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 diannep on March 22, 2012 at 8:22am: jennifercrazyplace: You hit the nail on the head! With so many different personalities, backgrounds, ages, goals, life experiences, etc in one division, it is hard to get all on the same page...and they may struggle, but eventually they get there. And the friendships they make during bootcamp are phenomenal! Struggling together creates a great "bond!"

Comment by cathy on March 22, 2012 at 8:03am: Hey jennifercrazyplace I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the explanation. It calms me considerately to know that your son has the same slant on things as my son. I thought the night issues might only be a problem my son was having. He takes things so personal. I guess he better get over himself real fast in the Navy.

Comment by jenniferzcrazyplace on March 22, 2012 at 2:56am: Thought i would share, I was surfing the site and saw this about the mail at RTC.

Comment by jenniferzcrazyplace on March 22, 2012 at 2:49am: ♥FireTeamLeaderWife♥ aka FTLW, I tried and it will not let me change it either. I can delete it, and start a new one only. Maybe because i am not the originator of the discussion. Sorry I tried!

Comment by veteranmom on March 21, 2012 at 11:34pm: Melinda- has anyone heard from their sr in 133?

Comment by jenniferzcrazyplace on March 21, 2012 at 11:31pm: @BLM!! That is so great..!!

Comment by blm on March 21, 2012 at 11:20pm: YEA mail is in!!!!!She wrote 6 letters. Foods not bad, IT tough make she says she'll be buff, and will look "snazzy" in her uniform She also wrote of a time they had IT and some were ready to give up and everyone started chanting and yelling" we are family until the day we die-it was inspirational. the the people(or most) who questioned being here don't question it anymore hooray 924! OK I am better now having gotten letters. To all of waiting I will keep you in my prayers.

Comment by jenniferzcrazyplace on March 21, 2012 at 11:01pm: @Cathy, yes it is really hard....

I got a call AMAZING! I got my call today its been 30 days since i heard my kiddos voice. He stated that originally there were 88 people in this div and now they are down to 76. He also said yes, they are having a tough time working together, and get a lot of extra exercise because of it. He is not to happy about it but, He said that it only makes him stronger in the end. He also said that everyone in this DIV passed the first written test and the earned there first Flag as a Team, he hopes that because of this, maybe some of the other SR, will try harder to become a TEAM!! :o) Oh and he got all 4 wisdom teeth out! He told me that they are trying to work things out at night, with issues they are having. With 76, people, that is a lot of different personality's coming together to be one. I told him it will take time and try to help the others if needed! So we just need to keep supporting them.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 21, 2012 at 10:29pm: Sorry I was MIA today. My Sailor unexpectedly got 3 days off and decided to come home :-) So happy to see her today after 11 weeks. But I can tell you those 11 weeks didn't seem 1/10th as long as bootcamp :-) I hope you all had a great day. I will catch up on posts tomorrow ;-)
