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."

My son PIR was 1-10-14 and is still on hold, because they don't have enough QM's to fill a class He said they have not told him when his classes will start. I hope he will find out something soon. Tomorrow will make a month that he has been in holding.

Navymom, my son is also housed in USS Wisconsin with QM rate and 1-10 PIR. He said he did get his classes I don't know if that means he is on hold or not. Hhhmmm.

My sailor just started A school for QM. just wanted to say hi to anyone still active in this group. This rate seems to be rare and a bit mysterious. I have questions but don't want to bother people! Is anyone out there?

Hi all! My son's PIR is 9/20/13, and his rating is QM. I am very nervous about him liking the job. What are his options on where he can be stationed. Does anyone have any idea what exactly QM's do? In civilian terms. Lol!
