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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2012 at 10:54am: Delbert, they call it that because that is pretty much the busiest week at bootcamp. they have lots of tests and inspections and have to get up earlier.

Comment by Delbert59 Ship 02 Div 931 on May 28, 2012 at 10:40am: I asked this in my division discussion but I thought there might be more who know the answer and even more who may be curious out here:

Why do they call Week 4 hell week?

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 8:35am: So glad you got to SKYPE with your sailor/Marine, juliebelle! HOOYAH!

Happy Memorial Day all! We remember all of our military men/women, past and present, and thank God for them!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 27, 2012 at 9:10am: I am sorry I have been away a lot for the last couple of days. Graduation was awesome and we had a wonderful party afterwards. Today we are all going for a drive across the Blue Ridge Parkway and going into Cherokee for a little shopping and a picnic. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 26, 2012 at 9:41pm: Dear PIR groups,

Sorry I have been MIA…Hubby has been sick (bronchitis…he had it bad) and then we were getting new appliances…bookshelves (I am a bookaholic ) so LOTS of Chores!

I have some PM’s to get too…sorry for the delay…Hubby took the other “men” (our three sons” to a Guy night with Church buds so the testosterone levels have dropped and I can think now! LOL Hugs to everyone!
