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 PIR 06/22/2012

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 JMT1366 (Ship 3 - Div 188) on May 2, 2012 at 8:42pm: Mom2five....well I'm guilty as well...I write to him everyday. Is that bad? I thought he would enjoy getting letters on a daily basis....I don't want him getting branded either....ugh......that makes me sad. :(

Comment by mom2five on May 2, 2012 at 8:16pm: Evening ladies! I have a dilemma. I have been writing my SR son daily. Last night I made the comment at dinner that I realized how lame my life was when I started chronicling my day everyday. I was only joking, but my other sons were horrified. They said that I was branding my son as a momma's boy, and marking him for a problem. Now I don't know what to do! Any advice? I didn't send one today :-(

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 2, 2012 at 7:27pm: Hello ladies sorry I havent been on today.. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and my son had one today. Counting down the days ladies!!! Only 49 days and depending on when you are leaving it could possibly be sooner. Also we have a few more days till we could possibly get our phone calls soon....

Comment by Mom2TJ on May 2, 2012 at 12:47pm: Woot woo! just booked my room at Navy Lodge (practically the only room left in town)... Road Trip!! 1700+ miles to Great Lakes, but it will be fun! Cannot wait for 6/22! 51 days and counting!

Comment by Skyla (SHIP 07 DIV 191) on May 2, 2012 at 10:00am: Ooops. I meant to say I wish I was more patient!!!

Comment by Skyla (SHIP 07 DIV 191) on May 2, 2012 at 9:59am: I am crossing my fingers for a form letter today! I got his address from the recruiter yesterday but the PIR date is just an estimate from the recruiter and our calculations. I with a was more patient!

The countdown clock for the phones is a good idea. I have an iPhone 4s so I'm sure there's a way to get one on there I just haven't figured it out yet! haha

Happy Wednesday, ladies! :)

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 2, 2012 at 9:07am: I want to thank FTLW for the above links - I copied and sent the Proper Public Behavior with your new Sailor to my son's girlfriend who is accompanying us to PIR. She has always shown the best deportment with him, but who knew there were so many rules? I appreciate all the advice and support!

Julie - I love the countdown clock - I check it all the time! It makes me smile to see it go lower and lower!

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2012 at 8:12am: Ladies, we ask that you not start division GROUPS on N4Moms. Many do this on FB, which is fine. We would rather you start a discussion group above for your division. Remember, before starting one, please check to make sure someone else hasn't started it. There should only be one discussion group per division.

Tabatha: If you don't mind deleting your Div 189 group and joining the 189 discussion above that was started by Luke's Mom. That frees up space on the N4Moms site for other groups to start. You all will need to stay on this main page too...becase we N4Moms veterans will be posting lots of good info here and answering questions. We do not have time to go through the discussion groups alot since we are each on about 6-7 PIR groups at a time. But we do monitor this main page.

Good morning all!

Comment by Tabatha (Ship 3 Div 189) on May 1, 2012 at 10:43pm: If you have a kid on Ship 3 Division 189 please join...

We can discuss how we are feeling what we are going through and lean on each other for support.
