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 19, 2012 at 9:07pm: We are having a pretty exciting evening in our house :-D My 18 yr old son has been training for several weeks with the fire department on how to put out fires in cars or in car crashes. Tonight he is working as a volunteer for the Pit Crew for Denny Hamlin in tonight's all star race. So whenever Denny Hamlin comes into pit road we will likely see him. And in case there is a fire he is ready. He is super excited as you can imagine. What a fun and exciting adventure for our future Sailor :-)
