DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

I just spoke to the Public Affairs Office 1-847-688-2405, she confirmed that Div. 091 PIR date is 3/11 not 3/4 you will need a new password to get your passes.  She was very helpful and courteous and gave me a new password when I spoke with her.  Hope this helps clear up the confusion we have all felt since getting our form letters.

Thanks Carol, When I talked to the Public Affairs Office they never said anything about getting a new password.  I am wondering if they are going to send out letters regarding this mix up.  I am thinking of all the loved ones that don't know about Navymoms that could get this information.

 

I know how you feel Jean.  I found the site by accident and am eternally grateful that I did.  I have been reading and following every link I thought might be helpful.  Hopefully other families will be informed either from the recruits or the Navy.

=/ Now I'm sad, I was so excited because the 4th was the day before our one year anniversary. Do I need to call the Public Affairs Office to get the password or will I get a call from my husband? Or can he just send me the password in a letter?

I got the password from the Public Affairs Officer who confirmed that there had been a mistake on the PIR date.  Originally we had received 3/4 as the PIR date so when I called to get confirmation of the date they told me that I needed  a new password and then told me what it was.  I don't know whether your husband will be able to supply the information or not. 
Okay rhanks!
thanks for the info.
Our son is in this group too! The password and other information came with the form letter that we got from our son.
 Hi Scott's mom, If your form letter had the correct PIR date then the password would be correct, but if the form letter had the incorrect PIR date ...which happened to many of us in this group... then the password is incorrect and you will have to ck with your son or the Public affairs Office to get the correct one.  Hopefully yours was correct.
When I got a PHONE CALL!!! yesterday from my son he told me that they were sending out new form letters with the correct info and password.
When I talked to Public Affairs they told my son would have to give me the new password. So hopefully they will be sending out the correct info
