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 shermur (ship 12 div 121) on April 7, 2012 at 11:11am: Congrats to all the Sailors in this PIR! My SR daughter was to be in this PIR date, but we have high hopes she will graduate on Apr 13 PIR! So wish I could have met some you that I connected with. Don't be strangers; I feel that we all have become family in one way or another.

Comment by alismz on April 6, 2012 at 9:52pm: same here ktrsb!...still processing AND catching up on rest- thanks to all for posting photos.... agree with eyeronics, what a joy to see codesmom's pic of those hugging in background...

PIR went well, big tears were when the door lifted and our 097's were on the ready...and also when the chaplain prayed for the Richardson 097 family at the loss of their Sailor daughter...prayers will continue.

Comment by ktrsb CVN-75 on April 6, 2012 at 10:39am: An amazing experience. Still processing.

Comment by eyeronics on April 3, 2012 at 9:01pm: CodeMansMom- Nice photo! I love that you can see all of the people in the background.. loved ones hugging their new sailors :)
