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 the PIR 06/15/2012 TG 31

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 June 6, 2012 at 12:16pm: Blue candles lit for the start of BattleStations soon! Can't post dates here, but for those who don't know, blue candles being lit are in honor of your SRs/sailors and can be used when they are taking a test, having a hard time, in school, deployed, etc....just an outward sign that you are thinking of your sailors.

Since BattleStations are overnight, some opt to get the electric candles for safety!

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2012 at 8:08am: Good Morning!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 5, 2012 at 11:18am: lol Dianne, it happens to me all the time :-)

Comment by diannep on June 5, 2012 at 10:41am: Oh my gosh, Lala. What the heck is wrong with me today??? Moving too fast, too many interruptions from my mom calling too! :-) Just removed the post...ugh! Thanks for catching it!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 5, 2012 at 8:41am: Diannep, I think that post is for the 6-8 PIR group :-) oops

Comment by diannep on June 5, 2012 at 7:13am: Gates passes are now available for those who have not gotten them yet.

Be sure to use the password from your form letter in ALL CAPS. You can print out as many as you like. I took extras just in case. Remember, if you are taking the PIR shuttle, you don't need this. However, you will need it when you return your sailor to base that night if you plan to drive on base (you can also use it for base access at GL A School, we have been told). So it is a good idea to have it with you.

Comment by diannep on June 5, 2012 at 7:10am: Good morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 4, 2012 at 9:06pm: That is such an honor Lissette and I agree with FTLW. But I will tell you this. the honor guard section is right beside the performing division. That is DIV 931 for this PIR group. So get there early and and pick seats on the end next to the 931 DIV and your 4th person sit in that section right next to you. It will work out just fine :-) And you could even try asking those sitting near you if any of them only have 2 people there. Not sure your 4th person could take their spot but maybe???

Comment by TechiTunes (COsubmom) on June 4, 2012 at 8:04pm: Lissette, what a wonderful accomplishment for your daughter. How proud you must be! Hooyah!
