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 lisaf6996 on March 27, 2012 at 12:55pm: I am flying American, SW was too much money either way. My son is staying in GL for school. He will be there for the rest of the year. I plan on going up with his brothers in June to see him. I will look at flights traveling that way then. Thanks

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 12:31pm: lisa: I'm not in this PIR group...just one of the N4Moms veterans who has stayed on the PIR sites to help (over 2 yrs now). When we went up for PIR, we flew American and arrived mid/late afternoon day before PIR. We booked through the weekend (out on Sunday morning) in case we could spend more time with our sailor. As it was, he flew out Sat. morning, so my other son and I did some sightseeing for the rest of the time.

When do you leave? Wish I had known back then about Southwest out of Ft Lauderdale. Flies either into Milwaukee (less traffic/45 minute straight shot to GL) or Chicago-Midway...no change fee, 2 bags checked for free. As it was, I had to change our flights once...sigh...paid change fee.

Comment by lisaf6996 on March 27, 2012 at 11:35am: Diannep when are you arriving? When are you leaving?

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 9:49am: lisa: Sent you a "friend request" with the Battlestations info for 107. Also commented on your page.

Comment by LilBigMansMom/Ship11/Div101 on March 27, 2012 at 9:34am: Good Morning to all! Congrats to all of you who has Sailors... I hope to get my phone call today...

Comment by lisaf6996 on March 27, 2012 at 8:34am: Good morning everyone, Just 2 more days and north bound. When are the 107 expected to Battlestations. I see some are already thru.

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 7:51am: Calls from 099/100/101/102 can start as early as 2pm GL time today, so have phones handy all day, ladies!

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 7:49am: Congrats to the new sailors of 097/098/920/809! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 7:49am: Just sent Message to Group with remaining BattleStations dates. Don't forget to check your junk mail/spam folders (in personal emails, not N4Moms emails) for this as sometimes these messages are kicked into there.

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2012 at 7:45am: reno: There is a discussion group above for those needing rides from the airport--I just bumped it up towards the top. Be sure to post on there too! If someone is having SARGE pick them up about the time you get in, you may be able to ride with them. He charges by the car, so that would reduce the price for all of you.
