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 coastieet on September 12, 2012 at 9:09pm: Hi Ladies, not sure how much I will be responding (through the traveling), but will be 'listening/stalking'. It has been a great group & I am glad to be here. I can not wait to actually be face-to-face with you! Congratulations to MLDD, if her daughter (as we can see now) has any small part of her, it is well deserved! MLDD has been our ROCK. Thank you. To each and every one of you I am honored to be associated with you. Our children are our efforts. I can see that you have each given yourself to this growth. Well done. In a way this 'community' is a small piece of what I hope to find in the world/planet. See you at the Meet & Greet!

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 8:33pm: MikeysMom: Those without family there aren't stuck on base. They get liberty with shipmates under the "buddy system." But all would rather be a part of a family for a while that day if they are invited!

Comment by lindagr41 - Ship 12 Div 295/296 on September 12, 2012 at 8:32pm: Hitting the hay..it has been a pleasure Ladies. I appreciate all the words of wisdom, prayers, laughter and tears, Heading out tomorrow morning about 6:30am GL time. Hope to see some of you in the bleachers.

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 8:30pm: Lynda: They should be able to use their cells at school. Don't have to phase up for that. But they cannot use them during class and many a sailor has gotten in trouble for trying to do that.

Comment by diannep on September 12, 2012 at 8:27pm: lindagr41: My son went to Meridian for A School. They had problems with his flight from OHare to Atlanta. Delayed a couple of times, and then returned to the gate. By the time they got to Atlanta, they had missed their connection. So Delta put them up for the night in Atlanta...oh boy...not a good thing....I was thinking: Sailors cooped up on RTC for a LONG time, now "free" in Atlanta? Uh oh...Hopefully they behaved!
