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 Jaime A-Corpsman St. MOM on May 19, 2012 at 8:10pm: Hi to all, Oh gosh guys, my son said, "first three days, no sleep, something happened, and it became four! " His first letter to Grandma, "I just want to fall asleep everywhere I am!" Def not a record anyone wants to break.lol. ....Lars, did you find things to do yet? Have you joined the group on FB yet? I'm sure there will be a ton more advice, support, and info too! Meeting the night before at Sarges Meet and Greet. He may be able to suggest plenty around if you explain your situation. he even has a taxi service. Have heard wonderful things about him al over this site!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 19, 2012 at 7:18am: Wow Star, that is crazy. I don't think that is a record anyone would want to break lol.

Good Morning everyone and Happy Saturday. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I had to take my Mom to the Doc and then we went shopping. I needed supplies and she just needed to get out of the house :-) We finally have a new Joann Fabric Store in Asheville :-) Loving that we have a new place but man fabric just gets more and more expensive!!! But I did find fusible vinyl. You can iron it to any fabric and make it waterproof. How cool is that? Now I just have to figure out what to use it on lol. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :-)

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2012 at 1:28pm: Poor guy, Star. Wow!

Comment by Star (S-11, D-177; PIR 6-15) on May 18, 2012 at 10:45am: FTLW - my smartphone is always dumb when it comes to this site. That is why its so hard to navigate and much easier on facebook - but we on facebook - ALWAYS come back here when we can! No place like home!

Comment by Star (S-11, D-177; PIR 6-15) on May 18, 2012 at 10:44am: Dianne - YES MA"AM! '66 to be exact' was his exact words. He was waken from the hotel on MEPS day at 4am, I think he said............and 66 hours later - laid his head to rest!

Record? LOL I might have to have a medal made for him. A N4M challenge coin! hee hee. I might just do that!

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2012 at 8:02am: Wait --Star....he was up for 66 hours? That is almost 3 days! Why was he up so long? The longest we have heard of them being up is about 40+ hours, so he holds the record!

Good morning all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 17, 2012 at 9:58pm: Well...except...the first thing they do...male or female...is get new undies! But everything else...yes!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 17, 2012 at 9:57pm: All clothing including swimming and working out must be Navy issue. ;)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 17, 2012 at 9:55pm: CAKESYES! My "smart"phone and this site are NOT getting along and it IGNORED your friend request when I clearly wanted to accept it! Double UGH!
I am so sorry...haven't been able to get to a real computer all day.
Would you resend it please? It also won't let me send a friend request to you! {{Grrr}}

Comment by sharon-(Ship7div183) on May 17, 2012 at 9:34pm: If they need to stay in uniform for liberty after PIR, does that include swimsuits? We have a pool at our Motel and I know she will want to swim and chill. Just don't know if I should bring one from home or if she needs to wear Navy issue.
