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 cathie on March 30, 2012 at 10:30pm: We decided to drive to PIR today and the lines went quick. We left our hotel at 6:30 am. My husband dropped us off before entering the parking garage, we got into the walking line and it was a steady stream. We were able to get great seats and my husband found us right away. Easy-peasy :) PIR was amazing!

Comment by Teach on March 30, 2012 at 10:21pm: Anybody got pictures to share yet? Specifically looking for one of the chorus...

Hope everyone else had a great day!!!!

Comment by Freese71 on March 30, 2012 at 12:38pm: CONGRATES TO ALL SR'S WHO GRADUATED TODAY!!!! GREAT JOB...

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 12:36pm: virginiagirl: Too funny! Yep, every PIR has some dressed like that...my 25 yr old (at the time) son, who was with me, and who is not shocked by much...said, "OMG" as one strolled by (or should I say...strutted!) before PIR started. I swear...I thought she would fall over and break her ankle...her heels were so tall. The "people watching" part before PIR was one of our fav parts! :-) But happiness and joy was all around you, right? We LOVED that...such a great time...can't wait to see the piks from this PIR group...know that you had a FULL HOUSE!

Enjoy the rest of the time with your sailors everyone!

And, would love to hear how you all felt about PIR? Also, we N4Moms veterans (you are all part of this group now, by the way, so join us on the site to help the newbies in the PIR groups)...would love to know if we need to "correct" any of our info. So please be sure to post on here if something has changed and we are giving out inappropriate info. Most of our own sailors PIRed a long time ago...and we know there can be changes...so we depend on you all to let us know. Any info you can post on here --when all settles down-- will be greatly appreciated!
