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."

It is a relief to get actually...I had letters ready to go and flew down to the post-office to mail them off!!...Also, for us personally the earlier PIR is nice because her dad is actually on vacation that week and won't have to take extra "save" days he has...Fingers crossed she keeps that date.
Plus, obviously we're a week closer to seeing her than we thought we would be...So yes, it was a very nice surprise. :) -

Hello! I need a mom to create the 09/07/2012 PIR group. 08/31/2012 ends in Division 278, so 279 and up or the Performing Div of 943 would be it. Friend me and let me know...you can also read the Post about it on the main page of this Group. I have step-by-step instructions and it is a fun thing to do! Veteran moms stay on the group throughout all of BC!
