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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 9, 2011 at 10:06am: Good Morning diannep and Navy moms/wives/gf's. I hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday.

Comment by diannep on November 9, 2011 at 9:02am: Good morning, all. I added a BattleStations discussion group up top. Take time to familiarize yourself with their final test!

Ruth, I agree with Lala. Some RDCs do not want the SRs getting "outside" news and will tell them so. So I would print it on paper, like Lala said, and see if that is ok. Many RDCs don't mind them receiving this, as long as it is positive news...no negative news! :-) They need to maintain their focus!

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 9, 2011 at 6:53am: Yeah!!!! It's Wednesday!!!!

Oh, it's home again and home again, America for me!
I want a ship that's westward bound to plough the rolling sea
To the blessed land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
~Henry Van Dyke

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 8, 2011 at 9:33pm: It should be fine to print it and send it. They just don't like newspaper clippings.

Comment by RuthL on November 8, 2011 at 9:03pm: This might sound like an odd question, but can we send our recruits news articles off the internet? My daughter is a HUGE Penn State fan and an even bigger Joe Paterno fan. She was at the game the week before she left. If there is anything she would be interested in hearing about it would be that story. I thought I could just print the article off and send it with my letters.

Comment by Michelle02 on November 8, 2011 at 5:40pm: Betsy.mom thanks for the Sarge info, I will definitly be calling him. I think that I would like to meet him! what a great service

Comment by diannep on November 8, 2011 at 4:22pm: Sarge's rates are alot cheaper than a taxi from the Chicago airport for returning sailors to A School...and they love him since he is 20 years retired Army, has been in that area for a LONG time, and loves the sailors!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 8, 2011 at 2:45pm: Michelle, Sarge runs a cab (shuttle) from the hotels to RTC. Many of the families hire him for PIR day. I personally did not use his services, but only because we had rented a car. I do know that everyone who has hired him, just loves him. I believe that he is retired military and is great with the sailors and their families. He has also recently started a Meet & Greet of his own. I would recommend that you call him and I bet that he will probably know exactly how much the fare is from GL to the airport.

Comment by Michelle02 on November 8, 2011 at 2:06pm: Thanks for the info Betsy mom I'm not familiar with"Sarge" I haven't heard his name before, who is?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 8, 2011 at 1:22pm: Dang…I’m getting lost!
