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 07/06/2012"

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 Chimene on July 3, 2014 at 8:52am: Mine is doing well. So far he has earned his dolphins and advanced to E4 and loving what he's doing. Right now he is deployed some where under the sea. Hard to believe 2 years have gone by already!

Comment by Britt<3Corpsman Wife on June 20, 2014 at 6:32pm: We are 2 years in ladies!! How is everyone's sailors doing? Lets hear an update!!

Comment by Harley69, Ship 9, Div 209 on October 2, 2012 at 9:10am: My son graduated A School in San Antonio for MA (Master at Arms) and is now stationed at PAX River, Maryland. He just started his actual work yesterday and loves it. He's close to home, too. We live in PA, so it's only about a 4 1/2 - 5 hr drive. He loves that he can still come home on weekends and we are loving it too!! The Navy has been the best decision he's made. Best of luck to all of our Sailors!!

Comment by katyellen (sh 3 div 208 PIR 7/6) on October 2, 2012 at 8:59am: Wow, thanks for the responses on updating. My sailor is still in Chicago and will graduate in February of 2013. He's going in to "fire control". We are so excited for him as this really was the best decision he has ever made. Not sure where he will be based at after that. Good luck to all your sailors.

Comment by katyellen (sh 3 div 208 PIR 7/6) on September 26, 2012 at 12:10pm: How about some updates on your sailors. Would love to hear from all of you about where they are headed and what has been going on since graduation. We received the wrong Keel book and found out that it happened to a few others, so if you have the wrong book, please contact the photo lab at: 1-847-578-6205 they are reprinting more books and will be sending them out to those who got the wrong ones. Hope to hear from all of you. Kathy
