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 Lisette-in-NJ on May 21, 2012 at 3:28pm: Congratulations to all the new Sailors!

Comment by cbc mom on May 21, 2012 at 2:58pm: Congrats to 161!!!!!! Hooyah!

Comment by diannep on May 21, 2012 at 2:27pm: Hoping that 161/162 call in the next hour or so??? We THINK they went through last night, but not sure. Time will tell!

Comment by jenn724 Ship7 Division 161 on May 21, 2012 at 10:19am: I will be on a train in 2 days. Can't wait to see my girl.

Comment by eileenz on May 21, 2012 at 9:44am: Good morning, everyone. It is so cool to see "3 days" on the countdown!!!

Comment by diannep on May 20, 2012 at 8:10am: SHmother: If she passes her PFA, she will be able to do BattleStations all the way through Thurs night before PIR. So glad you are still packed! If she happens to do them Thurs night, she may be in the balcony too tired to march after being up all night but even then, some of them manage to march. Prayers for her!

Comment by diannep on May 20, 2012 at 8:08am: Lala; How neat! Don't know if I told you that my older son works for the NASCAR speedway down here. He loves it. Gets to travel up to Daytona for their races and works those. He works long hours during the season, but really is in "his element." Getting a brand new F-250 company truck to drive (which means no need for a personal truck anymore, and no more gas, mechanical, or insurance payments! YAH!)...was an added incentive!

My nephew did as your son did. He is now a paramedic and works the races as one down here many times. He loves it. I know your son must too!

Good morning everyone!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 19, 2012 at 10:27pm: He has watched from the pits before and been with the ambulance crews a couple times as a first responder volunteer but this is the first time ever to be a part of the actual pit crew. I am sure this is something he will never forget :-) Here is the young man to watch for :-) My handsome son, well one of my handsome sons lol.

Comment by lizinnj on May 19, 2012 at 10:19pm: Is this his first time in the pits? To this day, I can recall in detail standing behind Michael Waltrip's pit. I was awestruck at the speed, heat, vibrations and how flipping fast those boys move. If only our gas stops were that quick!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 19, 2012 at 10:10pm: Thanks so much lizinnj, I am so glad your ribbons arrived and that you love them. I know you will wear them with pride :-)

We all love Concord Mills, That is an all day event when we go there lol.

And it would be easier to spot him if hadn't gotten a hair cut right before he left. The curls I am used to seeing poking out from under his ball cap are no longer there lol. My Sailor is recording it just in case we see him or if we don't maybe he can point himself out to us lol,
