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 brittney0904 on June 14, 2012 at 7:48am: My husband came back home to move me out to SC last week so I havent been on here for awhile! But I just wanted to let some of you Nuke moms know how awesome your sons are! 9 out of the 12 people that came with my husband here helped us unload our truck when they could have been out doing things on liberty! Needless to say we will be having a big cookout for everyone who helped this weekend!

Comment by cindyship11div168 on June 13, 2012 at 4:59am: Janet(dereksmom21), sorry feel weird not calling you by your name chick! Thinking I have actually gone 2 days without talking to "D". He has his room to himself now, other 2 guys went somewhere else. His liberty wasn't what he wanted over the weekend because of all the rain but he and Katlin are planning their first together since PIR. They are doing alot of skyping. Please tell me if you had trouble with your pendant, Katlin's had to be replaced :( Working on more for other military friends Mothers. Need to do my own with "D" official pic. Hugs! Cindy

Comment by ellen0502 on June 13, 2012 at 1:49am: Cathy379, my son is at A School in GL (PIR 4/20) for ET. Is your son on hold for A School or ATT. I am not sure if OS take ATT or not (I assume they might be). ATT is a basic electronic course that is given before they actually start A School and teach everyone that a thing-a-ma-jig is a thing-a-ma-jig not a watch-ma-call-it. It puts those that use it and those that fix/install it on the same page.

There can be a wait for school to start and before my son started ATT the motto was "Join the Navy. Turning out 300+ janitors a week." :)

Comment by dereksmom21 Norfolk CTT on June 12, 2012 at 8:32pm: Hi cindyship11 div 168-- Glad to hear that your "D" is an E3 now also. My "D" started bootcamp as an E3 so that is awesome that your "D" is an E3 now as well.Had to ship his xbox and civilian clothes so they will be there ready for him when he phases up in a week. It is great that our kids will be going through this next journey together.

Keep in Touch--Janet

Comment by dereksmom21 Norfolk CTT on June 12, 2012 at 8:16pm: txbabydocmom- That is such awesome news that your son is finally about to start back on his training. Wish things would have been different and he could have graduated with us on the 1st but please keep us posted on his acheivements. We are proud of him to keep fighting for the appeal to be approved.

Comment by onatalie64 on June 12, 2012 at 2:38am: Thank you, momofanuke:)

Comment by momofanuke on June 12, 2012 at 12:34am: onatalie64...my son is in SC also, he is an ET. I and several other moms on here have joined "Nuke Moms"...I think you will find that there is a LOT less activity on the A-school groups than you were used to with the boot camp group. That is mostly because we can talk to our sailors often and we can have them answer questions for us rather than only talking amoungst ourselves. I know that there are a lot of great folks on the nuke mom site and they are ready and willing to answer questions and to help with suggestions on places to stay if you are visiting the area. I look forward to seeing you on that group, feel free to friend me if you would like.
