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 9:47pm: @futureHMwife- yes I got a letter today yipee!!!! He arrived at RTC on 20111116

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:40pm: o wait it was Cristina that got the letter lol what day did your recruit arrive?

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:39pm: @Samantha what day did your recruit arrive at RTC? My husband is DIV 45 and I haven't heard anything from him other than the 'i'm here call'

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:34pm: okay good. My heart sunk when I read that! Thank you.

Comment by mome2jord on November 25, 2011 at 9:32pm: futureHMwife...none of my letters had the Recruit Training Command in the address and my son got them all. You can add it on your future letters, but don't worry, he will get the letters you already sent!!!

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 9:29pm: okay now I am worried. I addressed all the letters I have been writing but I saw some mention on a the RTC fbook page that Recruit Training Command is supposed to be in the address. Is this right or will the letters get there without it??

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 9:22pm: @Samantha, let me know if you got one too. I hope you do since they're in the same division.

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 9:14pm: I found this on Navy for Dads. I thought it's interesting and I'd like to share it with you ladies. It's how recruits fit into division staff at RTC. It's the Recruit Division Command Structure. My son is SL2.

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 25, 2011 at 9:11pm: Yeah, Cristina (letter) and mome2jord (call)....Was cold, windy and snowy here so didn't go to the mailbox. I must go check right now!

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 9:10pm: Good news all around :) I'll be mailing my letters tomorrow, yipee! Although my son said his RDC will not allow anything, even newspaper clippings, I wonder if he'll be allowed a print out from the computer. I don't want him to get in trouble, I guess to be safe I'll just write all the new gossips to him :P.
