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 TO PIR 06/29/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by BJA57 on May 18, 2012 at 3:03pm: Idea for a letter to SR--- favorite song lyrics or one that means something to them. Just sent mine off..... bummer that my life isn't exciting enough to report in 2 weekly letters ;)

have wonderful weekends!! TGIF!!

Comment by ReneeBC on May 18, 2012 at 12:16pm: Juliebelle28,

The laptop is on my to-do list late this summer, but first comes a new laptop for my SR as a PIR grad gift. I am also getting him a GPS for his A school grad gift. He wanted one for his birthday in October, but I am making it more of a symbolic gift...so he can always find his way home to me. Then, I can buy a laptop for myself. :)

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2012 at 8:12am: leftwayleft: So sorry about the missed call. Must have been an "need info" call if no message was left. They usually can't leave messages when they make these "supervised" calls for info. Hopefully, your SR will call back.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 18, 2012 at 7:20am: Good morning!! 6 more Fridays!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Comment by ReneeBC on May 17, 2012 at 7:53pm: juliebelle28- We have a brand new desktop, but haven't purchased a laptop yet. (We were busy buying them for kids!)

Sue- So excited for you! I hope your SR is doing well.

Comment by Sue (Ship 11 Div 195) on May 17, 2012 at 7:41pm: Got my first letter today from my son. So happy!!! Can't wait for June 29th.

Comment by ReneeBC on May 17, 2012 at 6:56pm: I would pay whatever the price tag said for high speed internet! When I talk to my three year old grandaughter on the phone she runs to the computer and says, "Let's Skype, Grandma!" Then, her mother says, "This is mommy's mommy. She isn't the Skype-Grandma." Now I have a son who's face I want to be able to see, too. grrr.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 17, 2012 at 6:51pm: lol juliebelle, I bet it was hard for them to understand how that could work.

Comment by mom of 11 ship 04 div 814 on May 17, 2012 at 6:15pm: Does anyone on here have a son in DIV 814?? I know someone started a fb page, (that I hope is down now :-D,) but no one is posting on the discussion for 814. A couple veteran moms are, which I appreciate, but it would be wonderful to talk to moms who currently have sons in 814.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 17, 2012 at 6:14pm: Skype is AWESOME, If you don't have it on your computer you should get it. Of course you need a webcam but most newer computers have one. It is a free download. We SKYPE with our Sailor about once a week. We SKYPED with her on Christmas and watched her open all her gifts and she got to see and talk to all 22 family members that were at our house for Christmas. Of course it would have been nice if she could have been home but it was so much better than a phone call. We even SKYPE sometimes during our favorite TV show so it is like we are watching it together :-)
