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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 9, 2012 at 6:43pm: I will be back in a couple of hours to "pretty up" the group and add some info! Gotta go run errands!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 9, 2012 at 6:43pm: Hello!

FireTeamLeaderWife here!

My Sailor PIR’d on 05/26/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I have been an AF Reservist wife for 27 + years…I know …not Navy…but I am familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments…one right after 9/11 and most recently a year ago…our son enlisted while Hubby was in Iraq. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands and my separation for 6 months.

I am a “veteran” mom on the PIR groups mostly. I have been on them now for the last 10 months and we have 5-7 PIR groups running at the same time.

I will check in here to see if I can answer any questions and lend support. There will be a few other veteran moms along to lend a hand and support you all through your PIR experience. Others drop in occasionally too…plus we are always looking for more to “join the ranks”. Things change in the military and we like to give out the most current info that we can so moms that have just gone through this help a lot.

I have a lot of Discussions with information to provide you along the way. I will post as the subjects come up! Please ask any and all questions…there are NO dumb ones Folks!

Welcome! Hang on for the ride!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 9, 2012 at 6:42pm: Thank you Queenjailyle for starting the group!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 9, 2012 at 6:41pm: cathie679 - Yes this is your PIR group!

Comment by cathie379 on April 9, 2012 at 6:37pm: He left his cell phone at home so i was ok .This is the group I should be in right?

Comment by Queenjailyle on April 9, 2012 at 6:31pm: Welcome cathie379! It wasn't the clothes that got me but the cell phone.

Comment by cathie379 on April 9, 2012 at 6:26pm: I received my letter Saturday, and my box today. I cried when I opened his box with the clothes,also happy that I can start sending mail,my son is in Ship 09 Div 165 Thanks to everyone.

Comment by candy (ship 07/div 163) on April 9, 2012 at 5:36pm: lol. I know exactly how you feel, but my youngest knows I'm nuts (at least that's what he tells me) lol. I was so excited to get the letter. To have an actual date to look forward to makes it so much better.

Comment by Recruit Man - Ronny on April 9, 2012 at 5:36pm: Hi All....Just wanted you all to know about Calls for Recruits.org. They give away FREE Pre-Paid Calling Cards for Recruits at Boot Camp. Make sure you go there and request some FREE phone cards....

My son has PIR on Friday...I'm so excited...I hope it goes well for all of your future Sailors and if you ever need any advice, support, or anything, just email me or go to my site, calls for recruits.org and ask away. Hope you all have a great day and wish your SR's the best of Luck!!!

Comment by Queenjailyle on April 9, 2012 at 5:34pm: Hey candyp88. I can't wait until PIR. It was so weird getting both box and letter in the same day. Went from getting ready to cry to dancing around the house. Pretty sure my kids think I'm crazy, if they didn't already.
