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 01/27/2012!

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.CLICK ME

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 15, 2012 at 12:36pm: momma2many, such sweet words.

I will be MIA for a bit today. It's a Raven's football day! Woohoo! Hopefully I will be back tonight reporting on our win.

Comment by diannep on January 15, 2012 at 9:49am: Totally get it, momma2many. All of us deserve one-on-one time with our children, especially at pivotal times like this. Hoping that even if it is just for a few minutes, you get that time with your son. Good thing is...he will have cell, etc after bootcamp and hopefully you can then get some good phone talks.

Comment by momma2many on January 15, 2012 at 12:22am: Wishing all you moms who have mentioned your worries and those who are keeping them close to your chest peace and answers to prayers.

With so many kids I'm always on top of the "spin"-- putting on the happy face-- but when the world quiets down, I just want to be able to talk to him, you know?

Comment by momma2many on January 15, 2012 at 12:15am: oh man. I hate traveling. I'm going to have fun, I know, but I'm such a homebody till I get out the door. I am thinking of taking the sibs with me, at the last minute because my ex invited the oldest (who's out of school) and one who's homeschooled to go with him.. so the rest are kind of like-- um, mom, we really want to see him TOOOOOOO. :) so, late in game change of plans! who knows. hugs, ladies.
