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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2012 at 12:58am: LaLa - That is so wonderful that you are doing that...thank you!

Cameowlot - Glad you are back on and I hope you are feeling better.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 16, 2012 at 10:49pm: I just talked with Cristina, she will be at Sarges Meet and Greet so if you would like one of those ribbons to wear look for her there. Thanks, Lora

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 16, 2012 at 10:20pm: Hi everyone, Everyone who ordered ribbons for PIR should have received them by now. If you have not received them please send me a message and I will look up the tracking number and make sure they are not lost and that you will get them hopefully tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful time, enjoy the time you have with your Sailor.

If you are in DIV 045 or their brother DIV 046 look for CristinaITmom, I made, and am still making small white ribbons (as many as I can possibly get done) for you guys to wear in honor of Recruit W who lost his life last week. I have been making them for 2 days and will Express mail them to her at her hotel and they will be there when she arrives. I am sure most of you are on the facebook group with her and know who I am talking about. In case you are not on that page I will find out from her if she is going to the meet and greet and let you know. That way you can get a ribbon from her there. I am sorry if she runs out. I am getting as many made as I can and I even have a friend coming over tomorrow to help me with them. Please travel safely and keep his family in your prayers, Thanks, Lora
