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 CaptainFatso on March 13, 2012 at 12:22am: We'll be easy to spot alismz. My father in law will have figured out a way to let everyone know he was an Annapolis grad, I'll be messing with the honor recruit and my wife will be covering her face while secretly spying on a new family to join.

Comment by alismz on March 12, 2012 at 11:45pm: lovd the squirrel pic, we have the darkest black ones here in northern mn!

capt'n did you order a scarf for your bride...im thinking ribbons for you so we can spot you in the crowd ; )

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 12, 2012 at 10:30pm: eyeronics don't listen to him that would be mean, but it is funny lol.

Captain I think your wife would say that was a good answer :-)

The RDC in my daughters division didn't believe that there were white squirrels where we live. She had one week to prove it with a picture. I'm not sure but I think she was threatened with IT but it was said in a joking manor. Needless to say I had to produce the evidence lol. They do exist and here is a pic of one on our front porch. Same pic I sent to her.

Comment by CaptainFatso on March 12, 2012 at 8:19pm: Lala.. I'm married. I have no former girl friends. In fact I think its a Navy Reg.

Comment by CaptainFatso on March 12, 2012 at 8:14pm: LOL eyeronics! I am certain that they would never do anything like that anymore.

By the way, you've got some pictures on you and your SR on your profile page.

You know that one where the two of you are wearing superman costumes?

While I HIGHLY recommend that NO ONE in his boot camp division EVER see that picture (especially his RDCs), I would suggest that you keep it as leverage.

It may come in handy. That picture is worth at least 50 trips of him accompanying to greeting card section of your local store without complaint.

In fact, just for fun, tell him that you're having envelopes made with that picture on the outside and that you will be sending future letters to him in those envelopes.

Comment by eyeronics on March 12, 2012 at 8:12pm: HAHAHA, knowing my SR he would love that... He told me to send him lots of pictures of hm and his friends. I sent him one oh him and all of his friends in superhero costumes... He asked for it! Hope he didn't get made fun of hehehe

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 12, 2012 at 8:11pm: Thanks so much eyeronics :-) Glad you like them!!!

Catian, you did not say how your girl did in the contest or if the pic you had was really of your girl lol.

Comment by eyeronics on March 12, 2012 at 8:08pm: I read that if you miss checking in with them that you can still get a gate pass. The same way you go about getting one when you want to meet a minor at the gate.

Comment by diannep on March 12, 2012 at 8:06pm: omama: Your sailor (with you with him/her) has to get you the airport gate pass. This isn't a problem as long as you have proper ID. They get it from their airlines counter. It is a special "privilege" for military families.

Comment by eyeronics on March 12, 2012 at 7:52pm: No, I haven't received any "real" information about when my SR flies out. (Going to Pensacola as well)
