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 tina41 on August 8, 2011 at 6:49am: good morning everyone!!! i wish everyone a very good monday my children dont start school till the 24th

Comment by angelle3 (Ship 12 / Div 310) on August 8, 2011 at 6:44am: Good Morning PIR 9/16 sisters! 38 days and counting!!! My youngest two start high school this morning so lots going on here! I appreciate ya'll so much!

Comment by diannep on August 7, 2011 at 9:23pm: anita:: It really is a matter of choice for each family on where to sit. Some insist on the front row...the other most coveted place seems to be the top row, where you have the concrete wall to lean against. My older son and I sat in the middle of our section and could see quite well. If you get there early, you can try out several different places! Betsy gave a great description of the setup there! I didn't see my sailor for the entire PIR....buried in the masses! I had to wait for the PIR DVD to see him.

Also, Lala always reminds you all to experiment with your camera in there while waiting. Most of our pictures came out dark because we didn't do this.... :-(

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 7, 2011 at 8:52pm: Betsy, thank you very much for this information. I'm sure it will be very helpful for others on this page. My concern is my daughter is in 02/944 and as of yet I have no idea what she is doing. I've been told that those in a 900 division are performers and so I'm guessing she will not be situated in a group as the other divisions will be. Once again, thank you very much for this information. I guess there will be a place for 02/944's guest :-)

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 7, 2011 at 8:49pm: Trav's Mom - according to Ramada Inn, it is from 6pm - 8pm

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 7, 2011 at 8:28pm: anita, there will be placards with each division's number on it. They are in front of where your sailor's division will be standing. You can then sit in the section of bleachers directly in front of your sailor. If you can ask your SR ahead of time, I would ask which row and how far back they are in the line. I was sitting directly in front of the line that my sailor was in, and their line was standing so dern straight that I actually couldn't see him. I only saw hats and bodies, but no faces except the first row. I knew that he had to be in that first line of sailors, because I could every single sailor's face except that first row. Binoculars are also a big help in finding your loved one.

Comment by Pennie on August 7, 2011 at 8:24pm: Just booked my hotel for PIR at the Ramada. Only 39 days to go! Each day we get a little bit closer.

Comment by Trav'smom 07/303 on August 7, 2011 at 8:21pm: Just book our flights and Hotel soooo excited what time is the meet and greet?

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 7, 2011 at 7:52pm: Diannep - where do you recommend to sit during PIR? Do you get to choose where you sit or do they instruct you? Just wondering.
