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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 14, 2012 at 9:01am: Good Morning and Happy Flag Day everyone :-)

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2012 at 7:29am: Oh my, Britt....sure hope all is ok! Keep us posted...any damage to your place?

I just saw news footage of the HUGE hail chunks that fell in the Dallas TX area. My son lives near Austin. Hope they didn't get any of it. It damaged cars, roofs, etc...hail the size of hockey pucks, they said. Wow.

Comment by Britt<3Corpsman Wife on June 13, 2012 at 11:35pm: We just had an earthquake in southern cali. I wish my husband was here to calm me down. I hope there are no aftershocks!! I need to get a good nights sleep. I can't wait for PIR:)

Comment by ellen0502 on June 13, 2012 at 10:16pm: armor, what rate is your son? I should probably ask that before I try and give you a some kind of probably sort of maybe reason that he would stay in GL before A School

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 13, 2012 at 6:18pm: Banners are great but if you make one you will have to use it at the hotel or maybe on your car. They don't allow banners or posters/sign in the PIR hall. It's not that they don't want you to show support for your Sailor but they want everyone to be able to see, or try to see, their Sailor when they march in. One mom snuck a sign in and held it up when her son's division marched in and another mom behind completely missed seeing her son. Hanging it in your hotel room is an awesome idea :-)

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2012 at 5:55pm: amor: Ask that question on the Groton group on here. You may have other ladies who can tell you why on that group. You also may want to ask it on the Great Lakes A School Q&A group.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 13, 2012 at 5:24pm: Helping a Dad on here out!

"Now here this! Now here this! This is a group for you Dads out there. If you've been to other groups and just can't find the information you're looking for, this would be the place to ask.

And gosh darn it, men have feelings and miss their sailors too!

So come onboard and batten down your hatches."

Dads on Moms.....com

Uhhh...I might talk to him about the Title of the group!

Comment by amor on June 13, 2012 at 4:31pm: hey everyone, my SR just wrote to me to tell me that he has been told that he has to stay in great lakes for 6 weeks f school BEFORE he can go to the A-school he was originally told he'd be attending in Groton, CT...why would they make him stay in great lakes if his A-school is in CT? i don't get it...has anyone had a similar experience?

Comment by Dana (Proud Seabee Mom) on June 13, 2012 at 2:53pm: I just bought him an Anchor crucifix. Thanks Lala Ribbon for the Great Idea!!!!
