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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 8, 2012 at 4:30am: BREAD!!!! Conny...send some MY way...I am German on my Fathers side...I have been told that my great grandfather owned a Bakery when he first came to this country!

I know you can't send it now...but what a treat for your son if you bring some to PIR!

Comment by Craig on March 8, 2012 at 2:40am: Time to raise the BS flag...

Time to call BS....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 7, 2012 at 9:59pm: That bread sounds yummy. Bread is also one of my downfalls lol.

Comment by blm on March 7, 2012 at 6:37pm: I love the countdown clock! Got my box last Friday, but anxiously awaiting form letter-hoping in the next few days.

Comment by diannep on March 7, 2012 at 1:37pm: CRGNavyMom: Start a discussion above for 128! The other ladies will find you!

Ok, Craig...nice to "offer" to have the goodies sent to you! I say...she can make them and bring them to the MeetNGreet and for her sailor to enjoy after PIR! YUM!

Funny story when my son was there: It was Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays the year he was at bootcamp. He received a package from TX. Knew no one in TX then (he does now and lives there!)...RDCs grilled him on who would have sent it. He had no clue. He had to open it...Christmas goodies...of course, they were taken from him...and he saw the RDCs enjoying them later in the day! We never found out who sent them, but since many were writing him, I have a feeling that some fav teachers, etc sent them. There was no ID in the box. He thought the whole story was pretty funny.

Comment by CRGNavyMom on March 7, 2012 at 1:22pm: Is anyone else's child in 07/128?

Comment by blm on March 7, 2012 at 12:59pm: craig-I am glad my daughter got her hair cut before she left-bet they don't condition and blow dry!

Comment by Craig on March 7, 2012 at 10:29am: If you send any food, then he will get Intensive Training (IT'd). Which means he will be:

Jumping Jacks (usually 40-50 reps)
Leg Lifts, Left Side (again, 40-50)
8-Count Body Builders (25-30)
4-Count Mountain Climbers (20-30)
4-Count Sit-ups (20-30)
Leg Lifts, Right Side (40-50)
Down...............................Up Push-ups (25 or so)

He won't be too happy with you. I know you mean well, but you don't want him to stand out. You want him to just blend in with the others. It's the only time in the Navy where you want to be average.

Save that good food while he's in "A" school. He (and his friends) will love you for it.

btw: If you already made that food, I'd hate it to go to waste, so being the nice guy I am, send it to me. I'll make sure it gets properly disposed of...
