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 05/25/2012

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 jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on May 28, 2012 at 6:55pm: She texted me and told me to just use her name, no title.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 28, 2012 at 5:29pm: jenn724 - What is her rate and rating?

Yikes on her uniforms!

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 4:23pm: jenn, thinking HM? FTLW? Do you know for sure? I know that when my son graduated bootcamp, he told me to address his letters at A School as SN=Seaman, He was an E-3. I believe E-2 for his "rate" was SA.

I would ask on the San Antonio group. Those ladies will know for sure!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on May 28, 2012 at 11:16am: It looks like it got caught in the conveyor. The bag was shredded, as well as her dress blues, her NSU, and everything else. Torn, and grease all over everything.. She is lucky enough to have a great friend that is letting her wear her spare set until she can get new stuff. She sent me her new address, but I'm not sure how I should address it now. Not SR anymore.. :)

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 11:06am: jenn: So very sorry about her garment bag with the uniforms. What happened to it to ruin the uniforms?

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 11:06am: Ladies: We N4Moms veterans like to make sure our advice is still up to date. So please post on here if we gave incorrect info for PIR, etc. We want to make sure to guide the right way!

Plus...ALL of you are not N4Moms veterans...so please feel free to jump on the PIR groups whenever you like to help out the newbies! We welcome all help!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on May 28, 2012 at 10:55am: Congratulations to all of our new Sailors, and their families. PIR was an awesome experience. I slept a total of 6 hours in 3 days, so the emotions combined with the sleep deprivation was tough, but worth it. My daughter made it safely to San Antonio, but her garment bag did not. All of her uniforms inside were completely ruined. I should find a San Antonio A school group to join I suppose. xo

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 8:27am: HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! Remembering all of our servicemen/women....past and present...active duty, veterans, injured/disabled, those who gave their lives for their country. We will never forget!

Comment by ellen0502 on May 28, 2012 at 5:52am: FTLW looks like you have had a hectic time of it.

I do have to say LOL as I first read it as you have had some PMS not PM's to get to.

Comment by ellen0502 on May 28, 2012 at 5:49am: I am sure you all have had a great weekend with your SAILORS this Memorial Day weekend. Can't wait to hear stories!! :)

Now you will know what's going on with them directly!!!!
