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."

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 1, 2011 at 11:38pm: Oh the 17th would be great. That would be Sun/Mon.

Comment by diannep on July 1, 2011 at 9:33pm: Terrysproudmom. Well, you never know. Remember, the advantage of RTC having Thurs night Battlestations is it gives the SRs in the PIR group before you extra time to pass their PFAs and do BattleStations that night (with your group) so they can be at their own PIR the next day. Most weeks, they have Thurs night BattleStations. But with five divisions, just not sure. I think if they start on Thurs night (week before PIR), it will be Div 231/232 going.

Please be asking your SRs when their date is and post so we can finish our schedule up in the discussion group above.. It is possible that they will go Thurs/Fri, Mon/Tues, Tues/Wed...but really don't know. Only your SRs can tell us!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 1, 2011 at 5:17pm: Diannep: So great to see how excited they all are. I hope our guys get to take theirs the end of week six so that we know before we are in the air flying to PIR and miss the actual call. With only five divisions it is probably unlikely that they will do it that early?

Comment by diannep on July 1, 2011 at 5:09pm: Terrysproudmom: I didn't realize that either when my son was there. He is also an E-3...but like I said, they get backpay to bring them up to the E-3 pay from what I read.

AMEN on your comments about our military!

You all check out pir 7/8's page...they are receiving their first batch of I'm a Sailor calls today! That will be your group in a couple of Fridays!

Comment by TinaZmom 02/936 on July 1, 2011 at 5:06pm: I received 2 letters today! I got the questionnaire back...he loved it. He said send more...they are easier than letters...lol I also included a self addressed stamped envelope.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 1, 2011 at 5:01pm: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC PICTURES of today's PIR on the RTC facebook page. I had tears rolling and my kid wasn't even there. Shows what we have to look forward to and really good pictures of what our 936 division will be doing. Everyone have a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Stay safe. Remember it is our military that has kept us independent and free so celebrate them too this weekend!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 1, 2011 at 4:55pm: I won't know if his pay is deposited or not. He too opened a Navy Federal CU account. Glad he did. He'll check it out when he gets to A school. What I didn't realize is that as a E3 he would still only get E1 papy in boot camp

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 1, 2011 at 2:28pm: I have had several missed emails because there is a problem with email messages on this site. If you sent me an email about ordering ribbons for PIR please send me an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com You still have plenty of time to place your order. I have several people in the 7-8 PIR group who are paying for Express shipping because they didn't know about them in time and I hate when people have to pay extra just for shipping. So send a message asap. I have had lots of problems with the email on this site and I don't want to miss your message. If you send me one here and I have not responded within 24 hours then that means I didn't get it. Thanks :-)

Comment by diannep on July 1, 2011 at 1:34pm: Wow, FTLW. Thanks for sharing that. Let me know if his first pay deposit was on the 15th...I can't imagine that he received one on the 1st, 2 days after he arrived. The 15th makes more sense because I have seen some get their pay 2 weeks after arriving (depending on dates). I think my sailor's group was delayed by the holidays--Thanksgiving, Christmas, and also New Years.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 1, 2011 at 1:24pm: Our Sailor had an account with a regular bank and was paid right away and all through BC. This was the 05/26/2022 PIR.
He arrived to BC on the 29th of March so the pay on April first (29th through the 30th) MAY have been lumped into the following 15th. I'd have to check.
I read that about the E-1 pay too, dianne. EVERYTHING has to be earned!
