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 12:09pm: Yes, my husband is going to San Antonio as well. If I am not mistaken all of medial go to San Antonio now. I am okay pretty good this week, the kids keep me busy lol. My husband flew out Nov 16. I hope we get to meet in Great Lakes! I am glad your son is feeling better :)

Comment by mome2jord on November 25, 2011 at 12:03pm: futureHMwife....Yay...that is fantastic that they are in the same division!:) I really do hope my son and your husband get along great. My son is also going to HM school so they will probably be around each other quite a bit. Is your husband going to A School in San Antonio? I am sad that it will be longer to see my son, but as long as he is better than I am okay. I will remain positive as it has been a tough week....how are you holding up and when did your husband ship out for boot camp?

Comment by futureHMwife on November 25, 2011 at 11:11am: mome2jord, you son is now in my husband's division! I hope they get along well! I also hope your son is feeling better, I know this must be hard on you having to waiting longer to see him again. We are all here for you if you need us. I would assume he would just jump in with whatever part his new division is at. He may have to relearn some stuff if he was further ahead before being moved. However, I do not know for sure, this is just my guess.

Comment by mome2jord on November 25, 2011 at 11:06am: Diannep...thank you for the info, yes he gave us his new division of 045. He had to hang up before he could tell us the ship # and mailing info. But he did say div 045 was his new one. I did not get to talk to him when he called, I was at work so my husband was the one who got the call. I am not sure if he has been sick and they got him better or if he is still sick. He could not talk long and told my husband he could talk more when he called on Thanksgiving, but we did not get another call. I am hoping if he got a new division then it means he is better. Does he have to start from the beginning and do everything over again or does he pick up where he left off?

Comment by diannep on November 25, 2011 at 10:00am: mome2jord: Has your SR already been put in another division? I saw your post in your original group. Is he well and now has resumed training again? I sure hope so!

Comment by diannep on November 25, 2011 at 9:40am: Remember to put name like this:

SR LAST NAME, FIRST NAME MIDDLE INITIAL

Comment by diannep on November 25, 2011 at 9:38am: For any one else needing mailing addresses, just to up to RTC link up top and go to FAMILIES info, click on Contact Recruit. Scroll down to ship addresses.

Good morning, all!
