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 hishunny Ship 9 Div 138 on March 14, 2012 at 9:59pm: People with active military I.D and retired I.D dont count toward the 4 people on your list.

Comment by 1ProudMom on March 14, 2012 at 9:25pm: Prayin ~ I read the same thing about the military cards (I think in the same place I read about the under 12).
And yes, thanks to all the veteran moms/wives that so willingly put in all this extra time to help us newbies!! ((HUGS)) to each of you!

Comment by 1ProudMom on March 14, 2012 at 9:22pm: Yes! Welcome to hishunny!
Prayin ~ I did get my box this past Monday. So glad yours came!!
Lala ~ thanks for verifying that! I hope they'll clarify that with the SRs and if not, will they allow her to change it?

Comment by prayin'navymom Ship 009/Div.138 on March 14, 2012 at 9:21pm: 1proudMom....I have a lot of questions about the list as well. I also heard that anyone with a military card doesn't need to be on the list at all and can attend even if the SR already has 4....I am sure somebody will give us more info as we go along. :)

FTLW...your knowledge and willingness to take the time to share with all of us new to all of this, is awesome! Thanks!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 14, 2012 at 9:18pm: 1ProudMom that is true, take them with you but put someone else on the list and take them too :-)

Comment by prayin'navymom Ship 009/Div.138 on March 14, 2012 at 9:18pm: Welcome hishunny..........I see you found the page!

Hi all ....gulp! Typing through tears....the box came! Kind of glad to get that over with! Will open it this weekend with his gf (hishunny).....did anyone else get their box? No letter though......Hope you all have a great night!

Comment by 1ProudMom on March 14, 2012 at 7:45pm: Regarding the guests that the Recruits have to list - is it true that if a child 12 or under is attending, they do not have to be listed and do not count toward the 4 (I see they must have a birth certificate or SS card brought with them to PIR)? My son just turned 12 and my daughter had hoped that my husband, other daughter, son, myself and her boyfriend could attend.

Anyone have any particulars on this?

Comment by 1ProudMom on March 14, 2012 at 7:22pm: I love this! You all keep me entertained (AND informed) throughout the day while I'm at work. I get the updates on my phone but can't always answer.

FTLW - thanks so much for the clarification on Rate and Rating.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 14, 2012 at 6:37pm: Asked my son...the official name is Garrison Cap...but it's just called a cap! (Exclamation his, LOL!)
