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"

Just got a surprise phone call! Loving these weekly phone calls. Things are good- they are still trying to figure things out and sounds like division is still struggling a little. Either got formal uniforms or measured for uniforms- not sure which he said. My day is complete!!

diannep - yes, I do remember my Marine's boot (13 weeks!), but I just thought I would do better this time. I also realize this is my 2nd and youngest. But, Today is better! Red shirt Fridays always make me feel a bit more motivated to hang in there!!

Hang in there, therevbev! Making it through the emotions of Bootcamp is hard enough without the complications of moving too! It will get better, I promise! The first part of Bootcamp is very rough on the SRs and the families, but good times are coming! :-)

Sarge's MeetandGreet info:

Good idea, 2boysandamom. We did that...would do it again. It is only $3/pp each way to PIR, whether you use Sarge's service or the local one.
For those staying at Ramada, please check out the TripAdvisor's reviews on it. We have had very mixed reports from this hotel....some say it is ok, others say it is not. So read the reviews and make your own decision! Sarge's MeetandGreet will have much more info for you than Ramada's will. Their's is just a social get together, but Sarge make his fun with lots of PIR weekend info.

Anna, go to the Ramada PIR meet and greet web page they have the info for you. Nice to now others will be staying here.

Thanks Diannep for the info. I think I'm leaning more on renting a car for the weekend but take the shuttle to graduation so I don't have to deal with driving on base.

Hi everyone, well my daughter made it to San Diego, so hard to believe she will be living there for the next 4 years. This week was her 4th anniversary of being in the Navy and now she is a Veteran and a Navy Wife. So although she isn't a sailor anymore she is still very much in the Navy life. She is going to talk to a recruiter in San Diego about joining the Navy Active reserves and she will also be going back to school to finish her degree. I sure am going to miss having her on the east coast. I have had her and my grand baby here for almost a month and they have kept me super busy. Between that and my business I haven't been on here as much as I would like. I will try to be here more, I will be in San Diego in a few days to visit and help them get unpacked and of course see as much of CA as possible. If you live in that area let me know, We are having a Navy Mom meet and greet June 7th, while we are there :)
I know right now 8 weeks of boot camp seems like forever but believe me when I say those 8 weeks will pass much more quickly than you think. And the next 4 years will fly and you will be wondering where on earth the time went.
