25, 2012 at 7:38pm: Ctownmom, a shower in private! really, I bet my son wants that too! lol Glad ya'll heard from him! :-)

Comment by Ctownmom (Ship 13, Div 011) on October 25, 2012 at 7:37pm: Found out tonight that my SR's GF received a letter today...Thank God !!! He sounds upbeat and would really like to take a shower in private. Not that it's going to happen any time soon.

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on October 25, 2012 at 7:25pm: wow...ya'll are awesome! :-) Kellyd, can you message me...with details?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 25, 2012 at 7:17pm: Take her up on it SailorMom59! LOL It's still about a 1.8 miles from the Navy Lodge to RTC. Then the walk into PIR.

The Navy Lodge does not have a Shuttle service but you may call Sarge. It's a very low fee ( I want to say like $3, vet moms a little help?).

SARGE AT 847-212-0246

He is a lifesaver to the Sailors in Gl and to all the families attending PIR that use his taxi service!

Comment by Kellyd on October 25, 2012 at 7:07pm: Hey Sailor mom 59. Did you get my comment that I posted on your page. We are driving from Columbia, SC and you can ride with us.

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on October 25, 2012 at 6:56pm: Thank you, debnchris! I have great friends who are working on plans to get me up there....and I'm hoping to stay as close as I can to the barracks...within walking distance since I won't have a car. Maybe the Navy Lodge. :-)

Comment by debnchris on October 25, 2012 at 6:54pm: SailorMom59 I am happy that you received your letter today. It sure makes the day nicer.. Did you find a place to stay yet at the PIR?
