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 Dawn "Mike's Mom" 09/111 on March 31, 2012 at 3:45am: While I'm on here, and not stalking, I have a question for the vets. My son said in one of his letters that there was 10 Divisions graduating 4/6. I copied and pasted what the navy boot camp website says about there only being 7. in his phone call, he told me there really was 10 and that he wasn't sure where the information about 7 came from, but they have been practicing and there is 10 Divisions. Do you think the extra 3 are the 900 Divisions that will be performing at his PIR?

Comment by Dawn "Mike's Mom" 09/111 on March 31, 2012 at 3:24am: And by the way...he called twice, both times very short. The first time I could hear someone in the background yelling something about their backpacks. He said I have to go. Called back a few mins later n we talked again just briefly and then I heard someone in background yelling for 111 to get the "f"off the phones. I said do you need to go? He said, yes, but next week we have free time so I should be able to call back.

Comment by Dawn "Mike's Mom" 09/111 on March 31, 2012 at 3:16am: Tammi, my son said that they had a few injuries, but they came back and all 88 that started graduated. He said there was one that recycled temporarily with them but he ended up quitting because he couldn't pass the run. When I asked who it was, he said it didn't matter because he was only with them a short time. I know for a fact your son has been in our unit from the beginning so he is a Sailor!

Comment by tlwbetz on March 31, 2012 at 12:13am: trandles - it wouldn't be SO bad, but I missed his only other call... killed me... I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow... at least maybe tonight I will sleep... we are leaving out from here Wednesday 3PM - when my husband's gets off work - we are bringing my 78 yr father so we might need to stop somewhere (half way) - not terribly far but... can't wait to see our son... the sailor ... & meet everyone

Comment by trandles (Ship 09/Div 111) on March 31, 2012 at 12:03am: tlwbetz - I have a son in that divison also. He called and we talked for about a minute but he said the whole divison passed. Several other SR's have said the same thing. So I think Dani is right he probably had watch but they are all Sailors. Some of them said they should get to call next week sometime. So we shall see. I am so sorry you didn't get a call.

Comment by tlwbetz on March 30, 2012 at 11:44pm: removed thank you Dani... yes that is what everyone on the main group was saying...

Comment by Dani (11/109) on March 30, 2012 at 11:37pm: Your son may have had watch while they were calling? I'm not sure, but usually that's why they miss expected calls and such.

Also, I'm not positive, but I think I read somewhere that we're not supposed to post last names, so someone may get onto you about that.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 30, 2012 at 9:30pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors and their families, you survived ;-)

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 30, 2012 at 9:25pm: CONGRATS TO ALL THE NEW SAILORS!!!!

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 7:13pm: For anyone still wanting to write letters, be sure to copy them and take those with you in case they don't receive them. They are forwarded...but we all know how that goes!
