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."

Bobbie--Regarding the cake at PIR...there could have been some somewhere, but I didn't see any! That being said, I pretty much had eyes for my Sailor and was also trying to herd the rest of the family so we didn't scatter. We walked out a back door and then went to the NEX to wait for our Sailor. If we had walked back through the museum or main entrance, perhaps there was cake there. Also, if your SR is an honor grad, they had a special reception prior to PIR for those families with their Sailors.

Our son was allowed to take his cell phone back to RTC with him Friday night so he called us from the airport on Saturday morning and told us which terminal they were in (2). If he couldn't have taken his phone, he could have used his calling card. We drove to the airport and he walked us up to the USO room, but it was packed. He dropped the backpack and totebag we brought him with his seabag. (Pretty cool sight seeing all the seabags, garment bags and handsome Sailors packing that area of the airport!) We quickly realized there would not be enough room for us (and 2 very active grandkids) so our Sailor walked around the airport with us. We jumped on the train/trolley and took it to Terminal 5 which has a food court and ate lunch together. Our son's plane didn't leave until 6 p.m., but there were too many of us to stay that long so we left mid afternoon and he went back to wait with his buddies. They had cookies, cards, games, reading material, ps3/xbox, etc. for them in the USO. We didn't need a pass to get to the USO--just the Sailor to walk us in.

My son leaves on the 27th. I see that 8 others are listed for that day. Does this mean they will be in the same unit or are there so many that none of these paths may cross?

My son left June 21st.

Hi there. My daughter is leaving for bc next week, June 27th. Not sure how to add her on this calendar but I'd love to meet some of the other mom's with recruits leaving around then.
