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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 25, 2012 at 9:24pm: I hope they got to have Captains Cup. I know many of the bases were participating in the drill but from what I have heard not all of them were. My daughter's base was but my son-in-laws base was not.

Comment by eyeronics on March 25, 2012 at 8:27pm: Anyone get any letters about honor graduates?

Comment by alismz on March 25, 2012 at 2:30pm: Tidings of comfort & joy my friends!

Comment by 31mom on March 25, 2012 at 1:48pm: diannep, got your message and that is what my son indicated for 101 in his letters.

HOPE they had Captains Cup - sounds fun!

Comment by diannep on March 25, 2012 at 1:46pm: Ladies, just got a message from a 920 division person that changes up the schedule a bit. For those who received the schedule I sent, the change was to switch nights between 920 and 099/100. Can anyone else confirm this change (without posting dates please!).
