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.

Thank you to you both!

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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 5, 2012 at 6:36pm: ATTENTION!!

Someone posted that they would not be able to attend PIR and wanted to send their Sailor something. I haven't had a chance to look through all the posts (7 PIR groups worth) so I am posting this to try and find you! (I will still look later!)

It's too late to order the care package...sorry...but I just wanted to see if I could find you if you happened to be on this group!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 5, 2012 at 6:22pm: NavyMom...I bumped up the "MAPS of RTC" for you in the Discussion Forum.

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2012 at 5:46pm: NavyMom: I assume you are driving, not taking the PIR shuttle. There will be signs and it will be well marked. Someone in the last PIR group said you enter from "Ohio" street if driving (the main drag in front of the base is "Buckley.". She said to stay to the right as people on the left will try to merge and it is not nice. I know that Lala had said not to get in the far right lane as it ends...I would make a trial "drive by" today if you can. But don't worry...there will be lots of people to help in the morning and signs.

Remember....everyone....leave early for PIR! Allow extra time. It starts at 9 but you should be there long before that (I recommend leaving your hotel if on the shuttle between 6:30-7; if driving, be in the line by 6).

ENJOY!

Comment by NavyMom (Ship 12 DIV 030) on January 5, 2012 at 5:02pm: QUESTION: Where do we enter for graduation? address? gate? I'm clueless..lol.. Thnx!

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2012 at 3:07pm: So glad that the calls have started! They start a bit earlier when they finish BattleStations the day before PIR...thank goodness! Hoping more are coming in soon!

Comment by Codey'smom on January 5, 2012 at 2:40pm: I got my call we have a new sailor in our house. Yay!! 036 All passed good job everyone I am proud of all of them.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 5, 2012 at 2:35pm: 035 is getting calls!

Comment by baylorbear on January 5, 2012 at 10:12am: Thanks catcat49. Yes div 907. I don't get on much. With my job I stay busy plus my commute is an hour one way. Can't wait to meet everyone.

Comment by Popeye's Mom Alum DIV 031 1-6-12 on January 5, 2012 at 9:22am: Getting ready to head out soon-Great Lakes or Bust! Hope I get to meet some of you ladies in the next few days! Safe travels to all! I can't believe we finally made it-PIR 1-06-12-HOOYAH! Love my Navy family!

Comment by diannep on January 5, 2012 at 8:50am: Yes, Katie. I think you are right...So 4 divisions went through last night. LOTS of calls coming in today. Remember, if you all will be in the air when the call may come in with phones off, please change your voicemail to greet your new sailors. Ask that they call back many times with all of the info they want to tell you. Those will be great messages to receive when you land!

Safe travel for all today....enjoy the MeetNGreets and.....rest up tonight for a huge and wonderful day tomorrow! HOOYAH and Bravo Zulu to the new sailors of PIR 1/06!
