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 diannep on March 22, 2012 at 9:16pm: trandles: Contact Lala...now! :-) She'll get the ribbons to you~!

Comment by shermb on March 22, 2012 at 9:03pm: Amac, I got the same info you did about them not being able to sit. Didn't know it was for the rest of boot camp though.:( Going to be a long two weeks for them. My son is the ships Yeoman. Sounds like they picked the older SR's for postions. I don't care what anyone says, I feel bad for these guys since I'm sure it wasn't all of them that messed up. Hope the peer pressure works. Of course there's the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 22, 2012 at 8:38pm: Lala np it's all good. You did a great job, keeping me posted and getting the ribbons out!
