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 diannep on May 2, 2012 at 11:13am: 1ProudMom: Prayers that she can get it done today. She won't have a problem getting through BattleStations. Just remember...if she doesn't do it today, she will stay in FIT until she does pass it. Then she will do BattleStations with whoever is going then and be sent directly to A School with no PIR....but let's think positively that she will get it done today!

Comment by Carrie (ProudNavyMom) on May 2, 2012 at 10:56am: CONGRATULATIONS to all the new sailors and their families!

ProudMom - my prayers are with you and your daughter!

Only 2 days left until we see our sailors. I can't wait :) Have a great day everyone

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on May 2, 2012 at 9:37am: CB, ((Hugs)) to you. My prayers for your family.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 2, 2012 at 9:02am: I know this has been a hard time for you CB and having to tell him over the phone I am sure was very difficult. I am sure you did the right thing by waiting and by telling him now. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Good Morning everyone and congrats to all the new Sailors :-) and to you all as well.

Comment by Bob's mom on May 2, 2012 at 8:57am: CB,

If your son needs a listening ear, tell him to go see the Chaplain. My son got a chance to know him and said he is really cool.

Peace.

Comment by 1ProudMom on May 2, 2012 at 7:58am: CONGRATULATIONS to all the new sailors!

Thank you so much for the prayers for my daughter. She was not able to participate in battle stations with her division due to an injury. She will have one final chance to try her run today (Wednesday). If she's able to pass, she'll do battle stations tonight with one of next week's graduating divisions. I'm just praying so hard she does it today as she sounded very broken when she called on Monday to inform us that she couldn't do BS.

CB - I'm praying for comfort and peace for you and your son. ((HUGS))

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2012 at 7:56am: Congrats to the new sailors from yesterday, and looking forward to hearing about the new sailors as of today with calls coming in this afternoon from 139/140/811!

Comment by Wyobraskamom on May 2, 2012 at 7:56am: Hang in there aj2daway! You'll be talking to your "Sailor" sooner than you think! I'll be praying for all you who are awaiting your call today! See you all at Sarge's meet and greet tomorrow night! I'll be at the Navy Lodge with my door hanger displayed proudly so feel free to look me up! Busy day ahead! We leave for Denver tonight and will stay over for our 0:Dark:30 flight tomorrow morning! Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

Comment by aj2daway on May 2, 2012 at 7:47am: waiting, waiting, prayer, waiting, prayer, waiting,cell phone......

Comment by aj2daway on May 2, 2012 at 7:27am: Thank you CB for sharing with us and know that you made the right decision on waiting. I am sorry that the news was sad in nature but he will let you know that the timing was right. As you said, he has a support system around him and they will comfort/reassure him.
