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 April 26, 2012 at 1:33pm: I booked a hotel.. The days are going by so fast..

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 26, 2012 at 7:58am: dang you are a busy woman, sounds like you need to pull a few trax out of the bag lol.

I am afraid some of the members of this group may have planned an escape and could be breaching the wall at RTC to get a glimpse of their recruits. They have been pretty much MIA for a couple days so that must be it. jenn and Trix must be the decoys so we would not get suspicious. hahahehe lol

Comment by Trix4theRabbits on April 25, 2012 at 8:43pm: I'm here, work has been insane lately with Mother's Day coming up, plus I'm training to run a 10K right before PIR and I'm planning a wedding!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on April 25, 2012 at 6:49pm: I'm here, just running around today playing mom to my two boys.. The weather is beautiful here today, trying to enjoy it.
