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 7, 2012 at 8:46am: Good morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 7, 2012 at 8:02am: I need to order one with two stars but I figured I should wait until my youngest, now 18, graduates in May and see if he joins like he says he is. Then when he gets out of bootcamp I will get one with 3 stars and hang it proudly.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 7, 2012 at 1:26am: This is a service flag:

The Blue Star represents any member of the family serving in the Armed Forces of the United States during any war or hostilities. They do not have to be stationed overseas or present were hostilities are taking place. Families "fly" them (the small ones are for your window and are the more traditional ones...there are some movies that have shown them and I think the website may mention them) to honor them. The number of stars represents each servicemember in your Family. If you get a lapel pin it is only authorized to have one star no matter how many servicemembers you have.

I have a one star that was given to me by my hubby's work and then I bought a two star when my son enlisted. Hubby's work also gave me a lapel pin.

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 6, 2012 at 10:57pm: Thanks Lala. I looked at the older posts but can't find the link

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 6, 2012 at 9:49pm: I am not sure of the link. I know there used to be a link for free ones but that promotion has ended. There are several sites that have them to buy so I would do a search and find the best price for what you are looking for. The flag does have one blue star on it and they are placed in the front window of your home as long as you have an active duty Sailor (or other military member) who is serving our country during a time of war. Once you receive the "I'm a Sailor" call you can hang it in your window. They also have the blue star flag window decals available at the NEX.

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 6, 2012 at 9:37pm: Ok so who wants to hold my hand and walk this airhead through flag ordering. If I understand this correctly it is a blue flag with one star on it that you hang in the window in your house to show you have someone who is serving in the military? And on the site that was posted you can have your sailors name embroidered on it? Sorry just don't want to get the wrong thing. And yes I need the link again too. I know I know I'm sorry

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 6, 2012 at 9:29pm: Yay for phone calls, I hope you all get one very soon :-) It just makes your day, your night, your week and it makes you breath so much easier :-) I have my fingers crossed for all of you :-)

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 6, 2012 at 9:19pm: I got my mid way call! I got my mid way call! Go 3/113! WOOOO HOOOO no I'm not too excited lol
