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 Melody ship 11 / Div 177 on April 28, 2012 at 6:27pm: Have a Safe night ALL!! Lots of Activities going on here in Indianapolis, IN.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 28, 2012 at 6:03pm: Hope all are having a good Saturday.

Comment by diannep on April 28, 2012 at 10:05am: Have a great weekend, everyone!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 28, 2012 at 4:38am: Just a gentle reminder for the newer PIR groups and for any new members (Welcome!)

If your last name is in your username and it is the same as your recruits you will need to change your username. Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on the N4M's site.

If it is not the same it is still a good idea to change it as this is a public forum and anyone can read the site...they do not have to be a member.

Here is how to change your username:

To change your username on here.

Just go to "Settings" which is in the list in the far right hand column of this page...under where you sign out of N4M's.

Your profile page will open.

Under "Profile" Username is the third item down.

Clear the info and type in your new username.

Once you do that make sure to click "save" at the bottom right of the page.

If you need any help ...let me know. TY!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 27, 2012 at 11:37pm: I will be away most of the day tomorrow, It is Senior Prom for our kids and we will be busy with that most of the day. I hope everyone has a great Saturday I will be back on here Saturday night :-)

Comment by Delbert59 Ship 02 Div 931 on April 27, 2012 at 11:24pm: Thanks @diannep. i figure she wrote this at about 10 days in she is 25 so it's not her first time away from home but the lack of contact for us both makes things seem worse.

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2012 at 8:55pm: Welcome, Delbert! So sorry about the sad little note, but as bootcamp goes along, things will get better...it is an emotional rollercoaster for all of them...and the ladies here too! Training week #4 (bootcamp week #5 or 6 depending on when they arrived) usually is when they start feeling more positive about things...they are yelled at in the beginning for everything....makes them wonder if they can do anything right....but it does get better after that! Hang in there!

Comment by Delbert59 Ship 02 Div 931 on April 27, 2012 at 8:35pm: It's official I can be "ïn" this group. Got my form letter with a sad little note :(

My SR is graduating 6/15 she is in Ship 02 Div 931

Comment by batmomof3 on April 27, 2012 at 10:40am: diannep - thanks for the good info on the NEX!!

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2012 at 8:16am: batmom: If you are staying at Navy Lodge, you get a pass for one of the smaller NEXs--your sailor doesn't have to be with you. Otherwise, you have to wait for your SR to be with you to visit the other NEXs. There is a larger one off base closeby (Greenbay Rd) that won't be as crowded as the RTC one will be so if you don't need to go in there to pay for pictures, might be better to visit that one with your new sailor.

Good morning all!
