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 09/14/2012! A place for friends and family to stay connected!

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 in your username you will need to change your username. If yours 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 to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by elizabeth/ mom ship 13 div 294 on July 26, 2012 at 1:57pm: saw your heading on hotels...I booked mine based on reviews here and at web site

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on July 26, 2012 at 1:53pm: Kira, WAAAAA i hope you don't change ships or div on me! I've also been looking at the "suites". Hubby and I will possibly will be sharing a 2 bedroom with my ex and his wife (whew! good thing we all get along fabulously!).

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on July 26, 2012 at 1:50pm: Welcome Elizabeth!!!! Yep, we're all just putting one foot in front of the other, but we're doin' it together!

DJmom-changed my profile pic!

Comment by Kira (Daughter AT1 Whidbey) on July 26, 2012 at 1:47pm: Hey MLDD! I also already booked my hotel a week ago when the mom of a girl who left 7 days earlier had 9/7. I assumed 9/14 and booked the Navy Lodge but knew I could change it later.

Hopefully get my form letter today. Since the recruiter gave me the wrong address for Ship 14 I'm not sure if that's even her ship! I hope our E's are support for each other.
