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 09/05/2014! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP
~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Excitedly ran to the mailbox today hoping and praying for a letter from my son.. nope.. no letters.. only received a Woman's Day magazine and a post card about someone wanting him to join an organization for Eagle Scouts.... would have much rather had a letter.. I really hope it doesn't take 2 weeks for me to get a letter from him.. that will be sad.. :(

I am having huge computer issues where my computer won't even turn own. I use my hubby's computer when he's at work but for some reason his mouse pad on the laptop has gone crazy and moves the around all over where I am typing and makes a jumbled mess. It takes at least 10 minutes to post a comment so I get very frustrated and give up. My is home and she thinks she can fix my hubby's computer and she has a laptop I can use for a while as well. It will be at least two weeks before I get my computer back :( I will never again buy a Dell. Please don't think I have deserted you. I will be here as much as I can and I can always keep up with the facebook groups using my phone. If you need me or have any questions for me please send me a friend request or message me on Facebook. I am an admin for all the PIR groups there as well :)

For those who didn't get calls from their SR even though a division was making calls, no worries. It could have been that your SR had watch and missed the calls. Hopefully a call will come soon! Also, if they are SIQ (after wisdom teeth extraction, etc), they cannot make the calls. Sometimes they get to make makeup calls so lets hope that happens!

Hi everyone, I am one of the "veteran" moms who has stuck around this site and the PIR facebook pages long after my sailors PIR to help others just like you. My daughter had PIR July 23rd 2010 and was an AO based in VA all 4 years. She is now out, got out in May but she is married to a sailor based in San Diego now and they have a baby girl who will be a year old on Thursday. They are here visiting me now :) So excited to have them home for her first birthday. My best advice for now is write every single day if you can. Your letters are the highlight to their day. They have long hard days of training and studying and learning to become fine young sailors and each night when it is time for bed have mail call. They may be feeling like they made a mistake and not sure if they can do it. But then they lay down on their rack and read your words of encouragement and know they can make it through another day. So keep those pens busy and your phones always close by. Welcome to your group :)
