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 eyeronics on March 27, 2012 at 6:57pm: AMD's mom- Sorry to hear that you never got your call but like CaptainFatso said.. No news is still good news!

NukeMom- SO happy for you! I hope everything goes well with your son :) :)

Comment by CaptainFatso on March 27, 2012 at 6:53pm: AMD.. Unfortunately, some kids stand a watch during those calls. What's key to remember, is that you will get a call IF his graduation date changes. In other words, unless he calls to say otherwise, HE IS graduating Friday.

As for my kid from 098, she made NO mention of anyone not passing.

Comment by Nuke Mom on March 27, 2012 at 6:43pm: Have a Sailor ya!! Can't wait till Friday not only is my son going throw PIR but he plans on asking his girlfriend to marry him. Me and his Dad are bring the ring and getting it to him right after we find him. Hope she says yes for I love her too.

Comment by AMD's mom on March 27, 2012 at 6:39pm: Congrats to all of the New Sailors and their families! Is there anyone out there that has not received their "I'm a Sailor call" from Ship 12 Div 098? I spoke with my SR on Thursday and he said that he would call Monday. Each of the three phone calls I have received (in the past) from him have always been around the same time and that time has passed both yesterday (obviously) and today. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, I am pulling my hair out! Help! ;-}

Comment by all5roc on March 27, 2012 at 6:07pm: "Like,Like,Like" on all Sailor calls!!!

Comment by eyeronics on March 27, 2012 at 6:01pm: I have a sailor :D :D :D :D :D :D 11/101

Comment by dawny64 on March 27, 2012 at 5:31pm: Congrats everyone!

Comment by Navy Dad Charlie on March 27, 2012 at 5:23pm: Now hear this,now hear this. The United States Navy has a new Sailor! Brian passed all his requirements and completed Battle Stations-21 this morning! We got a phone call from him around 1530 (that's 3:30PM for you landlubbers). He has been up since 0530 yesterday morning. He was able to buy some M&Ms and a Dr. Pepper before his call to us so the caffeine and sugar rush should have kicked in by now. He sounded exhausted and excited. We are SO VERY proud of him!
