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."

Each tear shed and moment spent on sleepless nights will not go away during the next eight weeks, but to know we have a support system where we all share the same goal, will help lift our spirits as we continue through this exciting journey together!!! Let the countdown begin!!!:)

Welcome to PIR 01/06/12

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by diannep on January 3, 2012 at 11:22am: Good morning all! It's almost HERE!

Comment by heather's mom ship 12 div 029 on January 3, 2012 at 9:21am: Thanks for sharing the video, first time I had seen it. Friday will be a very exciting day for us to share!

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on January 2, 2012 at 11:44pm: Good evening, all!!! I'm sure everyone is gearing up for PIR. We're still waiting on our "I'm a sailor" call, but I am sure that will be coming up! I cannot believe that PIR is only 3 days away. It seemed like it would never get here. Although, to be honest, it kind of seems like this week is taking forever! Haha. I guess I'm just a tiny bit anxious to get to Great Lakes!

Best wishes to all of those waiting for their final calls!!!! Be sure to post, so we can all be excited with you! Hooyah! :)

Comment by Popeye's Mom Alum DIV 031 1-6-12 on January 2, 2012 at 5:43pm: diannep-Thanks for sharing the video! I'm even more excited if that's possible! :) It is gonna be so great to see our sailors & hug them-HOOYAH!

Comment by Sukie on January 2, 2012 at 5:20pm: Wonderful video! Thank you!

Comment by mtnwoman on January 2, 2012 at 4:23pm: Thanks Dianne, I hadn't seen that video before today and it brought proud tears to my eyes. I can't wait!!!!!

Comment by Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on January 2, 2012 at 12:36pm: Sounds good, thanks :)

Comment by diannep on January 2, 2012 at 12:35pm: No, miriam. Save the poster for the hotel room or your car! They don't allow them in the hall...they want all to have full view of the sailors as they come in and perform.

Comment by Miriam43 (Japan/USS George Wash) on January 2, 2012 at 9:35am: Good morning ladies! Thank you so much Dianne for this link, it was great! Can't wait for PIR. After so many sleepless nights and countless tears, I can't believe PIR is only 3 days away! Do you know if posters are allowed at PIR? I made a real nice one but I don't know if i'm allowed to take it with me... I can always leave it in the car but it would be nice to take it with.

Comment by diannep on January 2, 2012 at 9:17am: Good Morning, all! Thanks for the great inspirational post, GLORIA! So so true, right?

BattleStations continuing soon for this group. Just think...in just 3 days, you will be sitting in the PIR Hall waiting for your new sailors to arrive. Maybe it is time to post this video again to get you in the mood? Enjoy!
