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 April 28, 2012 at 12:30am: Thanks Lala! What WERE you thinking! Wow. What a day! You go girl!
My son is so excited about the Captain's Cup. It was fun to listen to him trying to plan out the strategy of which event he should enter. He said he's really good at 3 of them but can only enter one of them. LOL! I hope they have a blast!!!

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 28, 2012 at 12:25am: Fishingurl, I will be doing my best to get as many pics as possible of the Performance group. Then I will try my hardest to post them as soon as I can. It may be a couple of days, because I won't have my computer, and this will be my first time with this camera, and video recorder, and I'm as UN-knowledgeable as you can get when it comes to this kind of thing. But please know, I will try until I get it! :)

Comment by Fishingurl04 on April 28, 2012 at 12:17am: Hello Ladies! I have been lurking your group, in hopes of possibly recruiting a few ladies to take some pics of the Honor Guard at your PIR.. My hubby will be performing and then graduating in the next few weeks, but wanted to try and get an early glimpse :) Thank you girls in advance! :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 27, 2012 at 11:50pm: CB it could have something to do with the version of MS Word you have. Hopefully your son can help you figure it all out :-)

I will be away most of the day tomorrow. Tomorrow night is Prom for our 2 seniors so we will be busy with pics and all that fun Prom stuff most of the day, along with having a yard sale tomorrow morning lol. What was I thinking??? I will be back tomorrow night. Have a wonderful Saturday :-) Happy Captains Cup tomorrow for your soon to be Sailors :-) YAY one step closer to PIR!!!

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 27, 2012 at 11:39pm: FTLW and Lala, I can't get the template to open right :( It loads, and I see the border but the rest is blank, I'm sure it's not loading correctly. I'm gonna have my older son come help me tomorrow. Hope he gets it. Super cute cup of coffee by the way! I'm sending that pic to my granddaughter. She opens her little coffee/snack shop in the mall on the first of May. She will love that pic!

Julie!!!! We are almost there girl!!!!! What a GREAT letter!

Comment by aj2daway on April 27, 2012 at 11:32pm: juliebelle- the design on top of FTLW's coffee was made with Bailey's.

got my 3rd and final(?) letter too!!! Was so excited but got a lot less info than you did-maybe my SR should copy your SR's letter. j/k I know copying is not allowed.

Comment by aj2daway on April 27, 2012 at 11:19pm: ok, diannep, got the updated email. thank you!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 27, 2012 at 8:27pm: Okay thanks FTLW :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 27, 2012 at 8:12pm: ...but I still can't type..."open" not iopen..unless it's one of these:

...or for some it's this...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 27, 2012 at 8:05pm: LaLa...if this is a Word doc...you'd have to attach it as a File as far as I know, then folks could iopen it up from there...you can't make a JPG out of it. Or just take a pic like you did.

To attach a saved document from your computer:

Click the little paper clip icon in the header bar of a comment/reply box. Here....it is the fifth one over from the left. It will open up a box in order for you to browse and choose a file.

Click OK.

Once it adds the link you can edit it to open in it's own window.

Hold your mouse over it and left click.

You will get a bar that says "Link...blah,blah,blah...Edit / Delete".

Slide your mouse down to "Edit".

A new box will open up an you can edit the Link text and change from "Same Window" to "New Window".

Click OK to save.

You can also do this for external net links.

By link text I mean this:

Here is a link to the doorknob doc Door%20Hanger.docx

...now I will change the Link Text to a catchier name...

Super Fabulous Doorknob Hanger for your Hotel Room!!!!! (LOL)

See...fun!
