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 rmwjcpa on March 1, 2012 at 3:25pm: That is so sad. We rarely have tornados in Oregon. It would be scary!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 1, 2012 at 3:21pm: It was vet sad that several lost their lives and many lost their homes and businesses. Tornados are so scary.

Comment by rmwjcpa on March 1, 2012 at 2:57pm: Tornado! Yikes, that was one thing I was not worried about - now I am. :(

Comment by denise on March 1, 2012 at 2:55pm: Re: the tornado - when i heard the town i had to get out my IL map just to see how close it was. so sorry for them, but rellieved for us

Comment by Andrewsmom on March 1, 2012 at 12:22pm: Flight arrangments to Chicago complete! Hurry up and get here 4/6.

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 1, 2012 at 11:06am: How do we get the word out about this awesome site? My friends n family hear about it all the time. Even my co workers get an earful!

Comment by Proud MM Mom on March 1, 2012 at 9:53am: Amac23, i thought i was the only one who had a panic attack. my husband could figure out what was wrong with me until i was able to calm down and explain it to him.

I think the recruiters should tell the mom's about this but it in one of their handout that they give them. i found this site by googling navy boot camp. it has so many interesting things on it. i showed the videos of boot camp to my son when he first started talking about the navy.

Hoping we all get letters today!!!

Have a Great day everyone!! i have to yell at the foreman for not pulling packing slips off of the freight, therefore my end of month inventory is out of wack.

Comment by Amac23 on March 1, 2012 at 9:47am: Good morning and happy maybe-mail day!

Everyone should be here! I had to go to my SR's recruiter office yesterday and I was talking about this site and they so didn't get it. And I said 'You guys should tell everyone about it- it's a great source of support'. And the recruiter tries to stay poker faced and says 'We do. We uh..usually just tell moms".

Mmmmhmmmm.

By the way- am I the only one who had a momentary panic attack when the news reported that a deadly tornado ripped through IL yesterday??
