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 diannep on May 26, 2012 at 1:42pm: Twinsmom: They are great about keeping each other awake during BattleStations--TEAMWORK!!!. They know they fail if they fall asleep. Of course in that case, they get to do them again with the next group and pass. But not sure any want to do it twice!

So glad that he saw his brother and that the RDCs made a big deal about it!

Comment by Twinsmom on May 26, 2012 at 12:56pm: Lala, have a wonderful weekend with your family! And thank you for the ribbons! I received them yesterday--beautiful! Can't wait till Friday!

Comment by Twinsmom on May 26, 2012 at 12:54pm: Diannep--hope that worked, but I kept thinking, who makes sure HE stays awake? :) Also, he said he ran into his brother again, and the petty officers wanted to get a side by side comparison, since they are identical! They apparently all had fun with that, and even their shipmates couldn't believe it! I think this was all encouraging for my son who is only on week 3 to see his brother's confidence level, and how he's grown through all this!

Comment by diannep on May 26, 2012 at 9:47am: TwinsMom: Good thing they DIDN'T go to sleep the night of BattleStations since that is an automatic FAIL if they do! :-) Congrats!

Comment by diannep on May 26, 2012 at 9:46am: Penquin; Ahhh....Mountain Dew! Loaded with caffeine so just what your sailor needed to stay awake until lights out at 8 pm last night!

Congrats again to all of the new sailors!

Comment by diannep on May 26, 2012 at 9:44am: Lala: ENJOY! What a special time!

Comment by diannep on May 26, 2012 at 9:44am: They ask for your sailor's name, division number. So, yes, if you are on that sailor's list, you need to have this info!

Good morning all!

Comment by brittney0904 on May 26, 2012 at 8:59am: In order to get into the ceremony do they ask for your sailors name or just your name? My husband called yesterday and said someone gave him their spots at PIR since we live so close and no one was going. He told me the name of the person but now I can't remember so I'm hoping he calls this weekend!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 26, 2012 at 8:07am: Good morning everyone. I am so happy to see all the calls from your new Sailors. I know you are super excited and probably slept a lot better last night :-) Our Sailor is home from her base in VA and we have lots of family members here from Charlotte, SC, and Alabama, Graduation is later this afternoon for my son and step-daughter. We are so proud of them and happy to be spending the weekend with our family.

Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your PIR group. I am so lucky to get to meat so many new friends and keep adding more and more members to my Navy Family. I am very excited for all of you and I know you will have a fabulous time with your new Sailors at PIR :-) Have a great day.

Comment by shell (Ship 11, Div 167) on May 25, 2012 at 10:38pm: We got our call at about noon today, as well. He sounded so happy and proud! He is a Sailor!!! Said they all did really well. So looking forward to the junk food... I am so proud of all the sailors... Congratulations!
