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."

This is for each of us who are anxiously anticipating that special day on 1/6/12 when all the effort, support and worry is coupled with our recruits hard work and dedication and will come to fruition. 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.

allie4298(ship07/div036) will be the acting group leader.

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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 6, 2011 at 9:59am: Good morning everyone, I survived the shopping trip yesterday and got lots of supplies for ribbons, window decals and tote bags :-) I will be working on those today. I hope everyone has a great day and if you are getting snow, ice or those below zero windchills try and stay warm :-)

Comment by diannep on December 6, 2011 at 9:40am: Good morning to all...hoping that this could be "letter day" for some of you! And just maybe a phone call? You never know!

Just a reminder of some info:

To order division tshirts designed by the SRs in your division:

http://www.mwrgl.com/gen_info/rtc_graduation/div_tshirt_order_6_201...

If you order now, you should receive before PIR and can wear there if you like. Remember, your SRs may have ordered these...some like to give them to you as gifts! But my feeling is you can't have too many tshirts! Especially ones like these!

...and....finally...."the PIR video"

This is produced by a Navy mom who has her own production company and it is very well done. Kleenex ladies!

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on December 6, 2011 at 9:15am: I hope you all have a fabulous day full of phone calls and LOTS of letters!! Only one month to go! :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 6, 2011 at 8:09am: Well...just saw Hubby off. So I am going to post my video now! It's nap day!

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on December 5, 2011 at 8:51pm: Hope you all have had a GREAT day! We had our first glimpse of 'snow' this evening here in so. ill. It was really just a sleet mix, but it was white, so it counts. Thinking of you all! :)

Comment by mtnwoman on December 5, 2011 at 8:02pm: Thank you for all the feedback. I think I'll need to re-think the place I'll be sleeping! Again, thanks for all the info and I'll give Sarge a call when I get off work.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 5, 2011 at 6:38pm: PhoenixMom, that's really, really close. Next time should be a charm!

Comment by PhoenixMomPS1204 on December 5, 2011 at 6:18pm: @allie42989 (ship07/div036): According to his last letter he only missed the 1.5 mile run by 5 seconds, so not as bad as he thought. You should get a call soon - I hear they get a chance to make the call if they missed the normal one because of watch duty, or whatever. And he will prob. be able to call on Christmas wherever he's at in the Adopt a Sailor program.
