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 PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on May 29, 2012 at 9:42pm: I know I've seen what you can and can not give them as graduation presents that they can take back to RTC. Anybody know where I can find that information?

Comment by diannep on May 29, 2012 at 8:56pm: Congrats, sharon! What a wonderful surprise!

Comment by sharon-(Ship7div183) on May 29, 2012 at 8:34pm: I got a surprise call today from my SR! Sounds good. She said they did not know ahead of time they were getting phone time. Talked for 11 minutes. Excited and nervous about Battle Stations coming up. Toes hurt from the steel toed boots, but eager for PIR.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 29, 2012 at 7:19pm: I agree julliebelle, a million things happened here as well. And now my Sailor has gone back to VA. Miss her already :-(

Comment by sharon-(Ship7div183) on May 29, 2012 at 11:49am: 16 sleeps and a wake up for our SR's! They have to be getting so pumped up by now! I know I am! Seems like forever ago that she left, yet in another way the time has flown. This site has sure made the journey easier, thanks to all the Mom's out there who have been on this roller coaster with me.

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 11:11am: Delbert: That is why we tell you all to stay on this main board too! :-) We N4Moms veterans don't have time to constantly go through the discussion groups to pick up the questions. Glad you checked back here.

The good thing about hell week is that it is training week #4 (approx. bootcamp week #5-6). It is at this time that they finally realize how much they have accomplished, they are in the build up period, and are focused on their BattleStations date and PIR date. You will hear much more "positive" comments from them now. The yelling is not so bad anymore...they are working much better as a team...and things are good!
