OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Ok, Lisa. I have messaged NYRican to update you all when she can. With no "x's in the boxes for you other than your own posts, you are not officially an administrator yet.
By the way....Lala (below) creates LOVELY ribbons for you all to wear to PIR. Please visit her page and look at them. If you would like to order, comment on her page or message her on N4M's or at the email address she listed below. Lala was not around when my son went through so no ribbons for me! :-( But I understand that the pictures don't do them justice....they are even prettier "in person."

Hi everyone, I am Lala, some of you have already heard about me and sent me friend requests lol. I am a veteran mom like Diannep and JessicaB as well as several others. I am here to help answer questions and make this experience easier for you. We all have been where you are now and we understand how you feel more than anyone else ever could. There are no sill questions and it doesn't matter if we have answered the same question before. Ask anyway, we truly want to help. You can send me a friend request or if you prefer you can send me an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I look forward to getting to know you all. Welcome to the Navy Mom experience :-)

Diannep: I don't have the x's on any of the boxes other than my own posts.

I added a couple of discussions to the top with info. You may want to read the photo info and write to your SR suggesting what pkg to order. We suggest Pkg A, which includes the yearbook (The Keel) for free when your SR orders it(not free if you order this after PIR)...I believe it is $140. Be sure to order the PIR DVD as well....extra $29 but worth it.

No, Lisa, then she hasn't added you all officially yet. I should have been more clear that she had to do something through the computer. I know how overwhelming it is in the beginning! Hoping that she sees the instructions below. In the event she is not on today because she may have already left town, I will message them to her.
In the meantime, probably every day, just add the RTC TG (training group) number and divisions to the posts here for newcomers to see and realize they are part of this group. Although they will get the form letter that they are PIR 7/8, some aren't sure if their division is a part of this group if they don't see that others in that division have joined yet. Always better to have a list of the divisions at the top or at least on the posts until we can get it up there.
Feel better Joel's Rackie!

NYRican: You may have already left town, but if you check this before leaving...are you sure you added Joel's Rackie and SailorMom as administrators? They are having problems accessing control on this page. You would have needed to do the following from this page:
Click on "Options" at top right (next to "Invite+")
Click on "Manage Group Members"
A list will appear of all members in this group.
Click on the boxes in front of Joel's Rackie's and Sailor Mom's names
Then click on "Promote to Administrator" at the top of the list
That should do it! Thanks!

Diannep: Not sure if you saw my earlier post, It appears that neither Joel's Rackie or I have the co-administrator privileges to modify the title like you suggested. That's why I just added it to the comment line for now.

I don't see any "x" only on comments i posted., I don't think I'm co admin yet.

I'm so sick today. I don't think I could go work, I bet that the scheduler would get mad at me, i just took a two week vacation prior to Joel's BC. I'm so congested, I hope this is not a flu. Taking Robitussin CF and Tylenol. If only I could find the strength to make/buy chicken noodle soup!

SailorMom and Rackie: If you were added as administrators, you would see "x"s in all of the boxes on this main page. Do you see that? That would be so you can delete posts. Let me know and if you do, we can go from there! Otherwise, I will have to wait until NYRican returns.
