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 Teachermom(sh3div208)PIR 07/06 on June 10, 2012 at 2:17pm: I am beginning to look for info about our SRs A school...any advice on where to go?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 10, 2012 at 11:16am: librarymom, that is a sight to see for sure. People are so great when they see the sailors too. Many people will just come right up to them and thank them. :)

Amber and Dana, the first few weeks are a challenge for some SR's and the RDC's definitely have their work cut out for them getting them all in shape. It's especially hard for the ones who are following the rules since they also get the "hits" if someone else is acting up. "Hit' is just an expression and they don't really hit them. :) You just wait and see how far they will come by PIR. It will be totally amazing.

Comment by diannep on June 10, 2012 at 10:14am: Good morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 9, 2012 at 6:38pm: When it rains, it pours :-( If you received an email from me (regular email from uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com, not this sites emails/messages) it would have had a weird weird link on it. DO NOT open the link. I didn't send it and it could be a virus. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this could have caused and of my friends. I get these emails all the time so I know not to open them. But I guess somehow I got a virus from it. Don't open it and you will be fine. I never send links like that in an email. I would only send you a link to my website or facebook page and that would be in the middles of a real message that you can tell is from me. Thanks

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 9, 2012 at 6:25pm: that is too bad you missed the call twopercents but now you can hear his voice anytime you want to :-) I am super excited to hear you guys are getting calls. YAY!!!

I am back from the yard sale, you will be happy to know that i was smart this time and stayed in the shade lol. I did not however sell out so I guess I will do it again next Saturday. I see this group has a new member, another veteran lol, I promise eventually the newbie members will outweigh the veterans on this page :-)

Comment by twopercentsmom(sh09div206PIR7/6) on June 9, 2012 at 4:11pm: Hi All-I FINALLY got my 1st call but it was really early and I missed it. He left a message though and it was great to hear his voice. He said he couldn't call a week ago because he was getting his wisdoms pulled. He also said things are starting to get fun and he's going to be firing weapons (which he is really good at anyway) and some fire fighting training and he can't wait until July 6th. Super bummed I missed his call but wonderful to hear his voice. We are two hours behind here in CA so there was always that possibility I would miss it. Oh well only 26 days to go...super excited! Thanks all!!

Comment by diannep on June 9, 2012 at 2:19pm: librarymom: Yep, today is the day for lots of sailors to be there since they are flying out to their A Schools after yesterday's PIR. It is quite a sight! Chicago LOVES their sailors and they are very friendly towards them and their families.

Comment by MyLAS (My Lips are SEALed) on June 9, 2012 at 11:46am: Just heard from a young friend of ours on her way to work at a camp in Michigan. She is in Ohare and says there are sailors EVERYWHERE! Can't wait til I;m there!!! Time really is passing quicker than I thought. It really helps to "talk" to you guys.

Comment by Dana (Proud Seabee Mom) on June 9, 2012 at 10:53am: Amber - that's awsome- they are starting weapons - he says some can't keep their mouths shut and get in trouble a lot - he says its hard keeping the quiet, as he is section leader and gets yelled at more for it. but he hangin in there. Says he gainin weight - which is nice - that boy was SO skinny when he left. Lol
