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 diannep on April 18, 2012 at 11:17pm: SUNY: The calls are so random, day-wise and time-wise, that it is highly unlikely your call will come at the same time as these did today. Just keep that cell glued to you at all times! Even in the bathroom and when stepping out to get the mail!

Congrats on the calls today!

Comment by SUNY mom on April 18, 2012 at 10:29pm: Thanks, Lisa. I'll make a note of it!

Comment by kdmom on April 18, 2012 at 10:25pm: Ship 12 div 158 ,,Sure Felt Good to here my daughters voice today! :) I just had a feeling this morning that today was the day .Yay!! for the Honors Flag,,

Comment by Trix4theRabbits on April 18, 2012 at 9:53pm: I gave my Mom the head's up that if she gets a call from the 847 area code she must drop everything she's doing and answer it even at work :)

Comment by lisa80128 on April 18, 2012 at 9:50pm: Hi SUNY, I got my call just after 2 pm, MST. I hope you get your call soon!

Comment by SUNY mom on April 18, 2012 at 9:38pm: Ladies, how exciting for you! I am so happy to hear that your SRs called. What time were the calls? Just wanted to know so I will keep my cp beside me at all times esp. around the time you got your calls. Hopefully, fingers crossed, God-willing, Ship 2 Div 928 will also get their calls to home this week! God bless our SRs!

Comment by Trix4theRabbits on April 18, 2012 at 9:29pm: Anyone staying at the Days Inn Great Lakes for PIR? I think I'm going to book us there since it's cheaper and money's a bit tight.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 18, 2012 at 9:18pm: YAY for phone calls :-) Didn't I say a couple days ago that I thought you might get calls this week? HooYah!!!!

Two years ago today my daughter went to MEPS, picked her rate and signed up to join the NAVY. I cannot believe it has really been two years. It is amazing how fast the time passes once bootcamp is over. I can't even begin to tell you how many people I have become friends with and many of them I have been able to meet and have even had some come to my house and stay with me while traveling across the country to see their Sailors. I have made some lifelong friends who share a common bond and I appreciate them all. It is all because of this wonderful site. I wouldn't be where or who I am today if it were not for Navy for Moms :-) I am truly blessed to have found this site <3

Comment by eileenz on April 18, 2012 at 8:55pm: I talked to him today!! I also received a letter first, which made me sad because he sounded down (had his wisdom teeth out and the swelling was quite something...). But on the phone he sounded GOOD!! :-) I am so thankful

Comment by lisa80128 on April 18, 2012 at 8:50pm: I got my call today! We talked for a really long time, this was suprising to me. She told me that her division started out with about 90 recruits and has dropped to 65. She also said they have very little time to write, but would like to receive more cards and letters. She sounded really happy, this made my day!
