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 AMD's mom on July 9, 2012 at 10:20pm: Hello all, glad to hear that most if not all of our Sailors are progressing well! My Sailor is also going over to Japan in a few months. He starts C School in JAX in a few weeks and then off to Japan, then Guam! I am so happy for him but a nervous, emotional disaster for me! Oh and he is all tattooed up now......wrong move, but mom knows nothing!! I wish everyone well and be safe.

Comment by dawny64 on July 9, 2012 at 5:56pm: @ alismz you are so right i was wondering why they wasn't more pictures of our Sailors. Ok here is a update on my Sailor he will be going to Japan in a few months so proud of him.

Comment by alismz on July 9, 2012 at 12:27am: hey capt'n- great to hear the update!!! funny you mentioned the tatoo...our daughter asked my opinion yesterdays phone call...wanted to renew her faith and get a tatoo as reminder...wouldn't it be easier to buy a t-shirt??? hah!

dawny64- Keel was great!!!! (other than graduation showing dress whites, making it an obvious mass production)

Comment by dawny64 on July 8, 2012 at 3:52pm: @ CaptainFatso is your Sailor still in Greatlakes for A school mine is.

Comment by CaptainFatso on July 8, 2012 at 2:28pm: A quick update... My daughter is passing all of her courses in A school. She'll be an IT soon enough. In any case, she's having the time of her life... no tatoos yet.. THANK GOD.

So much so that I think I want to be a sailor when I grow up. In fact, I got to be a sailor again not too long ago. My company sent me to China. It was a hoot. I blogged about it here

Comment by dawny64 on June 20, 2012 at 5:24pm: Hey all! Just received my Keel in the mail going over it with a finetooth comb. Where is a magnifiing glass when you need 1.

Comment by alismz on May 15, 2012 at 10:07pm: oh girlies, did my heart good to hear some updates...just spent mother's day weekend with my Sailor and oldest daughter in P-cola....trying to be a big girl after saying goodbye but i'm fighting off tears again... Navylodge view and location was a dream! Hung out all weekend but pressure to study for classes and test sure caused an overshadowing cloud!

miss you all and our lil chats!
