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 06/01/2012

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 Sailors/Recruits 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 candy (ship 07/div 163) on June 3, 2012 at 8:51am: What an amazing weekend. Got to spend Friday with him and Sat at the airport with him. His flight left at 8:30am, but we met him there at 2am. The ceremony was fantastic and we stayed at the Navy Lodge and that was amazing. It was so close to the base and very nice. Sarge's meet and great was great and gave a lot of good information. Over all a weekend I will never forget.

Comment by cindyship11div168 on June 3, 2012 at 12:12am: Waiting now to head to Midway to wait with our Sailor. He is also headed to Pensacola and he will have a 12 hour wait.

Comment by DramaSoul on June 3, 2012 at 12:11am: We spent 12 hours at O'Hare with my Sailor before he left for SA. I can tell you ALL ABOUT Terminal 3 at O'Hare! You can get a pass at the ticket desk. Just be sure your Sailor meets you there. They are very understanding about Navy families and we even got to go through the VIP TSA line.

Comment by cindyship11div168 on June 3, 2012 at 12:09am: Onatalie64... not sure who told you that you couldn't meet them there..... that's where we are headed to shortly... we were told YES and that's where you can give them the phones, laptops. You will have to check in thru security. My son will be there almost 12 hours waiting for his flight and we are waiting with him for most of that time.

Comment by onatalie64 on June 2, 2012 at 10:09pm: How do we meet with our sailors at the airport to give them cell phone. Somebody said I couldnt.

Comment by diannep on June 2, 2012 at 8:47pm: He will most likely call you from the airport....he can borrow a cell once there. So be sure you have your cell phone on during the night, just in case.

Comment by diannep on June 2, 2012 at 8:46pm: Nrainygirl: It could be either a.m. or p.m. But if the ticket says p.m., that's what it is! That means he has a long time in the airport. But you will be there with him, right? So you will get some extra time together! Hoping that your flight out of Ohare isn't until late afternoon or evening!

Comment by ellen0502 on June 2, 2012 at 7:11pm: Someone in this TG is now one of my sons roommates in GL. :)

Comment by Shawn's mom2 ship07 DIV170 on June 2, 2012 at 5:26pm: Sitting at o'hare waiting, still 6hrs before our flight home to socal. Thank you all for the love and support these past 9 weeks. It sure was quite the ride!! Graduation was perfect!! Shawn was right up front where we could see him. We spent an easy day at gurnee hills eating pizza and seeing Avengers (he and his dad are Marvel geeks so this was special) . Navy Lodge and Sarge's were wonderful. I would only change one thing, I would book my Friday night closer to the airport. We were able to meet up with Shawn this morning at 1AM even took him out to breakfast! He flew out at. 7 so we have been "homeless" all day and we are so tired.. we didn't want to drive back to GL just toturn around again. Needless to say we will be sleeping in tomorrow :)

Comment by diannep on June 2, 2012 at 9:21am: Enjoy your weekend time with your sailors! Please don't forget to post on here about your experiences. Also, please post any "corrected" info that we N4Moms veterans may have gotten wrong...changes do happen! We want to make sure that we are passing along accurate info to the new groups.

And remember...each of you is now a N4Moms veteran! HOOYAH! We welcome you to join our "team" and jump on the PIR groups to share info and advice. Any time!
