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 5, 2012 at 8:45am: Welcome Ty'sMom and any other new members to the group!

Comment by diannep on April 5, 2012 at 8:45am: SUNY: Sesalle is correct...they can purchase stamps at the NEX, but it is nice to send them some too! Some send a self-addressed stamped envelope with each letter, but my son liked writing on the Navy stationery when he was there so didn't want me to do that.

For those who feel their SRs won't take the time to write much, look in the discussions above for the one about questionnaires you can print and send. They enjoy these, they are quick to complete, and you might have better luck hearing from your SRs! Remember, they can't write for the first two weeks of bootcamp and also don't receive mail for the first time until the 2nd Sunday they are up there usually (training the Recruit Mail Petty Officer first). Then they start receiving mail daily (during week) but usually can only write once a week in the beginning...later, they can write more often.

Comment by ItsTheJordan on April 5, 2012 at 2:23am: SUNY and Sesalle, my fiance is in Ship 2 Division 928 too!

Comment by Theresa's Mom *Ship7 Div161* on April 5, 2012 at 12:20am: eileenz.Am just waiting on the form letter, am in calif so maybe thats why its takeing a little longer I'm looking for ward to the form letter for I could no for she her PIR date,:)

Comment by eileenz on April 4, 2012 at 11:08pm: Theresa's Mom, I did get his form letter, but I am doubtful of him writing me very often....so in my letter to him I included a S.A.S.E. and some paper!! :-)

Comment by Theresa's Mom *Ship7 Div161* on April 4, 2012 at 10:31pm: eilleenz did your son also leave on the 3/27/12 if so Aww your lucky you got a letter from him:) already I'm still waiting from on from my Daughte. but I do have her address from her recruiter I sent already 2 letter.

Comment by eileenz on April 4, 2012 at 10:15pm: It is comforting to know other moms are going through the same experiences I am. Just received my son's letter today with his address and Div., and immediately sent off the letter I had been waiting to mail!

Comment by SUNY mom on April 4, 2012 at 10:09pm: Thank you diannep! Thank you too to Kellyc for creating this group!

Sesalle, it's good to know that they're both in the same Div, perhaps we can share news (though I have not received any letter yet, not even the form letter) maybe towards the end of this week? (wishful thinking) Does anyone know if there's a store where an SR can get stamps in RTC? That may be why I'm not getting any letter - oh well, I'll just send her a book when I write to her tomorrow and some band aids!

Comment by Theresa's Mom *Ship7 Div161* on April 4, 2012 at 7:25pm: Thank you for all the info on here it's sure does help to read what my daughter doing,She been there a week already since 3/27/12 and I do miss her soo very much but I no she doing good.:)
