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 05/04/2012!

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 Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on May 1, 2012 at 12:59am: Oh My Julie! So glad you were not up on some 3rd story balcony patio! That is so unsafe that the door locks behind you. My house has doors like that, and I get locked out all the time too. Someday, I'm changing the locks! :)

Comment by dttbram ship3/division139 on April 30, 2012 at 10:36pm: does anyone know if our sailors will be in whites or blues? just wondering;)

Comment by supernavymommy(PIR MAY 04/04/811 on April 30, 2012 at 10:27pm: The EOD move across the street for pre-dive then once that is finished they move to FL for dive. The pre-dive lasts 3 weeks once they get in a group.

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 30, 2012 at 9:12pm: Got my candle lit and pulling an all-nighter like my son is! :) Can't wait for the call!

I posted a link for some pics from TG-24's PIR on 4-27-12 in the Ship 02, Division Discussion above.

Julie, I'm gonna get my door hanger made finally. (While I'm up tonight) :)

FTLW, Thank You for the tips on working that weather widget! I'll be up wishing on Falling Stars tonight!

Lala, you couldn't possibly be worn out! You just GO, go, go girl! LOL!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 30, 2012 at 8:56pm: Thanks Julie :-)

CB I feel so inadequate after reading what you accomplished today lol. I got tired just reading you post. We had date night last night and went to a concert and didn't get in until 1am. I am used to being in bed no later than 11 so I am dragging today and going to bed early lol.

EOD- they normally don't post pics of Captains Cup. It is almost always held on Saturday and the staff gets the weekends off so no photographers there unless something special is going on. Of course all of us think anything our recruits do there is special and we want pictures lol.

Comment by Wyobraskamom on April 30, 2012 at 8:49pm: Candle lit here in Wyoming :)

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2012 at 8:46pm: Be sure blue candles are lit! :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 30, 2012 at 6:27pm: EOD has a three week prep school at GL before going on to their other schools.

Comment by Marie Ship 9 Div138 on April 30, 2012 at 5:43pm: EOD.. I'm not sure when was your letter dated my boyfriend wrote me a letter stating that he was leaving on the 15th but the orders were not final..

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 30, 2012 at 3:47pm: The Weather Widget is interactive.

If you hold your cursor over the top bar:

To the far left is the LIVE tab...this shows the current weather. If you go to another day or time and want to return to the current weather just click LIVE.

The tab next to it is the time you are at.

Next to that is the date. Click the arrows to advance or retreat OR click on it and you will get a Calendar and can click on any date.

The rest of the top bar is the current day. The little green marker is what the current time is. Slide your cursor across to go to any time of the day

The weather will change in the Picture accordinly. The Big Square box on the right with the written details will change also.

Just under the top bar to the left are the next four days of the week...click on those to look at them...click on the arrow to extend...it will add two more days.

All the little balloons, birds, planes, falling stars etc are added features I believe. But when it is windy or cloudy...those reflect the true weather conditions.
