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 Members!
Hi all,
I just wanted to take the time to welcome everyone to the group and to say how proud I am of our Sailor Recruits! I know none of us can wait patiently for 9:00 AM on January 20, 2012! I look forward to chatting with everyone in the group and getting to know one another. Maybe we can even plan to hang out at the Thursday before at Sarge's meet and greet (I need to get more info about this).
This PIR day has many different divisions (I don't know how many yet) so if you would reply with your Sailor's Ship# and DIV# so we can see who all has a recruit in the same Division and who has a recruit in a brother division. My husband is Ship 09 Division 045.
If any of you need to talk please do not hesitate to start a discussion so we can all come together and support you in you time of need.

Hi Peggy, welcome! My son is in Ship 09 Div 046 and has an Advanced IT rate. You will find a lot of information here in regards to PIR. But if you just want to talk and vent, we are all eager to listen and share. Hang in there, we are going through the same things you are. Take care, HUGS-Cristina
