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 May 19, 2012 at 9:22am: You are doing the right thing kateellen, staying busy helps more than anything :-)

Comment by diannep on May 19, 2012 at 9:14am: katyellen: Hopefully, they will get to call after they have been there for 3-4 weeks. Calls can be promised, earned, scheduled, etc...but they can be "lost" for the least little thing. Many times, we see a SR write that they can call on (date) but then it doesn't happen. Just remember....one mistake by one person can cost the entire division a call. Hard lessons, but necessary to create "teamwork" in the SRs.

The calls are totally up to the RDCs in your SR's division. My son happened to be in 2 different divisions when there because he was asmoed for a week. In his first division...a good number of calls were allowed. In his second one, which he entered into during training week #3 (bootcamp week # 4 or #5), I think he only got to call one time. So it is very random. Also, remember, if a SR has "watch," they may miss their call...some of them are allowed to call after watch or the next day. But not always.

Phones handy at all times!

Now to plan our trip....I WILL NOT MISS HIS GRADUATION FOR ANYTHING! So I officially can say I am apart of this PIR 7/6 group! Yay!
