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 07/03/2014! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.
~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

debmil24,
Just in case you are not sure, here's a scripture for the SRs and the PFA:
Here's a scripture that would be good for your SR for his PFA:
"He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and the young stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:29-31

My prayers are with all our recruits. A parent on face book said they got a letter and SR said it was tonight. He had to change the post after making it because of OPSEC.

2boysandamom: Are you sure some divisions are doing BattleStations tonight? Although this is normally the night that some divisions start, I have been told by one mom that they will start on Monday night in this PIR group. Hope you are right though! I sent you a friend request since we can't post the actual divisions going through on this page....only private message.

deb: If he doesn't pass by his division's BattleStations day, he is supposed to call you and let you know. He should get another chance to pass before PIR...but it can be hard for families trying to get up there, not knowing if they should go or not. Prayers that he gets it done on pure adrenaline!

Ok mom's, wives, girlfriends, and whoever else who has a SR in this group- let's light a candle- any candle will do in honor of our SR and their final challenge this evening. Sending positive thoughts for all to pass- who's with me?

Got a letter today. My SR is afraid he wont pass the run. He has been having trouble making it in the allotted time. They did it this pass Tuesday. If he did not pass would I have already gotten a phone call saying he didn't pass? He sounded so scared

mornin'!I have not introduced myself, so here goes (I know big high point of y'alls day!)
FireTeamLeaderWife here!
My Sailor PIR’d on 05/26/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I am now a Retired AF Reservist wife (30 years)…I know …not Navy…but I am familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments…one right after 9/11 and one in 2011.
Our son enlisted while Hubby was in Iraq. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands and my separation for 6 months.
I am a “veteran” mom on the PIR groups mostly. I have been on them now since 2011 and we have 7-8 PIR groups running at the same time.
I've been out of the loop for about six months or so...but hope to be able to pop in and lend support any way I can.
Blessings to you all!

Cathy Jo - Your Recruit has most likely already turned in the official Access List to Security. This is done about 7-10 days before PIR. Once it is turned in...changes cannot be made to it. So yes, it is too late to add to that list.
I haven't been on regularly in a while...so I am not sure about this (by that I mean don't take it as a "yes"), but I have been catching a few posts about possibility's of getting someone into PIR who was not on the list? Veteran Moms, your thoughts.
NOTE: The official statements put out by RTC on their Page and FB is a "No" though. No standby's, no waiting area, all guests NOT on the List must wait off base.
BUT, I hope it works out for you!!!
