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 kathyb ship 02 div 910 on December 14, 2011 at 5:51pm: I believe we are driving to PIR from the Dallas area. I tried to talk my husband into flying; but since we have not heard from our SR we do not know when he will leave for A-school... if he even knows at this point. We want to stay and spend as much time as we can with him. I told my husband about the meet and greet on Thursday night; hopefully we will be there and meet soon.

Comment by BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) on December 14, 2011 at 5:33pm: Proud Mom, this comes directly from the RTC website.

Four seats are guaranteed per recruit; however, children 12 years old and younger do not count against the four-guest maximum. The graduating recruit is responsible for identifying those individuals to be placed on the access list. Please coordinate with your recruit via letters regarding who will be on the access list. No additions, deletions or changes will be made to the access list the week of graduation. The four guests on the access list will be admitted into the ceremonial drill hall first. Additional guests not on the access list will have to wait inside the Visitor Center until after the start of the ceremony at which time they will be allowed into the ceremonial hall if additional seating is available as space permits. No additional seating can be guaranteed. PLEASE DO NOT CALL FOR ADDITIONAL SEATS. All visitors must have valid photo identification. This requirement includes children (school ID, Social Security card or copy of birth certificate). Please be aware that security may deny base admission to guests NOT on the access list if they are not accompanied by a guest who is on the access list.

Comment by AnitaT (Ship 07 Div 051) on December 14, 2011 at 4:32pm: Navywife we are a lot farther away than some of the other moms (I'm in CA). We should be getting something before the end of the week. Hang in there!

Comment by navywife11 on December 14, 2011 at 4:29pm: again...no mail today :( each day gets harder and harder, i thought it was supposed to be the opposite :(

Comment by diannep on December 14, 2011 at 3:47pm: The 26th is fine, sofasmom. But hope you get there in time to attend the MeetNGreets! Sarge's starts at 5 and goes until 10, I believe. The Ramada's goes from 6-8 pm. Free to all! Food/beverages are available for purchase at each place (they do have some freebies though).

Comment by diannep on December 14, 2011 at 3:44pm: anita: They usually know about 2 weeks ahead of time. BattleStations are done during the last 7-8 days before PIR. Be sure to read the discussion above about it. Lots of info. They do not do them on Fri or Sat nights. It is an overnight drill.

Comment by AnitaT (Ship 07 Div 051) on December 14, 2011 at 3:32pm: Does anyone know how soon they will know when battlestations will be? I know we cam only find out from them but not sure when they find out.

Comment by sofas mom ship 03 div 047 on December 14, 2011 at 3:27pm: anyone traveling alone and need a hotel buddy? I thought I must not be the only parent traveling alone, right? I have the airfare and plan on showing up on the 26th. This should be enough, right? or should I show up on the 25th? This time of year, the weather is horrible. I am coming from Houston, Texas. I have to be back to work by Monday. Any ideas?

Comment by momma2many on December 14, 2011 at 12:29pm: ha ha ha @anitamt..I know, I'm all calm and then it just collapses! . I thought of you when I posted it... Yours will be there soon! it was postmarked 12 Dec, so if you have so mail, keep that in mind. big hugs.
