OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 momoffive2012 on September 12, 2012 at 8:15pm: Lynda they can only have their phones while on Liberty and then when they leave for school we can give it to them at the airport but they cannot have it on base...

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 12, 2012 at 8:14pm: Lindagr, I spoke to Sarge about your "airport" dilema.(He picked us up for a ride right after he talked to youi) Will you be at the meet and greet? We will find someone to get your sons stuff to him! If he's flying out of the smae airport as my daughter (don't know which one that is yet) I will take it for you. Send me a messagwith your phone number if you'd like!

Comment by ellen0502 on September 12, 2012 at 8:09pm: Lynda, your son should be able to use his phone right away after leaving the RTC.

I understand that this sometimes is not the case, but it doesn't have anything to do with the "phasing" they go through for liberty, off base liberty civilian clothes etc. Your sailor will know what his restrictions are, if he can't use it right away it will be locked up for him until he can.

It is so exciting to see all of you getting ready for Friday. Please come back and share with everyone your PIR experience. Those of us veteran moms love hearing the stories and we always like your input if things have changed from what we know or have been told.

This has been such a great group to watch and I want to see pictures of the TazNavyan Momsters when you come back. Please share!!!

Comment by lindagr41 - Ship 12 Div 295/296 on September 12, 2012 at 7:53pm: Anyone else have s Sailor going to Meridian Mississippi for A School?

Comment by elizabeth/ mom ship 13 div 294 on September 12, 2012 at 7:44pm: My son asked me to go....but I agree public place.....

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on September 12, 2012 at 7:36pm: You go Lukes mom!! I say we all go to the airport wearing our Taz Mom shirts!

Comment by Johnson x 2 Mom on September 12, 2012 at 7:32pm: I'm going to the airport. It's a public place & I'm allowed to be at a public airport. They may not give us gate passes but I'll see my sailor even if it's for a minute. I'll be doing it like a Taznavyan Momster....

Comment by FresnoNavyMom (Nuke School) on September 12, 2012 at 7:27pm: My son told me the same thing about the airport.. that we're not allowed to send him off. His flight leaves at 10am. I would love that time with him.

Comment by WalkersMom (Groton, CT) on September 12, 2012 at 7:27pm: Hi Ladies...I'm not so much a "talker" as "listener"...and I have been doing a lot of "listening". It has been such a blessing to have this site especially this group over the last 8 weeks. Thank you so much for all the info...and entertainment. What a fun group. I will continue to pray for you...and our kids as we embark on the next step of this journey. So exciting! Congratulations, new sailors! Safe travels...

Comment by Stacy - Virginia Beach, VA on September 12, 2012 at 7:16pm: momoffive....where are you flying from cuz our flight gets in about the same time?
