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 dttbram ship3/division139 on May 2, 2012 at 4:26pm: way to go div 139!!! my son's wife just received the "I'm a sailor" phone call!!

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on May 2, 2012 at 3:47pm: 1Proudmom, I'm so sorry to hear this, but I have faith that it will all turn out great, and she will soon be a Sailor. Please keep us up to date, I want my blue candle burning for her when she does her Battle Stations. The FIT program really is an awesome program. I'm confident, she's got this! :)

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2012 at 2:58pm: Praying, 1ProudMom: So glad you are on the FIT group because those ladies know what you are going through and will encourage you. You will get that I'm a Sailor call eventually, and it will feel that much sweeter when it comes! Kudos to your daughter for continuing to work through her injury to become a sailor...she'll get there!

Comment by 1ProudMom on May 2, 2012 at 12:54pm: I couldn't wait....I called the PAO office. She did not pass today. :( At least now I don't have to sit wondering for the rest of the day! No Chicago trip for us this weekend.

Blessings to each one of you as you spend time with your sailors this weekend and safe travel to each of you! Enjoy!

Comment by Crazy Blonde (Ship 2, Div-925) on May 2, 2012 at 12:48pm: Thank You everyone for your comforting thoughts. I trust he will be fine, with all the new friends he has that will be there for him.

1Proudmom, Hoping for a speedy full recovery for your daughter. Please keep us posted on her progress so we can cheer her on. I have my blue candle lit brightly!

Can't wait till we have some more Sailors! Will be watching for the posts on Phone Calls. C'mon phones...RING RING RING!!! HooYah! TG-25 Rocks!

Comment by 1ProudMom on May 2, 2012 at 12:35pm: Thanks girls!

aj2daway - I definitely will let you know. I'm just praying and willing my phone to ring. She said if she passes, she will be able to call and let us know. I contacted the PAO office earlier in the week to inquire as to her status (since I hadn't heard anything) and they also said I could call and ask again later today.

You all have been a wonderful lifeline for me and I can't ever thank you enough!!
