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 22, 2012 at 8:07pm: Thanks ladies for commenting on my poem

Comment by RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 22, 2012 at 8:03pm: I got a call ....he was suppose to get an hr but his division has SR who don't want to listenor do what they are told so hegot to talk for about 8 min...he is section leader...he sounds good as well

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 22, 2012 at 7:45pm: I am so happy for you Katheeh..We only talked a few minutes but he said their were so many of the Div that want to call so he didn't want them to wait..He sounded so good. I did the same thing when I saw "847" I knew..Hope the other moms get to share the joy

Comment by Katheeh (07/129 PIR 04/27/2012) on March 22, 2012 at 7:41pm: I'm the happiest mom in the world!!! My SR called! He sounds so wonderful! He's had his wisdom teeth pulled and is a little under the weather so he's missed a few days. I was so taken aback when I looked at my cell phone and there was that "847" number that I couldn't think of all of the questions I've had in my mind. We only had a few minutes to talk and he was able to call his dad and talk for a few minutes too. Between Mom and Dad we got different information. To tell you the truth I wouldn't care if I didn't find out anything...just hearing his voice was all I needed.

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2012 at 7:38pm: Chocoholic: TimmysMama is absolutely correct. You should get Saturday time at the airport with her (the RDCs do not tell them this and if they are asked, they usually say that families can't come to the airport and wait with sailors....not true). So you will get Fri with her and some of Saturday, as long as you are willing to travel to the airport in the wee hours of the morning to meet her!

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 22, 2012 at 7:24pm: OMG my son call..Doing fine had dental work done..Div is working hard but no flag yet..some of the Sr's didn't pass the test..I guess that have worked out the problem Sr's and now are working hard toward their goal. He sounded upbeat..and said they know nothing about A-School..said that they are on week 3-1 I think and are getting their letters..I am a happy Mama

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 22, 2012 at 6:23pm: No calls or no new letter :(

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 22, 2012 at 6:23pm: How beautiful is that..I am crying you a RIVER!!

Comment by RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 22, 2012 at 6:01pm: Three weeks have gone by

Since we told you goodbye

I hugged you so tight I didn’t want to let go

For the next time I would see you, it would be in Chicago

These eighteen years flew by

Right before my eyes

From crawling up and down the stairs in our Beaumont town home

You went to running Track and Cross Country and making choices of your own

From carrying your pillow everywhere with you

You went to driving Rhonda and pulling a trailer too

You started your own landscaping business at the age of sixteen

For Jersey Shore you traded Lion King

You went from a shy little boy that sat on mommas lap

To visiting new places on the United States Map

In a few short weeks is Boot Camp Graduation Day

We are so anxious and excited for this is such an important day

You will march in a sailor and leave the little boy behind

This is the beginning of your new military life

You will have many adventures to write home about

You will be very successful I don’t have any doubt

I want you to know how proud we are of you

Though you traded in your pillow for a camo suit in blue

You will always be my little boy

When the day comes that I see you marching in on Graduation Day

Tears again I may cry

They will not be of sadness but of great pride and joy

Because of the Sailor my little boy has become

For now I am truly a proud Navy mom
