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 treeharris on April 29, 2012 at 1:09pm: peggyproudnavymom - please know that in no way sounds corny! My son our new sailor, his father, and I didn't have a lot of time to spend so we also went out to eat then spent the remaining time in the hotel room just talking and relaxing. My son said "Mom why do you keep staring at me" I said, "Son I didn't realize how much I missed until now." I also want to thank people on this site who help me through boot camp!
