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 04/27/2012

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 RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 9, 2012 at 1:45pm: I got the form letter today as well....blm...was there an area for your recruit to write something on yours?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 9, 2012 at 9:58am: Good Morning!

Comment by diannep on March 9, 2012 at 9:04am: Good Girl, Lala!

Positive thinking/lots of prayers, blm. Most make their PIR date!

Comment by blm on March 8, 2012 at 9:03pm: I got the form letter today with this PIR date-I am praying this is the date because my son graduates college the following Friday-what a dilema that would be!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 8, 2012 at 6:13pm: Me to Dianne, but today is day 7 with no junk food and no chocolate. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.
Connie, that bread sounds amazing. I need to see if it is available in my area of NC. I bet it is yummy. Do you ever sell it and ship it? If so I would live to buy some. :)

Comment by diannep on March 8, 2012 at 1:18pm: Welcome, Chocoholic! Love the name...and...ME TOO! :-)

Comment by Craig on March 8, 2012 at 11:41am: Conny - Sorry, I forgot.... To a parent BS means Battle Stations, however, to a sailor it mean "Bull Sh*t". It means someone is lying.

In my picture, the caption says "do not blend with ANYTHING". I hosted up the BS flag because the NSU's do blend in with something. They blend in with the floor in the next picture....

Just like this picture. If they say "It doesn't blend in with ANYTHING", guess what? It does. Try to find the guy....

Comment by Chocoholic (ship 02, div 924) on March 8, 2012 at 10:59am: Just got confirmation yesterday in the letter that my daughter will graduate on this date! Thank goodness; if her graduation had been one week or even two weeks later, I would not be able to go. I see a lot of discussions in this group that I need to go back and read, so I'll have to post later!

Comment by Conny Ahoi on March 8, 2012 at 9:55am: @ Lala Ribbon ... Bread dont have to be your downfall... our bread is so healthy, i got no preservatives or chemicals in it, i grind most of my own flour since in the other flours everything good from the wheat kernel got stripped away.... with my breads you get ALL the nutrions, Fibers and Oils that are GOOD FOR YOU ... we eat lots and lots of breads in europe and we dont have problems as much with weight... or other healthissues...

Comment by Conny Ahoi on March 8, 2012 at 9:53am: Good Morning everyone ... it is raining and we have extreme gusty winds this morning ... i made it back in my schedule ... i bake yesterday ... and i tell you, you can be proud of me ... i roughed my self together slapped me in the face and said, i have to be strong ... he is strong doing this... so i need to be strong ... @ <3FireTeamLader... oh sound great ... you know where your dad is from .... wow ... now i want to hear more from you and you know this way you can distract me from my MISSING MY SON THOUGHTS... i am from Baden Wuerttemberg and i live in the states since 92 ...i cant wait until they had PIR and graduate so i can make german breads and ship to my son and his fellows ... i finally washed the cloth ... i was doing the same thing... i was dragging around the box, putting on of his smelly shirts behind my neck over the shoulder carying around allover with me ...
