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 Andrewsmom on March 1, 2012 at 10:56pm: I mean, "Hi, mom".

Comment by Andrewsmom on March 1, 2012 at 10:55pm: My son tried to leave a message but the connection must have been lost because all I heard was "I mom" and then nothing. But, he talked to his dad so all is good.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 1, 2012 at 10:51pm: Andresmom - Happy Birthday! Sorry if it is belated!

Comment by Dani (11/109) on March 1, 2012 at 10:47pm: I was so upset. I missed it by Five minutes. But thinking about the message definitely cheers me up...even if it does make me cry every time I hear it :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 1, 2012 at 10:45pm: cshell - TY for the info on the BLUES for PIR!

Do you know what Flag? There is a Discussion up above that shows all of the flags they can earn. I'll bump it up.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 1, 2012 at 10:42pm: Oh, I am so sorry for the missed calls :-(.

The one bright side is you can play the message over and over. ;-)

Comment by Andrewsmom on March 1, 2012 at 10:39pm: And to rmwjcpa....no internet contact with my son.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 1, 2012 at 10:39pm: Actually, Michaels Mom I think he may have meant that Week 1 Day 4 was on the 22nd of Feb...(They usually put the week first then the day)...that is actually right on track.

Comment by Andrewsmom on March 1, 2012 at 10:38pm: Cshell0909....that three hour intensive workout must be what my son was talking about. He was happy that he was called away for watch during that time. Fire Team mom, yes, the USPS has been really bad lately. I guess due to impending cutbacks announced recently.

Comment by rmwjcpa on March 1, 2012 at 10:26pm: Andrewmom - Thanks - I won't give up hope for a letter to come still this week. I know family and friends have been writing to him so maybe he wrote to others and ran out of time for his Mom and Dad. He is in Ship, 9 Div 112 with PIR on 4/6. Another Mom in same Ship/Div posted that she talked to her son online today (?) and that he told her that they earned a call home tomorrow. So we shall see - I will be staying even closer to my phones for sure. Has anyone else been able to communicate online with their SRs?
