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 Adrienne(ship 02/div 925) on April 17, 2012 at 2:06pm: it is definatly week 5, i am obviously jumping the gun here. haha!

Comment by Amanda (Ship2 DIV925) on April 17, 2012 at 1:32pm: Lala-Love the questionnaire!!! Thank you!!!. I have already personalized it and printed it.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 17, 2012 at 1:27pm: Thanks Julie, I hope everyone takes the time to read it. It is well worth it I think :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 17, 2012 at 1:08pm: I just added another questionnaire to the discussions above. This one is a little different from many of the others. I made it when my daughter was there and sent it a week or so before battlestations. It has a great paragraph in it about teamwork and battlestations. It is also funny so I am sure they will love it. The important thing is to encourage them and let them know you believe in them and they can do this. So check it out and feel free to copy, paste and print to send it to your recruit. You may have to tweak it a little because my Sailor is a girl :-) You can even print extras for your recruit to share with their friends and then they can send it on to their own families. I hope you all like it :-)
