OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Hi BootsnPanama! My daughter left on 1/12. She is a military brat, meaning we lived everywhere. I am currently in IL. My daughter turns 19 the day after PIR! SO proud of her! She is my baby, proud of both of my daughters! I had tears of worry and sadness last Friday, but I finally received letters and they turned to tears of joy! So proud of her! It's not easy for her, but she is making it!

Hello Fellow Members of PIR 3/6/2015 :) Will the day come quick enough?? I miss my son like crazy! I tear up a lot driving to/from work- gets me every time. We're from St. Louis MO area; and I could not be more proud of my son!! He is 18years.. graduated high school and was keeping down a full time job for awhile (since he graduated HS)- he realized he was worth more! There is so much more to offer in this world then where is roots are.I write him every single day... sometimes a couple times through out the day. Looking forward to hugging him!! And just knowing that he is "okay". God Bless our Recruits!

I'm probably closer than you think Worried Mom :) I try not to give too much information as I'm not aware of the exact security guidelines. I do plan on attending the Sarges Meet and Greet :) Hope to meet some of the N4M members! After all- we're all in the same boat!

I don't know if that worked. Trying to find out how to copy and paste it. There are a couple of Closed FB groups for PIR 03/06
One is: PIR 03-06-15 NAVY BOOT CAMP 7 DIVISIONS (101-106 &917)
There is another one: PIR 03-06-15 Navy Boot Camp
The first one is more active, but both provide good information and fellow parents, wives, husbands, girlfriends of SRs

Praying this morning that our SRs are working as a team, being respectful, and passing tests.
