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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 22, 2012 at 7:56am: Please read this Discussion BEFORE you make your reservations for PIR. It has my personal story in it as well as the information that RTC puts out on Sailors Departure and Liberty.

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir-06-08-2012/forum/topics/after-...

Hotels can be booked asap as almost all can be adjusted with no penalties up til very close to PIR...usually 24 hours notice.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 22, 2012 at 7:54am: Y'all...make sure you keep your Form letter in a safe place...some even scan it into their computer. It has all of your pertinent info in it as well as the confidential password for the Vehicle Gate Pass for entrance to RTC. This is only needed if you plan on driving a vehicle onto RTC.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 22, 2012 at 7:53am: Star - Thank you so much for sharing those pics! Love it!

Hmmm...wasn't too crazy about the "newer" Type II uniforms...until those young gentlemen standing behind you (?) "modeled" them! LOL

Comment by Melody ship 11 / Div 177 on April 22, 2012 at 7:16am: WOW!! Those pics are awesome!! So much for our SR's to look forward to!! (:

Comment by Star (S-11, D-177; PIR 6-15) on April 21, 2012 at 10:54pm: Went to Navy Week in New Orleans today! Was awesome! And in a strange way, I felt closer to my son! :-) Talked to many sailors who all crenged and laughed when I told them this was my son's second week at Greal Lakes (1 in bootcamp). They said its grueling but worth it. The older ones said, its changed alot since they were there (lot more laws; things they can't do) and that the goal is to test our recruits to see how they react under pressure. That is why there is so many questions.

It was an awesome day to see the carriers, sails, tanks, helicopters, etc, that he will one day be sitting in and machine guns, mortars, and missile launchers that he will one day be handling ! Gonna see if I can get some pictures posted... mmm, not sure!

A shout out to all my GL sisters here! We are all so proud!

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 21, 2012 at 10:35pm: It looks like Divisions 171 to at least 182 or 183 plus a 900 division will PIR on this date. Just got our form letter today. I didn't even recognize my son's handwriting. He's always printed ok, but this was perfect!!!!

Comment by batmomof3 on April 21, 2012 at 10:01pm: yahoolady51 my son left on 4/17 and we got his letter today!! much quicker than anticipated. his PIR is 6/15/12, hopefully your's will be too!

Comment by yahoolady51 on April 21, 2012 at 9:57pm: Hi everyone. My name is Sherry and my daughter left for BC on April 17th. I do not know the ship or Div as of yet, so I am truly hoping I am in the correct PIR Group.
