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 April 23, 2012 at 7:18am: Good Morning everyone, FTLW I see you were up sprinkling fairy dust in the middle of the night again :-) I swear you do not sleep lol.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 23, 2012 at 4:30am: Discussion Forum Area and how it works.

This is the place to start a Discussion about a topic and for your Division Discussions.

The Discussion Forum area is set to show titles only and is at the maximum of twenty titles at a time.

It is also set to show the "Latest Activity". (Other options are: Newest Discussion, Most Popular, Featured, Group Admin Discussion) So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" that Discussion to the top. If there are over twenty discussions, whatever is at the bottom will disappear. So, if you want to see more click, "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.

When you view a DF the first post ever made will be the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply” directly underneath that particular Discussion.

You will also notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.

Comment by Star (S-11, D-177; PIR 6-15) on April 22, 2012 at 11:38pm: Andi - have you started the 11/177 group? My son is 11/177. He will be 19 in July.

Comment by batmomof3 on April 22, 2012 at 7:10pm: Melody -- my son arrived 4/17 so we are still in week one. It's been very strange as his wait to go to bootcamp was so long and since he's left everything gone so fast, I was expecting "the call" in the middle of the night and it came at 7:40 p.m., only 3 hours after he left O'hare. Then the box arrived 4/20 and we already have the letter! I thought I wouldn't have his address for 10 to 14 days. I'll be mailing the first letters I wrote him tomorrow and he'll only have been gone 6 days! Hope the whole 8 weeks goes quickly. Since the letter came so quickly, I think it's gonna feel like a long time until we get his first real phone call.

Comment by Melody ship 11 / Div 177 on April 22, 2012 at 6:05pm: Batmom- I'm sure you had a great time. I think Indy did a fantastic job hosting the Superbowl. I actually helped to host the John Madden- private party at the BudlIght Hotel downtown.. FUN! My son arrived at GL on 11th.. its only his second week.. ): Did receive box and form letter..so letters, letters and more letters. (:

Comment by batmomof3 on April 22, 2012 at 5:50pm: Melody-- We were at the Brickyard 400 a year ago and at the Superbowl village this year as well! When did your son arrive at GL?

Comment by Melody ship 11 / Div 177 on April 22, 2012 at 5:31pm: Hey batmom.. I also from Indiana.. just 10min away from Indy race track! My son is in div/177 (:

Comment by batmomof3 on April 22, 2012 at 5:17pm: Star -- Yay -- they're coming to Chicago in August -- I've got a 13 year old son who would absolutely love it too!
