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 Phil's_mom on December 1, 2011 at 11:01am: It's December everyone yippee!!!!! Never have I been this excited for December especially since I live in the Midwest. But I am!!!! C'mon 29th!

Comment by Batmansmom531 on December 1, 2011 at 10:49am: Good morning everyone, we are booked at the Navy Lodge, however, still unsure if we are flying or driving. I'm deathly afraid to book a flight, then have it cancelled due to inclement weather and end up driving anyway...flights are getting more expensive....ay ay ay....what to do??

Comment by ArNavyMom on December 1, 2011 at 10:20am: @ diannep - YES! We are actually staying at the Marriott Residence Inn for that reason - the suite. I couln't believe how expensive car rental is in Chicago. I rent thru Dollar for all my business travel nation wide but not for this - it was going to be $149 p/day for a mini-van. Rented thru Ace Rental. Only $268 for 3 days.

@ all - HAVE A WONDERFUL THURSDAY! We are getting closer to 12/29. Praying for you and your RC.

Comment by diannep on December 1, 2011 at 9:13am: Hotel reservations made for everyone by now, right? If not, get to it! Some hotels book up, especially those with the larger suites (like Residence Inn Waukegan). Liberal cancellation policies so no problem with changes/cancellations when you book direct.

Comment by diannep on December 1, 2011 at 9:10am: momshousedivided. I too love the quote. Hope that you are wide eyed and busy tailed today!

Good morning, everyone!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 1, 2011 at 3:16am: momshousedivided2 - Love the quote!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 30, 2011 at 10:38pm: I just added a questionnaire to the discussions above that has a very encouraging paragraph about battle stations. This will be a good time to send it. My Sailor is a girl so you may have to tweak it a little before you send it. I hope you like it :-)

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 30, 2011 at 10:30pm: Hey y'all. I think I finally hit the "wall" after the holiday. I was so sleepy this Am that I went right back to bed after the hubby left for work and was rushing to get ready n out the door by 7 this morning. Draggin booty all day- now I am wide awake and wishing that I wasn't. haha! Hoping a little Pinot and some light jazz will slow my roll. chuckle chuckle. Praying that the kiddos that are going throught Hell week are kick'in hiney and making names for themselves in a great way. Just a few more days then our initial worry is over.

here ya go---

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 30, 2011 at 10:00pm: Just a heads up on the ribbons you guys have been ordering to wear to PIR. All the ribbons that I have received payments for were shipped today. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive. I know you will all wear them with pride when you see your Sailors. If anyone else would like more info on ordering the ribbons just send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks so much :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2011 at 1:46pm: Craig, I wish I had known you when we bought our son a $1200 gaming computer last Christmas Well, at least we did buy it on Black Friday and got a good deal on it.

We got our sailor a new camera for graduation, but it was only $150. Our sailor graduated from BC a week before Christmas, so we didn't feel too obligated to buy him something, since Christmas was right around the corner. He did upgrade his cell phone while we were in GL, but he paid for that himself.

I totally agree about the NEX prices on electronics. I have been to NEX's in 3 different states and their prices on electronics are very expensive. We have never bought anything electronic at the NEX. You can get better deals in the stores.
