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 grinn_n on June 29, 2012 at 9:28am: Great optimism Amber! I'm glad you got a letter from him yesterday, I'm sure it helped relieve some of the worries/frustrations. Let's hope we get that call today. Keep us updated!

I sure hope BS went well for all of the SR last night too!!

Comment by SailorMom_12 (Ship 03 DIV 208) on June 29, 2012 at 8:57am: Good morning ladies! Happy Friday!!!

It is such a relief to wake up this morning and for once NOT be worried like crazy about my Sailor. I can now relax and just be a darn proud mama again! :-)

Prayers and hope for a phone call today to anybody that hasn't heard from their Sailors yet.

Mom2TJ - I sent you a friend request. I am from a small town in North Idaho also! I am not sure if our travel schedules will jive but send me a message and maybe we can chat about carpooling.

Comment by diannep on June 29, 2012 at 8:05am: Oops, forget my post below, Mom2TJ. Forgot you had 6 people. Wouldn't be able to share a cab then. I agree with Ellen...renting a van would be the way to go...sorry it is so pricey.

Comment by diannep on June 29, 2012 at 8:01am: Thinking that 209/210 went last night, so keep those phones close by this afternoon. Calls can start as early as 2 pm GL time!

Mom2TJ. If Sarge will be picking up anyone else at the airport that night, you can share his cab for cheaper. Did you ask him about that? I know you are coming in a little late so don't know how many will be arriving then, but be sure to ask him.

suzart: When you meet your sailor at the airport, you get it at the airlines counter. Not a problem. Just make sure to have ID for all who need gate passes.

Comment by suzart37 on June 29, 2012 at 6:36am: Could someone tell me how to get the airport pass?

Comment by ellen0502 on June 29, 2012 at 2:54am: Mom2TJ, you shouldn't have any difficulty driving in especially since you are coming in later at night. If you have a smart phone use the navigation app on it, it will take you right to where you are going. If you are planning on going anywhere else that weekend it may be less expensive to rent a car.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 29, 2012 at 12:10am: I bumped up some PIR Discussions up above!

Comment by CaliMommaJ on June 28, 2012 at 10:47pm: Dana- where is that??? I called enterprise and cheepest car $40+/day that will squeeze in four. I need a van for 6 and that is $107/day!

Comment by Mom2TJ on June 28, 2012 at 10:43pm: I am from a very small Idaho town and have never driven in a "big city" so Im kinda scared to drive by myself at 10:30pm... but I dont have unlimited funds and even Sarges dicounted taxi is $75... that is pretty spendy... so I was thinking it just may save money for me to rent a car..
