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 Mom2TJ on June 22, 2012 at 12:05pm: Where is Sarges meet and greet? the Ramada? And if I need to use Sarges taxi service from MKE airport do I need to call in advance to reserve it or just whenever I land?

Welcom Dana... My son too was in a different div (188) and he actually was originally supposed to PIR today... but he was injured and set back and now is div 210... so I have been there where you are.. its hard but it does get easier.. :)

Comment by Britt<3Corpsman Wife on June 22, 2012 at 11:56am: My husband gave me a date for BS21 for Div 207. I have a question regarding it?

If he tells me it starts on a certain day... the 'I'm a sailor' call would be sometime the next afternoon, right? I just want to make sure I have my phone with me for sure.

And Div 207... for some reason he thinks they get to call today... keep those phones close!!! :)

Comment by Dana (Proud Seabee Mom) on June 22, 2012 at 11:27am: Time to be ringing some boys necks LOL - I will try to make Sarges meet n greet as I here there is a lot of info we can get there... Hope to meet you all there!! And again thanks to all who post that they have heard from their recruit - we appriciate it!!

Comment by HossLuvinNavyMom(S09 D205) on June 22, 2012 at 11:12am: Morning all - and welcome to PIR 7/6 DanaVan!

Well Dana, I am will you, no letter yesterday either but beleiving what I said yesterday as no call to say otherwise - they must be busy. But it sure is hard after getting a letter the last 4 weeks to not get one and not know what is going on! TRYING hard to stay focused on the many home/barn issues so I don't worry and stay productive where I should. ESP as I hope to leave for 4 days in a few weeks!!! Thanks for who posted (can't look back now as I am typing) about 205 getting another flag, that is at least 2 - great for them! Sounds like they are hard at work. Thanks to all who keep up the info on each Div so others (like me) know! Hope to meet everyone hear at PIR. Please post if you are going to the Sarges meeting or another as we are right next to Flannagans but will go over to Sarges if more are going there. HAVE A GOOD DAY ALL!

Comment by diannep on June 22, 2012 at 10:28am: Should say that my message to "Dana" a few posts below is actually to DanaVann. We have 2 "Dana's" on here now! Don't want to get them confused!

Comment by diannep on June 22, 2012 at 10:27am: Dana, don't have a date yet for 205/206 but they should be the first group to start. Should be mid-week next week, is my guess. The SRs are the ones who know the date so all need to ask.

Remember, we can't post actual dates on here, but we can private message them. Please don't post them in the discussion groups either...RTC has asked us to keep them off of Navy4Moms and Facebook. Private message only.

Comment by Dana (Proud Seabee Mom) on June 22, 2012 at 8:43am: Diannep - could you please message me the date of out BS21- thank you!

Comment by Dana (Proud Seabee Mom) on June 22, 2012 at 8:38am: I just want to say thank you ladies - its so good to hear our Div is doing good - I live through your letters as I havnt received one these past couple weeks and do not know how things are. If it werent for you guys I'd be lost!!! Please keep posting your letters - its great!!

Comment by diannep on June 22, 2012 at 8:06am: Welcome, Dana. He will do fine. I know it is quite a shock since I know you had travel plans in place. I did too when my son was pushed back when there. I was also shocked, but it worked out fine. It will for you too! So glad that your son is healthy again and moving along. He will make new friends in his new division and they will get through these last days together...before all become sailors!

Good morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 22, 2012 at 3:49am: Well it is now 3:46 am here lol and I have not been to bed. I had to pack and clean so much to get done. I will be traveling all day today but I will check in with my cell phone. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
