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 18, 2012 at 9:24pm: I second that Lala! So fortunate to have N4M!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 18, 2012 at 9:22pm: Two years ago today my daughter went to MEPS, picked her rate and signed up to join the NAVY. I cannot believe it has really been two years. It is amazing how fast the time passes once bootcamp is over. I can't even begin to tell you how many people I have become friends with and many of them I have been able to meet and have even had some come to my house and stay with me while traveling across the country to see their Sailors. I have made some lifelong friends who share a common bond and I appreciate them all. It is all because of this wonderful site. I wouldn't be where or who I am today if it were not for Navy for Moms :-) I am truly blessed to have found this site <3

Comment by diannep on April 18, 2012 at 6:10pm: IslandMom: juliebelle is correct. I will be keeping track of dates as you all report them to me by friend request/private message. Then will Message them out to everyone.

The I'm a Sailor calls come on the day they finish BattleStations (it is an overnight drill). They come in the afternoon.
