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 Beener/ship03div208 on July 4, 2012 at 6:21am: Happy 4th everyone. This will be the best 4th of July ever. We will be seeing our sons and daughters graduating. I am so excited. God bless and will be praying for traveling mercies whether it be short or far. Looking forward to meeting y'all at Sarge's meet and greet. :)

Comment by CaliMommaJ on July 4, 2012 at 2:55am: Extra prayers tonite and the blue candle glowing for the last round of Battlestations! Figure it is about 2am in Illinois and the SR's are 7 hrs into it! Shortly we will alll be able to give a huge collective sigh of relief that we ALL have sailors! See you all in Great Lakes very soon! :)

Comment by Britt<3Corpsman Wife on July 4, 2012 at 2:46am: Just want to wish everyone safe travels as we make our way to Great Lakes over the next couple of days! Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of eachother these last 9 weeks or so. I really would have been pulling my hair out if I didn't have this site to vent or stalk on! Lol I cannot wait to see my sailor:) I hope to meet some of you at the meet n greets.

Comment by ellen0502 on July 4, 2012 at 2:14am: Happy 4th of July ladies!!!!

Comment by Mom2TJ on July 3, 2012 at 10:41pm: nssmom.. My son is Ship 09 Div 210 and I got the "Im a sailor" call but nothing since either... they must just be busy getting ready for the big day... :)

Comment by Jmama on July 3, 2012 at 9:36pm: Thanks nssmom. Right now I receive that prayer because I'm still unsure about my son and what's going on and it's taking an emotional toll on me!

I hope your daughter gets to contact you soon....if not YOU definitely will see her Friday. Woo!!! hoooo!!! She's a sailor !!

Hope to meet ya there!

Comment by MyLAS (My Lips are SEALed) on July 3, 2012 at 8:27pm: If anyone is stressing over the drive to GL from O'Hare.....YOU CAN DO IT. This was the first time I had rented a car on my own and I have had no experience in city traffic but I did fine.

I got my car from Alamo (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD..... NOT THE ONE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE YOUR CARD BUT HAS YOUR HUSBAND"S NAME!!!!.. ). They were very helpful... EASY PEEZY way to get on the highwaay.. Only one toll (less than $2.00). Good luck

Comment by diannep on July 3, 2012 at 7:06pm: If only one division went last night, there are 3 left to go.

Jmama: If you don't get your call tonight, call PAO tomorrow morning...find out his status. Hoping that they tell you he is a sailor.

Sharon: A "holdover" is one that didn't get to participate in his/her own division's BattleStations (for one reason or another), or failed it the first time.
