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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 26, 2012 at 9:42pm: Dear PIR groups,

Sorry I have been MIA…Hubby has been sick (bronchitis…he had it bad) and then we were getting new appliances…bookshelves (I am a bookaholic ) so LOTS of Chores!

I have some PM’s to get too…sorry for the delay…Hubby took the other “men” (our three sons” to a Guy night with Church buds so the testosterone levels have dropped and I can think now! LOL Hugs to everyone!

Comment by eileenz on May 26, 2012 at 8:27pm: PIR was incredible....and I cherished every second with my son. The hardest part was handling all of the emotions while being so very sleep-deprived!! Everyone looked amazing....so proud of them all.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 25, 2012 at 1:37pm: Have a blessed rest of the day/weekend on Liberty with your Sailors!

Comment by cbc mom on May 24, 2012 at 3:51pm: I 2nd that Kellyc. Highly recommend his services. And if not using his services, give him a call and ask any questions of him. He will give lots of good information and guidance.

Comment by kellyc on May 24, 2012 at 3:01pm: At theNavy lodge Sarge picked us up at the airport.... I highly recommend his services, he is soooo nice and knowlledgeable going to his meet n greet tonight can't wait

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 1:39pm: Me either, juliebelle.

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 1:29pm: Just heard a report on tv that the Navy has reduced 60,000 sailors in the past decade with more ordered reductions in the future. So very sad...this was a report on the ship building in NewPort News (where my son was...his ship was in dry dock). They are making the ships more automated now requiring less "manpower." Seems to be the way of the world, doesn't it?

So hug that sailor tightly and thank God that he/she is a sailor!
