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 Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 11:13pm: Sending you Hugs futureHMwife. They will never understand. The military is a whole other ball game. They have to stick it out and we have to stick it out with them. You have the right to miss him. It's not normal if you don't.

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 11:03pm: I just want to say I am so happy I found this site. My 'friends' can be so ugh sometimes. They don't understand how much I miss my husband and don't to hear me talking about it. They don't understand how lonely I am without him. We met back in March of 2008 and haven't really been apart since then. None of my friends are married so they don't get it. I am glad I have people here I can connect with and won't get annoyed with how much I miss my man.

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 10:13pm: Yay Samantha!!!! Our division got to write a letter, whoo hoo!!!

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 10:12pm: YAY!!! Samantha! So happy for you!

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 25, 2011 at 10:11pm: I got it! I got it! Now I am mad at myself for not going to the mail earlier. I had half and half...Really nice writing, he said they were practicing , and his endearing scrawl I love so much. He cracked me up in the letter though. Said it was hard the first couple days, but was getting better with sleep. Man, I love that boy...*sniff*...Anyhow, his Ship and Div were confirmed by him. No form letter though.

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:58pm: I know the DIV assignments can be pretty random from reading the discussion FTLW posted above... My husband may have been one of the lasts one to get into DIV 45

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:53pm: This makes me wonder if the recruiter gave me the wrong DIV lol

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 25, 2011 at 9:52pm: My son arrived the same day too...I know, weird on the DIV....Okay, scarf on and going to brave the cold...Brrrrrr

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:48pm: Okay my husband arrived the same day. Maybe I will get something soon. I can't believe they arrived the same day and got in a different DIV.
