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."

Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 13, 2011 at 9:19pm: Good Evening! Sorry I'm late Folks!

Comment by diannep on December 13, 2011 at 9:03am: Ok, thanks, Craig. But he could be my sailor's twin!

Suggestion: Ladies, be asking your SRs what they want you to bring to PIR for them to use there and/or take to A School. Start the list now. Some like a few civilian clothes to lounge around in the room in (full uniform outside at all times). Cells, laptops, ipods, etc...they have Navy-issued backpacks now so may have some room to take these items.

momshousedivided: LOVE your gift suggestions. Isn't it amazing how we think of "gifts" as ones with monetary value...but the greatest gifts we can give have no monetary value...but are so much more meaningful! We may not remember monetary gifts given to us over the years, but we will remember time spent together in special ways.

Prayers for the 4 soldiers killed near Tacoma in the 2-helicopter crash. May the Lord bless their families/friends during this awful tragedy.

Good morning everyone!

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on December 13, 2011 at 8:19am: you and me both- maybe even an assistant or two!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 13, 2011 at 8:01am: I love the evolution one :-) I know I could use an extra dozen hands lol.

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on December 13, 2011 at 7:33am: Whoo Hoo 16 days and counting down!!! I know WE are ready but I do believe that our kiddos are just as ready. They still have soooooo much to do, learn and accomplish,but they are seeing that light in that tunnel growing bigger and bigger! I totally agree that the last few weeks, for us too, is just as nerve wracking as the first few. So much to do, plan, prepare, and accomplish before the BIG day. I think my check off list has changed each day if not each few hours. haha! Oh well! Tis' the way of moms. Y'all have a blessed day!

Here ya go--

If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? ~Milton Berle (couldn't resist)

Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. ~Oren Arnold

Comment by Craig on December 13, 2011 at 12:36am: Ruth - Too many people try to forget about the past by changing the name or playing down the event. We can never forget the past.

diannep - That picture was from TG33 (Great Lakes Centennial Group July 1st). Those gas masks make everyone the same, ie sailors! Woo-hoo!!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 12, 2011 at 11:54pm: Hi everyone, I hope you had a good day. Mine was very long lol. I sent a whole bunch of the PIR ribbons this afternoon. So if you have already placed your order and sent your payment your ribbons are probably on their way. Here is a pic so you can see how they look but this pic only has the ones who have the first name on them. If you are part of the orivate facebook page a different pic is posted there with more ribbons in it :-) This pic has 3 or 4 PIR groups represented. You still have time to place an order so if you want more info just send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com. But with your PIR getting close and the holidays coming you need to get a request to me ASAP. Thanks so much :-)

Comment by diannep on December 12, 2011 at 11:51pm: Ok, Craig. When was that pik taken? I swear...that looks like my sailor in the front row---1st one! Could the pik be close to 2 yrs old????

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 12, 2011 at 10:21pm: Ruth - You can go into the lab on PIR to order them. It can be crazy though. I bumped uyp the discussion for Photos...it has a lot of info. (I really need to wade through it and revise it...ugh).

Here is the number for the Photo lab though.

Call the NEX Photo Lab for more info on that: 1-847-578-6205
