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."

Welcome to PIR 01/20/2012

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 February 11, 2012 at 11:38pm: I am leaving this group now as well, good luck to all of you and your Sailors. If you ever need anything I am only a message away :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 31, 2012 at 10:50am: Ladies, all the prayers and wonderful wishes to your families and your sailors.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 28, 2012 at 12:19pm: I will be leaving also. God Bless you and all of your Sailors

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2012 at 8:37am: Leaving this group now. Blessings to your sailors in their Navy future!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 24, 2012 at 2:32pm: Ditto, mome2jord! Wonderful...and you tell it so well. Boot Camp moms would be good too.

Comment by diannep on January 24, 2012 at 9:54am: mome2jord. The post below would be a great one to post on the current PIR groups. Some waiver in whether they should go to PIR...some think they will just go to A School graduation. Now, I realize that many just can't get to PIR, but for those who CAN,but aren't sure your post will illustrate why to them! So post it if you don't mind on the groups!

Comment by mome2jord on January 24, 2012 at 2:43am: A big thank you to each one of you as we all were here to support one another as we waited for this much anticipated day. It was an amazing experience and one that only one can understand if they have been privileged to witness it. I was so elated to see my son that at the point when I first saw him march out you would have thought I had seen a celebrity for the first time....I started screaming, there he is...there he is, look it's my son!! To me he is a celebrity and one of my hero's!! One of the best parts of the day was watching him laugh and hangout with his sister...oh to have those two in the same room again was priceless!! A journey I will never forget and even through all the freezing cold and snow, it was worth every plane ride we missed, every lost cell phone I had and every icy road driven to be there to hug my son, and when he grabbed me and lifted me up off the ground I could hear his tears of excitement and emotion. What a blessed day indeed...I thank God every day for my beautiful family who I love so very much!:)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 23, 2012 at 5:23pm: Yes...please jump in! Think about what your "niche" might be!

Take a look around the site. To find groups go to:

"Groups" tab up top. click it.

When you get there there is a header titled "All Groups"...to the right of it is a box titled "Sort by" click the drop down and then choose how to view the groups.

If you go to the Main Page there are some Posts that will take you to groups by rating, ships, and the PIR groups.

Boot Camp moms I am sure you all know and there are "DEP leavin for Boot Camp..." for each month too!

I hope that PIR and liberty were great for you all!

Comment by diannep on January 23, 2012 at 3:26pm: Yes, we would welcome anyone who wants to join our team of N4Moms veterans working on the PIR sites! Just jump on whenever you want to and share your info!

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on January 23, 2012 at 1:02pm: A big THANK YOU to the Navy moms who helped all of us have a great experience at the graduation. It's our turn to pay it forward :)
