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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 22, 2012 at 8:36am: Where should you sit during PIR? Here is some info that may help you decide :-) Dianne and I both agree the best seat is the highest row you can get in the lower section. If you sit in the balcony section the railing will be in your pictures. There will be a Sailor standing beside a DIV sign for each divisions section. To get the best possible view of your Sailor you will want to sit in that section. You may want to write to your Sailor and ask where they will be when they march in, 1st row next to last, right in the middle, front row carrying a flag etc. That way you can look for him/her. Some families never see their Sailor until after the ceremony and then later can pic them out on the DVD and some families watch the wrong Sailor the whole time lol. They all look so much alike. If they are in the performing division they won't march in like the other divisions. They will come from different places depending on what they are doing. There are a couple pictures below to show you the difference in sitting in the lower or upper section for taking pictures.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 22, 2012 at 8:36am: Thanks addy, I am so glad you love them :-)

aj2-Thanks I will let you know if I hear anything :-)

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 22, 2012 at 6:42am: If possible, please give a quick post as soon as calls start coming in so everyone can be ready. Don't want anyone to miss a call, especially those that have to work today, and may have their phones turned down or on vibrate. Gosh I hope they get to make that call they earned that they all talked about. :)

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on April 22, 2012 at 6:33am: FTLW, Wow! Closed for replies. Wonder how it got set to that. :( I just fixed it. Thank You! Hopefully some pics will start showing up. The families will be getting home today and tomorrow, rest up a bit, then probably post pics. :) I hope!

All of this wanting pics, hoping to see them for our performance division, has taught me we need to be sure to share ours for the members of the two groups following us. :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 22, 2012 at 4:56am: I found N4M's while looking at the Navy Reserve page...it was an external link. THEN, my sons wonderful recruiters also gave me a beautiful brochure that had a refirgerator magnet!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 22, 2012 at 4:55am: CB - Once Meagan gets the videos posted on youtube...let me know...I can directly link them into a discussion here...then all you have to do is push play.

Also, I went to the Discussion that you made in 04/20...it is "closed" for replies:

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir04202012/forum/topics/pictures-...

Just checking as I thought I read that you were asking for pics to be posted. I may have misunderstood as I am trying to catch up on the posts!However, if you DO want it open...simply go to the "Options" tab and from the drop down choose "re-open discussion".
