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 carolyn19 on March 27, 2012 at 9:32pm: I didn't get the " I 'm a sailor " call . My son is in Div 920 and said he would call on the 26th. We waited all last night and tonight but no call. I guess unless we hear different we will still plan on being there Friday.

Comment by Proud Ship7 div107 NavyMom on March 27, 2012 at 9:18pm: Congrats to all the new " Sailors". I will be on a plane when my son should call. I hope I get it!

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 8:16pm: Congrats to all of the new sailors! Prayers for the last group to go through!

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 8:15pm: alismz:......sigh....and sniff.....what a wonderful story!

AMD'sMom; Hmmmm.....strange that he didn't call yesterday or today...but sometimes it happens. I have heard of some who never did get the I'm a Sailor call, but their sailors were at PIR. You may want to try and call the Public Affairs Office tomorrow and see if they have him on the graduation list. Sometimes you get someone nice there who will help; sometimes not. But it may be worth a try! 847-688-2405

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 27, 2012 at 7:46pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors, so so exciting, AMD'sMom he could still call this evening or tomorrow. Hopefully you will get that call soon :-)

alisma, that is an awesome story. I bet he is one very proud grandfather :-)

Comment by Caryn321 on March 27, 2012 at 7:25pm: Oh dang alismz as JLo would say I just got goosies - what an amazing stoy! Thanks for sharing!

Comment by alismz on March 27, 2012 at 7:14pm: ...so anybody got any tears left for a lil' story? My father-in-law, not much of a church go-er, has many opinions and generally has no trouble sharing all of them...but when it comes to his days as a MARINE, its all hush hush. Last November his six kids read an article that our local paper had wrote in honor of the Vets and learned a wee bit about their fathers' experience via the paper. Our kids were thrilled to read about "grandpa t."

Last night "grandpa t." called my husband to stop by to pick up a small gift for our SAILOR's graduation... he sat and told of the years & places this little book had traveled faithfully packed in his MARINE gear. With tears in my husbands eyes, grandpa t. handed him a small pocket sized black leather bound New Testament bible he had received from a sunday school teacher as a child.

The bible had never been mentioned before... I think he waited a whole generation for one of his flesh & blood to serve their country...and make him the proudest man with no words to describe his pride, just a simple gesture from his heart!

Comment by dawny64 on March 27, 2012 at 7:11pm: AMD my Sailor said everyone from the division passed that went through BS and you woild have heard if he wasn't going to be taken the test. Hey maybe he was loading upon snacks because my Sailor cut our call short when he seen them walk by lol!

Comment by eyeronics on March 27, 2012 at 7:09pm: Just read somewhere that it was 7:30 am..

Comment by eyeronics on March 27, 2012 at 7:02pm: Wondering if anyone would know the answer to this question... If my sailor isn't flying out until Sunday and I get to spend all day Saturday with him... What time do I get to pick him up on Saturday?
