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 diannep on January 18, 2012 at 5:38pm: Congrats to these 2 new sailors of 909! Did anyone ask if all passed in that division? Now we wait to see if the two other divisions went through...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 18, 2012 at 5:20pm: I'll make a discussion for it when I get home!

Comment by Navy Mom x3 on January 18, 2012 at 5:10pm: The RTC posted the Honors list for our PIR date...

Comment by LedbetterLisa on January 18, 2012 at 4:37pm: Well I received my I AM A SAILOR call from my son, He said his Div 909 scored A 4.86 out of A possible 5.0. Way to rock it 909. We are so proud of them. Proud Navy mom.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 18, 2012 at 3:26pm: Thank you dianne and LaLa.
Safe travels to you all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 18, 2012 at 2:44pm: I have had several people ask about sending flowers to the funeral. They prefer you make a donation in Chris' name instead of sending flowers. Her are the charities they suggested. Thanks

Memorial contributions may be made to JDRF: Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Western Pa. Chapter, 960 Penn Ave., 1000, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, 412-471-1414, westernpa<\@>jdrf.org, www.jdrf.org/westernpa or Orphans of the Storm, P.O. Box 838, Kittanning, PA 16201, 724-548-4520.

Comment by diannep on January 18, 2012 at 2:17pm: There is a very nice www.youtube.com tribute to Christopher. Go to the site and just put in: Christopher Andrew Walker.

Here is the obituary:

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 18, 2012 at 2:15pm: Dianne, Christine is the one who is going to hand out the ribbons for me and it is my understanding that she is going to take a pic as well. I look forward to see that picture too :-) She couldn't post the comment herself because she on on the flight right now :-) I also have a pic of all the ribbons :-)

Comment by diannep on January 18, 2012 at 1:20pm: Lala, will be praying for your father.

Comment by diannep on January 18, 2012 at 1:17pm: I hope someone takes a pik of the ladies with those white ribbons on at PIR in their division section. I don't know if there is a way to get it to Christopher's family, but I think it would be wonderful for them to know that their son/brother/fiance/grandson, etc was remembered that day. So if anyone thinks of it, please do that. Maybe you can post it on this site then. Hoping that maybe his family members will check back on here eventually and see it...

Safe travel for those leaving today! Remember, if you haven't done it already and I'm a Sailor calls may come in when your phone is off on the plane, change your voicemail to greet your sailor and ask that they call many times and leave many messages for you to hear when you land.
