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 amor on May 25, 2012 at 12:13am: I got nine letters in the mail today!!! :) best day ever

Comment by twopercentsmom(sh09div206PIR7/6) on May 24, 2012 at 11:56pm: You are all right of course; he is probably really busy and he isn't much of a writer either (I did threaten him though before he left that he had to write to me...LOL). It's nice to know we all share some very similar feelings. I will hang in there. I'm sure he's fine, just want to hear it from him. Thanks again everyone.

Comment by Twinsmom on May 24, 2012 at 10:40pm: Jmama--I have the countdown app on my phone for both of my boys! I thought we would get a letter today, too. I did receive one from his brother who graduates next Friday. I usually get his mail on Thursdays, but nothing from his brother yet...maybe tomorrow?

Comment by Jmama on May 24, 2012 at 10:02pm: Hey Ladies! I know how you are feeling! I'm in Texas and I thought for sure I would receive my letter today from my SR! Sure would love to hear from him. I have never went this long from hearing from him. So I guess I'll have to send Super Mailman to go get our letters from the black Abyss again! Lol. It's been 17 days 9 hrs 53 min. Since he left! And it is 1 month 11 days 12 hrs and 58 min until PIR, but who is counting? I AM....... Lol

Comment by Teachermom(sh3div208)PIR 07/06 on May 24, 2012 at 9:38pm: Twopercentsmom, no letter for me yet either. My SR is sure not much of a writer either but I sure hope he at least lets me know he's ok. I agree with you about being on the west coast...I think our mail takes a little extra time. So happy for all of you who got to hear from your SRs this week. What a relief that must be! My son has only been gone two weeks but I'm wishing I wouldn't have been so quick to wash his clothes...sounds obsessive but I'd like to smell his shirt right about now.

Comment by twopercentsmom(sh09div206PIR7/6) on May 24, 2012 at 8:34pm: I was really hoping for a letter today; but nothing. I'm going to hope it arrives tomorrow. I think being in Northern CA makes our mail slower. Coming up on the 3 weeks this weekend and now I can really start to see and feel how not hearing from them can wear on you and make you feel a bit blue...hoping to hear from him this weekend. I hope you all have a great Memorial Day Weekend.

Comment by katyellen (sh 3 div 208 PIR 7/6) on May 24, 2012 at 8:22pm: tyelersmom...that is so great..he is in my SR PIR date. So happy for you and him. Welcome

Comment by Dana (Proud Seabee Mom) on May 24, 2012 at 8:38am: received letter yesterday... i was SO ecstatic ... he s stated they were wwriting but they could not be sent till 5-20 ...He says he has made section leader... anybody help me out on that one??

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 8:33am: Yes, I agree with FTLW about not calling "the number" back from GL if you miss a call. Your SR will pay the price for that! So if you miss it, just wait for the next one!

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 8:32am: So glad to see you here, TylersMom> My son was delayed in training also when at bootcamp (for a week) and I was so excited when he joined another division and continued on to PIR. Welcome!
