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 Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 28, 2012 at 3:32pm: He starts week 5-1 on friday.

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 28, 2012 at 3:30pm: Oh Julie.....I've been gone all weekend.....soooo happy you got the call!!!!! Was your hubby on week 3 last week? Just wondering for my son....he will be 4/1 tomorrow and I know he was looking forward to firearms. He loves to hunt so was hoping to shine in shotguns!!!

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 11:14am: Julie: I totally agree with Lala...take whatever you think he MAY want/need with you...being on GL A School base, he will be able to return with what he is allowed to have. May have to "lock it up" for a while, but can have some things there. Whatever he doesn't want/need, you just bring back home!

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 28, 2012 at 10:54am: I am just in case. I am also buying a tablet so we both have a computer.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2012 at 10:52am: Julie I would take it with you. He will find out when he checks in at his new base if he can have it or not and when. If he checks in across the street from RTC to A-school base then you will likely be able to give it to him at some point during the weekend.

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 28, 2012 at 10:44am: His a school is in great lakes. His rate is DC. Damage controlsman

Comment by eversteamco on May 28, 2012 at 10:41am: They can't take anything with them onto base, even after graduation. Where is his A school? You can meet them at the airport and give them a small bag (black only) and phone/laptop. We just sent a box to him (other son) once we were home, will try and get phone/ laptop to this son if it works out. They leave for the airport on a bus @ 1 AM and so it's difficult to be there, and takes some planning.

Glad that you finally got a call, what is your SR's rate? He's in my sons brother div....

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 28, 2012 at 8:47am: Thank you... Yes I cant wait till hes in a school... I dont think Ill be able to come home after I see him. Id love to be able to just have him near me. He said I camt bring him the laptop and give it to him on sunday or monday before I leave. Does anyof the vetran moms know anything about that?

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2012 at 8:38am: Yah, Julie! So happy you finally got that call! Just remember...once in A School, you will at least be talking regularly to him. That makes a huge difference, even though seeing him is the best. This is preparing you for deployments and little communication, so you actually are in "training" yourself!

Happy Memorial Day to all! We remember all of our military men/women today, both past and present, and may God Bless each of them!

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 28, 2012 at 8:14am: Good morning ladies.. Happy memorial day.. Hope yall have a nice relaxing day. We are another week closer to PIR yay!!! We are getting there!!!
