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 11/20/2012

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 SailorsMomShip12Div023 on October 20, 2012 at 5:13pm: I understand the multi military family. My father was in the Navy, of course my son is at RTC and my husband and I both were in the Army. Lots of bashing around here especially during the Army/Navy football game!

Comment by 1Sailor/1Marine on October 20, 2012 at 5:05pm: I am a multi-military family, too! Hubby was Air Force, first son to enlist went Marines and now I have a Sailor-in-Training. Have to speak very carefully about the various services around here!

Comment by Bugsmama on October 20, 2012 at 4:57pm: Hahaha ..Dianne that's too funny! Makes for great conversations at Thanksgiving tho!

My hubby is Marine Corps so we consider you all sorta like the military...LOL
You ALL are "traitorous" Hahaha...all kidding aside, We all are family and support one another and our service men and women here and abroad! OOHRAH...had to throw that in there! Hee hee hee..

Comment by diannep on October 20, 2012 at 3:35pm: Excellent recap, Jennifer! That is exactly right on the liberty after PIR.

What Craig did not disclose below...is that he has a "traitor" in his family. Yep, tha'ts right! His daughter went....get ready for this....AIR FORCE! How could that happen? :-) I think he still loves her though.... :-) And FTLW has an AF hubby....we love all of our military service personnel...every single one of them!

Comment by Craig on October 20, 2012 at 1:56pm: countrymom - The commissary is not on RTC. Here is the map of where it is:

Rosie - My sailor actually graduated 5 years ago, but I have a nephew that just went through last year. I actually run a website for deppers call NavyDEP.com. You've probably been to my website looking at what the recruits do day-per-day.

I also help out here at N4M with different questions. I am an expert in the Cryptologic field, so if any moms here have CT rating question, I will know them.

Comment by Jennifer on October 20, 2012 at 12:32pm: Beechtym, it depends, is your SR staying in GL, or heading to a different A school? If they're staying in GL, they usually move their things after PIR and then get liberty until the evening, and also day time liberty Sat/Sun. If they are heading to a different A school, then they will get liberty after PIR and possibly leave out Saturday which you can go to the airport with and spend time with them before they fly out.

This is what I've gathered from everyone on here, hope it helps!

Comment by Beechtym2 on October 20, 2012 at 11:57am: Does anyone know when we find out how much leave they get after pir....6 hrs or 2 days?

Comment by diannep on October 20, 2012 at 10:39am: Thanks, Betsy. Have fun today!

Comment by diannep on October 20, 2012 at 10:37am: I don't think so, countrymom. They are on the bases, but don't think so on the training base. Craig would know this. He has a diagram somewhere on this site of RTC.
