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."

The price of the piks depends on what pkg he orders. Pkg A seems to be the popular one...because it includes The Keel (a kind of yearbook) for free if the SR orders it. It used to be $140--maybe still is?. The PIR DVD can be ordered by him also...it was $29. If you want to check the prices before you write him, here is Photographic Services phone number:

Comment by Sparkling on August 15, 2011 at 11:20am: I got the email Dianne, thank you for all that you do to keep us sane! ;)

Janie

Comment by Sparkling on August 15, 2011 at 11:14am: Dianne, do you know how much the pictures and the DVD are? I'll put this info in a letter to my son today and make sure he has it all ordered so I can pay for it when I get there.

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2011 at 11:11am: You're welcome, Sandi!

Ladies, I think I will go ahead and send out the BattleStations schedule again "Message to Group" so hope all have their settings set to receive this. I still don't have a date for 941 but believe I have it narrowed down to 2 dates.

I will send this out now...please check your PERSONAL EMAIL (not N4M email) to find it.

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2011 at 11:09am: Debera: That would be a great idea!...in the meantime, for those who can't go and also for those who want a wonderful momento. be sure you order the PIR DVD (if your SR didn't order it for you). You can do this after PIR in the NEX.

Comment by Sparkling on August 15, 2011 at 10:33am: No call for use but I did get a letter on Sat which was dated 8/8. He thought he'd be calling ;) We stayed home all day yesterday waiting! lol. He sounds good. I am debating on whether or not to take the shuttle from the Ramada on the day of graduation instead of driving. What would you suggest? Then our son can come back with us via the shuttle and get the car at the motel. I just want to make it as easy as possible on my husband. He did tell me in the letter he thought he'd be leaving Sat morningg arounf 1am to fly out. So I will keep our reservation to fly back home on Sat morning.

Comment by Brenda72 on August 15, 2011 at 10:26am: I know...haven't talked to my son either since 25 of July....his last letter was to his sisters and I had to find out thru my sister that he had changed jobs. I don't know anything....lol

Comment by Debera1952 (SR Kyles Mom) on August 15, 2011 at 10:07am: What would be great is if somehow someway a live feed could be streamed to people who aren't able to attend their SR's graduation. It could be password protected and just really a great idea I thought. But it's just a thought.

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2011 at 8:31am: Text from my sailor son last night: "Just want you to know that I will take care of you when you are old." HA! I asked if that meant changing diapers, and his reply:

"Don't push it."

He is a funny guy! :-)

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2011 at 8:30am: The sailors who had watch at RTC were the ones held over the weekend. This may be old info now, but when my SR PIRed, there were ones flying out who didn't leave until the next week. Many times, they did have "watch" over the weekend. Good to know that none would have watch on PIR day!
