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

WELCOME to PIR 009/26//2014! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.
~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

My guess is that they will still be in their whites! Each base changes at a different time too....

Good Morning All!

It is usually right around the end of Sept, first of Oct that they change to Dress Blues in Great Lakes. The dates can vary from year to year and it is different for each base. I have a friend who works at that base so I sent him a message and I will let you know as soon as I hear back from him :)

That's a good question Cdenise. I was wondering the same thing. Seems like the pictures that I've seen, they're in blues?

We stayed at the Navy Lodge, great and inexpensive :) They will give you a temporary shopping pass for the NEX that is just down the street. You usually have to have military ID to shop there so it is a great bonus :)
Hi everyone, I don't think I got the chance to introduce myself. I am Lora, most of my friends and family call me Lala. My daughter had PIR in July 2010 (4 years ago) She married her husband while she was in A-school 4 days before he left for boot camp. She was an AO and was based at Oceana and then Norfolk and is now a veteran using her GI Bill to go to college. Today was her first day of classes. She and their 1 year old baby girl are staying with us for a while. Her husband is gone to do some extensive training with his command out of CA. It is nice to have them home for sure <3 I have been helping in the PIR groups on this site and facebook since she graduated from boot camp. I love helping and I am happy to do what I can to help all of you. My best advice is to write letters every day. The recruits live for mail call and you want them to have their name called for mail every night before lights out. Your encouraging words are what gets them through the next day until mail call comes again. Feel free to send me a friend request if you like and believe me when I say boot camp days drag by but the weeks pass quickly. You will get through this and we all understand exactly how you are feeling {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

HI everyone, I hope you all are doing well :)
My daughter called once from a different area code while in boot camp and I almost didn't answer it. I was so glad I did. It was a late call, 9pm eastern time and I wasn't expecting her to call that late. The RDC let her make the call because she missed a call from being SIQ after having wisdom teeth pulled. So like Dianne said calls come from different numbers. ANSWER every call lol :)

Son had wisdom teeth pulled, novocaine only and yanked them. Bed rest two days. Normal routine. Been fighting a cold but refuses to go to Med as he doesn't want to miss any training days. Quite proud of that. Letters are coming still waiting on that phone call
