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 04/06/2012

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 tlwbetz on April 2, 2012 at 12:12am: THANKS Dani - I am just a very worried MOM - I am packing & I keep seeing where some have gotten to talk with their SR for an hour and some more than once... so I am just worried... I would be better IF I just knew why ...

Comment by Dani (11/109) on April 2, 2012 at 12:02am: Tlwbetz...even if you don't get a call, you'll be with your son in 4 days! Stop focusing on how long it's been, and focus on how soon PIR is and how much you'll be able to talk to him from then on.

Comment by tlwbetz on April 1, 2012 at 11:42pm: I am SO sad... I am sure there is a VERY good reason... but we have still NOT received a phone call ????? Can someone please say something that will reassure this poor doubtful side of me?

Comment by denise on April 1, 2012 at 11:30pm: lala - its incredible that the birds let you get close enough for pics! and such a pretty color of blue eggs - just in time for Easter (not that you would use them)

Comment by rmwjcpa on April 1, 2012 at 7:20pm: Wow - got another call today. He sounds a lot more rested then on Friday (after BS). He said he would get to call again this week. He wanted to know how I knew everything - I said from my Navy for Moms site:). I have been so grateful for this site - I would have been in complete darkness without it! Thank you, thank you and thank you!

Comment by diannep on April 1, 2012 at 4:59pm: Yes, they can purchase wifi at A School.

On the Captains Cup winners, read that Div 111 was one of the winners and 109 got second. There should be at least two winners, possibly three: All-Male Division, Integrated (Male/Female) Winner, and Motivational Chant Winner (one of the first 2 winners can also win the chant). Guess you will find out for sure tomorrow when RTC should post it on RTC FB.

carol: Not sure what you are asking about BattleStations. Not all divisions have gone through yet. So far, 109-112 have finished. The rest will go through soon. We can't post dates on the site. Three divisions still need to go through.

Comment by rmwjcpa on April 1, 2012 at 11:16am: Katze-Thank you!

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on April 1, 2012 at 11:13am: rmwicpa I believe there is wifi in their room for a small monthly fee. If they are lucky and they have a roommate that already got the wifi maybe they can work something out.At least that is what I've heard.
