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 batmomof3 on April 21, 2012 at 8:55pm: Hi to PIR 6/15/12. I'm Trish and my SR is in Ship 12/Div 182. Can't wait to meet those of you whose SR shares the same ship or their training partner Div 181. Please introduce yourself and friend me, it'll be nice to get to know others whose loved ones are with mine. I've started a discussion above as well. Only 54 more days!

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 21, 2012 at 7:38pm: Andi, feel free to start one in the discussions!

Comment by diannep on April 21, 2012 at 7:10pm: Another N4Moms veteran joining to help! I am out of town right now, but will be back on here more regularly after tomorrow. Thanks for starting the group, Paula!

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 20, 2012 at 11:27pm: Tammy, what's the deal with your BF?

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 20, 2012 at 10:08pm: Robin, do you know what division your son is in yet? We called the recruiter, but letter should be here any day.

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 20, 2012 at 9:50pm: Star, I've been looking at hotels and because I'm traveling with my SR's wife and my dad (ex-Navy), we are looking a suites or inns. There is a Residence Inn and a Homewood Suites. Still trying to decide about taking a shuttle or cab or car to PIR, but my dad is disabled and doesn't need to walk far. After reading the boot camp forum, I just hope my son doesn't get sent home for anything medical. He doesn't have anything wrong with him, but from the sounds of it, they find stuff they didn't even know they had! I'll feel so much better when I get my first letter in about 3 weeks. Looks like our boys are in brother divisions.

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 20, 2012 at 9:16pm: Jessica, I believe this TG starts with division 177. But from a few other post, 176 was graduating 6/8 and 177 6/15. Not sure how many divisions though.

Comment by Star (S-11, D-177; PIR 6-15) on April 20, 2012 at 8:55pm: Jessica, I am a 6-15 and Div 177. Paula, awesome video you found! I LOVED IT! And looks like we will meet in person!! yay!!!

Comment by RobinLaj Corpsman Mom on April 20, 2012 at 10:20am: Paula, thanks so much for the Forum!! Hopefully we will find out today if 6/15 is in fact our PIR. I love it that we can see the weather even!!

THanks again and let's keep in touch!
