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 diannep on November 8, 2011 at 9:06am: Ruth, you are very welcome!

Good morning, everyone!

Comment by diannep on November 8, 2011 at 9:06am: Sailor Mom and Proud: When they are on leave, they need not be in uniform. But on liberty after PIR, yes, uniform is required. When they report to A School or duty station, they must be in uniform.

momshousedivided: The MeetNGreet is for all attending PIR the next day, whether N4Moms members or not. So you will meet Navy families who have never heard of this site. DO SHARE! Can you imagine going through this w/out N4Moms? Many are very appreciative to find out about this site for their sailor's continuing journey through school and then duty stations. As you all have found out, there is such wonderful support here!

Comment by RuthL on November 8, 2011 at 8:53am: Diannep@ Thanks for the encouraging words. It means alot.

Comment by RuthL on November 8, 2011 at 8:31am: FireTeamLeader Wife@ I teach 6th grade. Any info would be great. My classes are going through the process with me.

Craig@ Great Trivia question. It is posted on the board and ready to go for the day!

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 8, 2011 at 7:27am: Good info for the meet & greet. Are they Division specific? When I went to our's for our older son last year one of the moms from the mom's site made everyone name tags with their username from our site so we could recognize each other. great way to put faces to names. Our meet & greet was platoon spec. so it was a little easier, but all they same really nice.

Ok- here's today's funny--

I could not resisit a little Maxine this AM.

Comment by Phil's_mom on November 8, 2011 at 6:57am: I heard when on liberty, they must be in full uniform in public. What about when they are on leave for a few days?

Then everyone from this group may go there to RSVP for this M & G.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 8, 2011 at 12:43am: Ramada Meet and Greet

Hi everyone!

I'd like to invite someone from this group add the RAMADA Meet N Greet to Events.

All you have to do is click on the “Events” tab up at the top.

Then everyone from this group may go there to RSVP for this M & G. ANYONE may attend...the Ramada does this for every PIR group as a courtesy, it is free. Those staying at the Ramada will get a voucher for two free drinks and they have a cash bar. They do not mind if you bring in a water or soft drink with you. The RSVP just helps them get a head count so they know how much food to prepare. But I am sure they make a bit extra!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 8, 2011 at 12:22am: RuthL - What age are your kiddos again? I did a research on the ships that the "Ships" at RTC are named for. Someone asked for CVN Numbers and that got me going! I wasn't sure of the ACTUAL ship sometimes...for example there have been five Tritons...so I looked up all that I could! Would you like me to post it...it's kinda fun for us big kids too!

Great Video Craig!

Comment by Craig on November 7, 2011 at 11:28pm: RuthL - Here is a test you can give your students. Most people don't know this. In fact I bet 85% of the Navy veterans don't know this....

Question:

Where is the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) stationed? (there is only one logical answer)

A. Norfolk VA

B. Everett WA

C. San Diego CA

D. Honolulu HI

Answer: A - Norfolk VA

How do you know this? It's because all even numbered carriers are on the west coast, and all odd numbered are on the east coast.

CVN-65 Enterprise Home Port : Norfolk, VA.
CVN-68 Nimitz Home Port : Everett, WA.
CVN-69 Dwight D. Eisenhower Home Port : Norfolk, VA.
CVN-70 Carl Vinson Home Port : San Diego, CA.
CVN-71 Theodore Roosevelt Home Port : Norfolk, VA.
CVN-72 Abraham Lincoln Home Port : Everett, WA.
CVN-73 George Washington Home Port : Norfolk, VA.
CVN-74 John C. Stennis Home Port : Bremerton, WA.
CVN-75 Harry S. Truman Home Port : Norfolk, VA.
CVN-76 Ronald Reagan Home Port : San Diego, CA.

Now it's time to see the video about the USS Ronald Reagan
