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 Caryn321 on February 17, 2012 at 6:42pm: Good point diannep & torismom congrats on the job! I'm started a new job search myself - hope to report similar news soon :). Glad the hubby will be joining you PIR - what a special day that will be!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 17, 2012 at 5:28pm: You guys are a great group (shh don't tell the others I said that...LOL I love all the PIR groups!).

We veteran moms just love to see you interact and support each other. I love seeing it still! I only got ONE (do you see that it STILL bothers me, LOL) letter from BC and my Questionnaire back! I am so glad I spent HOURS going through the ones on the sight and came up with a personal one to send to my son! It was a great way to finally have some personal "GOOD" news from him...in the end!

But reading about others mail...yes sometimes it made me very sad...but at least I "knew" what was going on with the division and the whole TG. (I did get a couple of extra Phone calls that the division earned though)

I stayed on this site because this site got me through a 6 month Deployment with hubby and our son enlisting while he was gone. As a reservist wife you don't live on base and have that everyday "likemindedness" of those around you and I discovered that in order for me to be able to support my servicemembers I in turn needed the support.

So here I am...and here I stay...until whenever I need to go!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 17, 2012 at 5:18pm: I have two Jokes from Craig about Marines (I'm not allowed to claim them because I am not Navy or former Navy LOL)

M.A.R.I.N.E. - My A$$ Rides In Navy Equipment

and

The Marines are a division of the Navy...the Famale division.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 17, 2012 at 5:14pm: BWA, HA, HA, HA!

Comment by CaptainFatso on February 17, 2012 at 5:05pm: @ Diennep... Sailor's have a word to describe those that "LOVE" boot camp. They're called Marines.

Comment by diannep on February 17, 2012 at 4:44pm: Caryn: It's not the ones who are "struggling" at this point of BC that I worry about...it is the ones who say they LOVE LOVE LOVE bootcamp that makes me concerned! HA! They may love being part of the Navy, but loving bootcamp? I don't think so. It is not "set up" to love. It is set up to turn them into sailors and that can be a rough process!

Comment by judge on February 17, 2012 at 4:38pm: Yes! I got my first letter today from my sr in div 04/809. I was delighted to get it and he sent one to his little sister too. However, both of the letters were asking about things back home and NOTHING about what it has been like, what they are doing or how it is going so far. Now just hoping to get that first call. Hope all in this division will be receiving letters too. All of our travel arrangements are done. Now we just wait it out. Hang in there. Letters will be coming so hang in there.

Comment by CaptainFatso on February 17, 2012 at 4:29pm: @ Steph... The food is great???

What has happened to my Navy? I mean, I told my daughter the food was great before she left, but I thought I was lying!

Well actually the food wasn't bad... Its the appearance that left a lot to be desired. Nothing like a tri-colored meat mixed into a mystery gravy poured over a weirdly shaped biscuit to whet the appetite.

Comment by alismz on February 17, 2012 at 3:39pm: REMINDER to all: no MAIL monday, so get those letters out to our SR's : )

funny capt! so our SR was correct that her 097 is just that!

omama & caryn-same here as lala, i jot down cute things to write each day, and lala would this phase of BC tactic work on turning husbands around? hah!
