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 mzsmonica on February 26, 2012 at 6:33pm: hello everyone have nice sunday.

Comment by diannep on February 26, 2012 at 4:33pm: nan: Sorry to say...it can be any time, any day! It may not be exactly at the 3 week mark either, Just stay "attached" to your cell phone during bootcamp...even taking it to the mailbox and bathroom! Lots of calls have been missed during those times, by the way. So--- attached to you!

Comment by Amac23 on February 26, 2012 at 2:19pm: I am wondering the same. I cannot believe it's 25 per checked bag. So, I am packing light but somehow don't think the weather will allow it!

By the way, Denise- I went through Orbitz and got a great deal. RT LAX/ Chicago for 219!

Comment by denise on February 26, 2012 at 12:10pm: Made reservations at Holiday Inn Express for PIR and the weekend. (my SR did say there was possible weekend liberty with it being Easter...) Now for the airline reservation. Does anyone know how likely it will be to have snow? I live where our blood is thin, so i would like to plan ahead

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on February 26, 2012 at 10:56am: Hey FTLW did you try calling the police department? When our dog got out, it turned out that a police officer found her and brought her back to the department until shift change. They had a blast with her there. Maybe....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 26, 2012 at 10:49am: Good Morning everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday, more prayers for your pup FTLW. I hope the little darling finds her way home :-)

Comment by diannep on February 26, 2012 at 8:45am: Ok, ladies. There are now discussion groups above for all divisions in this PIR group. Please join your group so you can get to know other N4Moms who have SRs with yours.

However, please DO stay on this main board too. We N4Moms veterans don't have time to go into all of the discussion groups on a regular basis to catch questions/dispense info, so that usually happen here on the main board.

Comment by diannep on February 26, 2012 at 8:42am: Continuing to pray, FTLW, that the little girl pup will still find her way home...either on her own or with the help of a "friend."

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 25, 2012 at 11:13pm: I have some catch up reading to do!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 25, 2012 at 11:10pm: Folks,

Thank you all so much…your kind supportive words mean a lot!

I am sorry for the “just a dog” comment…did not mean it in a frivolous way. Ours are definitely family. We have Border Collies…and have competed with our old boys (almost 12 and 13) in Sheepherding trials. A ranch in a farm loving rural State is the retirement goal. One thing at least…I got you to share some wonderful stories about your beloved furry Family Members!

Still no little dog. She does have a collar on with a tag…but she does not go to strangers well. Like I said “she has issues”…we have spent $$$ and much time but there are some things that no amount of sheep have fixed. Basically…she gets “lost” when she steps one foot off of our property. (sigh)

Thank you all again.

FTLW
