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: 03/30/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by dawny64 on September 20, 2012 at 1:50pm: My son left for Japan on Monday and will be there for 3 years. It's really bittersweet i will miss him terribly but i know this is where he wanted to be stationed. He called me again today and said he brought a new phone that has an app called magic jack that allows him to call the states for free. I'm 1 happy Momma and will enjoy it until he has to go meet his ship.

Comment by Steph68 on September 12, 2012 at 7:56pm: I am glad you have had a great time with your son Dawny!! My son was also going to be going to Japan but they changed his orders and he has been stationed in Virginina for a month now and is on the USS George Bush. Oh, and he got married!! So he is happy as can be! I hope everyone is doing well!!
