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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on May 1, 2012 at 8:59am: Good Morning, Dianne and all our beautiful ladies!

No, Jenn, I didn't find him. But I don't feel bad because he said he knew he was in there, but he didn't even find himself, lol

Comment by diannep on May 1, 2012 at 8:19am: Good morning, all!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on May 1, 2012 at 6:15am: LOL Too funny Betsy. Did you find him??

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 30, 2012 at 11:50pm: Just to avoid confusion, my son is a sailor stationed on an aircraft carrier and he is not an SR.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 30, 2012 at 11:39pm: Just thought you all might enjoy this "Where's Waldo" picture. This was an Admiral's call on my son's ship today. My son told me that he is in this picture and I shouldn't have any trouble picking him out, since he is wearing digital blues. Gotta love my boy. Lol

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 30, 2012 at 8:59pm: Hi Alison, He seems to be getting better each time he writes. He had his wisdom teeth pulled, but other than that he seems ok.

Comment by lisa80128 on April 30, 2012 at 8:54pm: Hey Alison89, I have heard from my SR. She made the same comments as your friend, I am so glad they are starting to like it now! Time feels like it is really going by fast now, wonder if they feel same ..... Are you going to the graduation?

Comment by lizinnj on April 30, 2012 at 1:01pm: Great Pic LaLa............I could be doing that right now, if I lived closer!!!!!!!!! Hoping these 4 weeks flies!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 30, 2012 at 12:31pm: Lala, love the picture! lol

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2012 at 8:39am: blanesmom: Yes, sometime on holiday weekends, they stay in GL longer...at least, some of them. Depends on the flights they can get to the various A schools. Only your SR will have the info for that division.
