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!!!:)

mome2jord started this group but has had to leave for another PIR group.

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 December 16, 2011 at 7:26pm: kimberlydale: No, you cannot call an A School to see if your sailor will be going there. You could call for general info, maybe, but they can't confirm if your sailor will be there.

CatCat: Take the personal things with you to PIR regardless of where he may be. He can have them at GL...OR...can take them on the plane with him---if you meet him at the airport on Saturday morning and give them to him there---not allowed at RTC. They are now issued black backpacks and may have room in there to take a few things. Laptops, cells, ipods, a few civilian clothes (that they can't wear at A School until they "phase up"). They can wear the civilian clothes in the hotel room ONLY...outside of the room, full uniform required.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 16, 2011 at 5:59pm: Good Afternoon!

Comment by kimberlydale (corpsmanmom) on December 16, 2011 at 3:26pm: Good Morning :):) I am curious ladies, you mention about calling the A school...we can do this, and they will give us information about where our SR will be ?? I have and idea but really don't know anything for sure !!! Only 21 days from TODAY!!!!! I am looking so forward to it that I am having a hard time even focusing on Christmas..........!!!

Comment by Popeye's Mom Alum DIV 031 1-6-12 on December 16, 2011 at 3:16pm: Catcat49-I do believe you can take his stuff is he stays in GL. I was told if they stay at GL they have to check in directly after PIR & it takes from 1-5 hours so you have to hang out somewhere & wait til he's done. Always changing the game-lol. Merry Christmas to you & yours!

Comment by Catcat49USSHopper on December 16, 2011 at 12:49pm: Popeye's Mom, That is what I am afraid of. I did call the A school GL and I do think he will be going there. But as you say, things change, I never seem to get the answers I really need. I am trying to find out if he will be moving into A School that weekend. Need to know if we can take some of his personal things to him. RTC just said they cannot take anything back to barracks. Guess I didn't ask the question right. I'm sorry for your disappointment. Hope things get better for you, Merry Christmas to all.

Comment by Popeye's Mom Alum DIV 031 1-6-12 on December 16, 2011 at 12:35pm: Good morning all! I am really feelin' sorry for myself since our SR said he's won't be staying at GL for A school. Before he talked of buying a car & coming home (6 hours away) when he got liberty. Now we only get Friday with him & some time at the airport on Saturday & he will end up 14 hours away in CT! I know things change constatly in the military & I'm trying to be flexible but that is not my strongest suit-lol. Oh well, thanks for letting me vent! Have a great weekend!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 15, 2011 at 8:55pm: IMPORTANT - I am reposting this from loganmyseaman(SHIP07/DIV035) about SARGE.

Those of you that have arrangements with him please contact him to confirm them.

Greetings Navy for Moms PIR 01/06/12!!

Just wanted to pass on some important information that Sarge asked me to inform you of... His I-phone was stolen and he has lost some important text messages from those of you who are using his service and wanted to have you either forward him an email with your flight information to his email address: johnspadaro@att.net or you may contact him via phone @ 1-847-212-0246. He is very concerned and does not want any to be left without transportation if you have made previous arrangements with him for this service.

(I am anxiously awaiting our SR's PIR).

Merry Christmas to you all and Many Blessing for the New Year!
