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.

How wonderful for you all to have a little extra time with them! If anyone has pictures of the Honor Guard I would be so greatful to see them, maybe I would see my SR, he was to perform at your PIR. Thank you!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 8, 2012 at 8:20am: Have a Blessed Day!

Comment by diannep on April 8, 2012 at 7:48am: FletchersWife: He should be able to call you shortly after he arrives. If he doesn't have a cell with him, he can borrow one or use a calling card. Not sure how soon after he arrives that he will call, but eventually he should. In the meantime, go on the Navy motto: NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!

tlwbetz: So glad that you had an extra day with your sailor!
