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 Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on December 1, 2011 at 9:31pm: And your a Utah gal, so roads will be no challenge...LOL

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on December 1, 2011 at 9:31pm: @Sweetlove...I think it might end up being cheaper when you factor in taxi rates, tips, etc...Try Priceline if you decide too, I got a heck of a deal :)

Comment by futureHMwife on December 1, 2011 at 9:09pm: I just don't get what is sooooo great about parades. lol

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on December 1, 2011 at 8:50pm: Plus, even from Montana, wouldn't want to drive one of those teeny cars :)

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on December 1, 2011 at 8:48pm: Yeah, I'm 6' and my hubby is 6'5", so the compact, mid-size and economy didn't work for us either.

Comment by Navy Mom x3 on December 1, 2011 at 8:38pm: We rented a full size car for $21 per day... Big kid coming with us so a compact will not work.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 1, 2011 at 8:37pm: Samantha, that is a great deal.

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on December 1, 2011 at 8:15pm: @Betsy and everyone else renting a car...I second the Priceline suggestion. Got my car rented for only $14/day with Hertz through them. Standard, not compact of mid-sized. Regular price was $56/day prepay through Hertz directly....

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 1, 2011 at 7:39pm: Lala, that's nice that she had off from work today.

Rachael, that is a good price.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 1, 2011 at 6:44pm: Well she got lucky and didn't have to work today because it is the Squadrons Christmas party and since she works evening they all got the evening off to attend the party. So that was cool to be off on her birthday :-) We shall see if there are any pranks at the party lol. With that many Sailors together who knows.
