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."

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 8, 2010 at 8:34pm: Did anyone get ribbons today?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 8, 2010 at 8:33pm: 1 more BC to go is correct, You do not need tickets, and even if you are not on the list you can still get in. You may have to wait on everyone who is on the list to get in but they let you in after that. We had 13 divisions graduating and we took 4 extra people and they all got in with no problem. If you don't end up with a parking pass you can always take a shuttle from your hotel. No pass needed if you take the shuttle.

Comment by Valerie (Brittany's Mom) on December 8, 2010 at 7:24pm: Cricket,
If your son said you are on the list, then all you need to have is a picture ID to get into PIR; tickets are not issued. The parking pass will be available 11 days before PIR on the RTC website. There was a form letter sent out to families at the beginning of bootcamp, that should have the names of (4) people your recruit would like to come to PIR, as well as the password to get the parking pass. Without that password, you won't be able to access the parking pass. You might be able to private message someone in your division for the password. My daughter graduated 11/05 and her best friend is graduating with your son. Good luck to you... enjoy the PIR, it is an awe inspiring event.

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 8, 2010 at 5:37pm: ctownnavymom, in the letter I received yesterday from my son, I believe his division are undergoing the gas chamber today. Yes, I am wearing my pink scarf. Look forward to seeing you on the 22nd.
