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 angiesailorsmom on February 10, 2012 at 3:22pm: i just received a phone call from my son, they are medically discharging him. he said it would take about 20 to 25 days and then they would ship him home. why does it take so long, and can i go up and pick him up instead of them sending him home on a bus or plane?

thanks concerned mother

Comment by LilBigMansMom/Ship11/Div101 on February 10, 2012 at 1:49pm: Steph 12/098 Thanks!

Comment by Steph68 on February 10, 2012 at 12:50pm: LilBigMansMom- I sent one to my son. It was in a white envelope and wasn't a musical card so hopefully it's fine. :)

Comment by LilBigMansMom/Ship11/Div101 on February 10, 2012 at 12:11pm: Will my SR get in trouble if I send him a Valentines Card? I know he'll get it late but I couldn't resist!

Comment by all5roc on February 10, 2012 at 9:30am: Got my form letter yesterday, it was correct from what the recruiter gave me, except the address. I had already corrected it. No note on the back from her, but I bet she was too tired to care!! Or too scared to add anything on the paper that they didnt tell her. It looked like she had to erase and re-write the address. So may not have been too happy...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 10, 2012 at 7:04am: Folks...if you know your Ship/Div...please go ahead and start your Division Discussions up above. Directions are below. Please only ONE per Division!

How to add a Discussion - Go to the bottom left corner of the DF area (It's actually just above the comment box here.) and click "Add a Discussion".

Fill in the Title and any description you like.

For DIV discussion Titles a suggestion would be:

SHIP ##/ DIV ###

Simple as that! Then the other members from your div can reply and you can connect up even closer there.

Remember that you are ALL part of this TG though and to stay on the main pages to talk here too! Plus, we veteran moms mostly stay on the main pages of the groups. There are 7-8 PIR groups running at one time and so we do not get to the DF's as much. We do check them as often as we can...OPSEC rules apply there also.

Comment by omama on February 10, 2012 at 1:45am: I posted his address on a private message to only his close friends on facebook. not to all his 500+ friends. then I posted a message to all his 500+ friends that said that if they wanted to send him a line they could send him a private message and I would print them out and send them to him. that way I wasnt worried about what or who was writting.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 10, 2012 at 12:33am: Me feeling VERY LOVED AND CARED FOR! Thank you ALL!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 10, 2012 at 12:25am: Thanks so much ladies, you guys are very kind. I appreciate all of you new moms and families and all my fellow veteran moms friends as well. FTLW you better be smiling friend :-) Goodnight everyone.

Comment by Nuke Mom on February 10, 2012 at 12:20am: Love the ribbons and the scrapbook in a box. Shared with my son's girl friend as well. Will be ordering soon. Thanks for sharing
