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 05/18/2012

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 May 31, 2012 at 7:29am: I am also leaving this group now but if any of you have an problems or questions at all about A-school or anything else I am only a message away. You can reach me by sending a message to me on this site, through my email uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com or through contact us on my website http://www.uniquememorymakers.com/ Many of you also have my cell number so you can also give me a call :-) I hope you and all your Sailors have a plesant A-school journey and get to visit often. There can be some hard times during A-school so continue to be as supportive as you were during boot camp for your Sailor. I wish "Fair winds and following seas" to all of you. Lala

Comment by teeny on May 23, 2012 at 11:05am: I was one of the lucky ones that got to spend all weekend with my SR. It was great but I am sure by Sunday night he was ready to get rid of his groupies and get back to his routine. LOL PIR was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I cried more during that than when I left him. It was truly great....... Believe me I dont think my sailor will sing anchors away ever again!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! We just hung out with him and did whatever he wanted to do. He has truly turned into a man. Different but the same all in one. I didnt want to let go of him when I got to hug him, but he said Mom that is enough. Went shopping and took him out to eat. I took him an hour to eat he just took his time and savored it. He was so used to eating in 10 minutes
