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 08/10/2012 :)

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 diannep on August 7, 2012 at 12:01pm: It will be here before you know it, Christy! And that will be the sweetest hug ever! :-)

Comment by diannep on August 7, 2012 at 11:59am: Hoping to get some I'm a Sailor calls on here today! 939?

Comment by Christy_Ship07Div242 on August 7, 2012 at 8:27am: diannep: Thank you:). I feel somewhat better after reading the post from members that have stayed there. Your comment is the very reason I wanna make sure its ok...I want my son to take a nice long shower in a clean shower. If he just wants to hang out and visit, I want him to be able to without being in a smelly, stale room. Your story makes me wanna hug my son right now!!! 3 more days!!!!!

Comment by diannep on August 7, 2012 at 8:24am: Here's a peek!

Comment by ellen0502 on August 6, 2012 at 11:06pm: What a week you all are in for!!!!! Early congrats on those who will be receiving a call this week. Safe travels to those traveling to GL in the next few days.

That door opening up on Friday can be a tear jerker, knowing your SAILOR is right behind that door ready to march in, and trying to find them is somewhat of a "Where's Waldo" game.

Congratulations to all of you and your Sailors!!!!! Friday, here it comes!!

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2012 at 6:11pm: Christy: Just know that many stay at the Ramada and are fine with it. You probably won't be in the room much anyway...except your new sailor will want that LONG shower ALONE! That is something they all are looking forward too....no more "buddy" showers! :-)

When my son was there....he took his long shower, put his uniform back on, and had the door to the bedroom cracked. I could see him leaning over, folding his "dirty" tshirt....ever so carefully! Quite different from the way he folded his tshirts after washing them before he left (lets just say...they looked like he had slept in them many times!). :-)

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2012 at 6:08pm: Thanks, purplegiraffe! Congrats to 939/247! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2012 at 6:06pm: Ok, ladies. Remember....we can't talk about Battlestations specifically on here! Just private message.....

But exciting times are coming!

Comment by WadesMoM on August 6, 2012 at 5:49pm: Thats what I thought, but a mom called me earlier and wanted to know if I had gotten my call and of course I panicked!! I was NOT in a position to keep my phone beside me today.. I had arranged for tomorrow, but not today!

Thanks Alicia!!
