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 Queenann ship 04/Div 152 on April 6, 2012 at 5:17pm: I got a missed call that said 'restricted' and I am wondering if that is the call. I hope not. Anyone knows what comes up on the phone when they call?

Comment by flgirltwo on April 6, 2012 at 4:46pm: No there's no one else to write. I'm just wondering if he's sending them to our Canadian address. Then it would have to be forwarded here. Although I did tell him just to mail all here in Florida because we will be here back and forth and daughters could read to me if necessary. BUT he doesn't ALWAYS pay attention. Lol.

Comment by flgirltwo on April 6, 2012 at 4:20pm: Sigh. No mail today! Maybe tomorrow!

Comment by mom on April 6, 2012 at 4:09pm: flgirltwo, I hope you get something in the mail today!

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2012 at 3:13pm: Travis'mom: Be sure to join the Div 155 discussion above. Stay on this page too for lots of info!

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2012 at 3:11pm: Ditto to what Anna wrote below!

Comment by flgirltwo on April 6, 2012 at 3:10pm: Yeah. That's wonderful. Still waiting for mailman to get here. Hoping for a letter! Fingers crossed!

Comment by mom on April 6, 2012 at 3:03pm: YEAH! I received the form letter today and my son wrote a wonderful letter to the family. He is doing fine and meeting new friends. I am still looking for those who have someone with Ship 11 Division 155.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 6, 2012 at 12:41pm: If you are a praying person please say prayers for those in VA Beach. I just got off the phone with my Sailors and they are both home and fine. Prayers going out to everyone there.
