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 VAMomship4div151 on April 4, 2012 at 6:41am: Funny how moms do things! I have written my son everyday also. We even bought cards and our neighbor was having a birthday party and had all of his friends put a note on the card and sent them. I know it takes awhile to get their mail so I am even wondering if he has received them yet. I saw a form letter on one of the forums you copy and paste and it has your SR to fill out info, like whats your fav thing, who is your friend things like that, but now i can't find it. Have any of you seen this?

Comment by Trevor's mom on April 4, 2012 at 12:38am: I have writtten everyday too. Have even included an Easter card with an IOU as I always give him a bit of cash. I write what I am doing, things his friends are doing and how the ice hockey team he played for is playing. I've included newspaper articles about local happenings. Can't wai dor the phone call.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 3, 2012 at 9:48pm: You will get the area code or type of phone it is bsing made from. For Great Lakes the area code is "847". We have also seen "US GOVERNMENT" and "PAY PHONE" from RTC. I believe there was a report of another local number that could have possibly been a cell phone of a staff member.

Comment by flgirltwo on April 3, 2012 at 9:05pm: Does anyone know what the call display looks like from a calling card? Does it come up unknown?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 3, 2012 at 8:35pm: Just an FYI on your FORM LETTER. Do NOT throw it out and make sure you put it where you will find it. Some have even scanned it into their computer. You will need it for the Confidential Password for the Vehicle Gate Pass if you are driving onto RTC. The Vehicle Pass can also be used for TSC Great Lakes Saturday and Sunday I hear...for those whose Sailors will be schooling there.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 3, 2012 at 8:16pm: This map is from Sarge and the fees shown are the fees for Taxi service from the local Hotels to his M & G at the Sundance Saloon.This is from November so they may have changed.
