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 diannep on April 1, 2012 at 10:00am: dawny: Thanks for the parking pass info for GL students! I had thought that, but wasn't sure. Now we can pass accurate info onto future groups! Thanks!

Pictures are great, NukeMom. Handsome couple!

CaptainFatso: Too funny about the 2-fisted eating!

Congrats to all of the new sailors!

Comment by dawny64 on April 1, 2012 at 4:23am: PIR was wonderful and i lost it soon as the barn doors opened. Can't sleep because i have to say goodbye again in a few hours but i enjoyed the wonderful weekend we got to share. And just fyi if your Sailor has A school at Great Lakes you can use the parking pass from PIR to get your car on base the whole weekend. So we were able to drop him off at his ship instead of the gate.

Comment by CaptainFatso on April 1, 2012 at 1:15am: Ok... We took our daughter to lunch. It was an odd mix of good old fashioned civility with the "Yes Ma'am" responses to the waitress and barbaric two fisted eating that involved thrusting the food into her mouth with both hands. At least I won't have to worry about her dating any time soon.

Oh yeah, we took pictures. I just noticed that she's standing at attention in each one of them.

Comment by eyeronics on March 31, 2012 at 8:47pm: Great pictures Nuke Mom :)
