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."

Ooops, just had another thought.  I noticed that some of you have your SR in your profile pictures.  We have found that it's probably not a good idea to have a recent picture of them on the site.  The RDC's have been known to read the groups and I'm sure that you wouldn't want your SR to be singled out or harassed by something that the RDC may have seen on here.  It's just a precaution, just like not using their names on here.

A lot of the parents in our PIR group posted baby (or toddler) pictures of their SR's and it was fun to see how cute everyone was as babies.

mmiles, thank you for the warm welcome. I am actually one of our veteran moms as well and am here to offer help and support to you all, like Janlee, Lala, Dianne and JessciaB. It just takes me a little longer to catch up with the newer PIR groups. My son graduated from BC in December and is now in Pensacola, FL.
I did read back a few pages that you were wondering what the beeping was on the page. There is a live Chat down in the right corner and that beeping would be people posting on that.
I did also want to mention one thing that I had not seen on here and thought I would pass on the information If you had your SR on your car insurance, you may want to call your insurance company and have it suspended while they are in BC. We did that with my son and it saved us over $300 while he was away.

Hello All!!  Got home and as I watched my younger son run to the mailbox to see if our "letter" was there...I waited with baited breathe...YES we got the official letter!  It was mailed on April 11th and we got it today 14th, not a bad turnaround!!  So now I can make travel arrangements, since confirmed for PIR 6/3!!!  I even got a short message at the bottom! 
Letter and the Security call all in one day.....Smiling from ear to ear!!

I saw a you tube video of Battlestations 21. Go to you tube and search Battlestations and CNN. It's an amazing video and a real good look at what our kids will be going through!!
