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 futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 3:26pm: Cristina, you can start by looking in to how you would be traveling (via plane, train, or driving). Then look through these comments, there are talk of two different hotel with great reviews. I chose Residence Inn because it offered the two room suites that I would need. If you look up at the different discussions FireTeamLeaderWife has started she has a list of places to eat in Great lakes, there is also a list of things you will want to bring. Hope this helps. If you have anymore questions please ask. There is always someone who can answer them for you.

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 3:22pm: any IT moms here?

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 3:17pm: @Samantha- you're a brave woman :D. I finally washed my SR's clothes after a week!!! I was hoping to get a phone call from him yesterday, oh well. I know my "I'm alive" phone call will be coming soon. Thank you ladies for some great info, I feel so lost. I haven't even started planning the trip to IL for PIR. I don't know where to start. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 25, 2011 at 1:47pm: @Rachael...Bummer, but I bet your meal was delicious! I declared today a National Recover From Wal-Mart Day...What a fiasco...LOL

Comment by Navy Mom x3 on November 25, 2011 at 1:39pm: I hosted and cooked for Thanksgiving yesterday so there was no shopping for me this morning. The only thing I didn't cook was the pearled onions (my mom always makes that!) so I was up at 5am and asleep at 6:30 last night. I was up again at 5 this morning for work. I wish today was declared a National Shopping Holiday so we could get the day off!

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 12:52pm: omg Samantha you are a brave woman! I did all of my shopping on the internet last week lol

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 12:40pm: lol I just put all of my letters in the mail box. You can send them but they won't get them until the recruit doing the mail passes the federal test and is trained.

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 25, 2011 at 12:39pm: @mom2jord...Sorry to hear about your son, I guess there are a lot of germs floating around and it's pretty common for SR's to get sick. I am glad he is doing better and continuing on his wonderful journey.

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 25, 2011 at 12:36pm: Good Morning All! I braved Wal-Mart last night and survived. Made it out with the 40 inch flat screen I wanted and some other stuff. What a mess that store was...Hope you all hung in there and have fun shopping today. If your shopping, that is :)

Comment by Cristina (Robin'sMom) on November 25, 2011 at 12:14pm: Hi, since Dianne posted an address, can we start sending letters even though we haven't receive the form letter?
