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 09/21/2012

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 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 KellieW ship 4 div 303 on August 16, 2012 at 8:42am: Oh for sure we will stay on here, I wake up in the morning and come on here FIRST before facebook anymore. I luv ya ladies and I don't know any of you ha ha..

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 8:38am: They may be able to write letters more than once a week (some do this under the red lights at lights out time)....but they usually can only mail out once a week. Right now, most likely on Monday. That could change later on. Sometimes they can mail out more often down the road.

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 8:36am: Congrats on the letters/calls being received...

and the promotion, Kathrine. That's wonderful!

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 8:35am: Just be sure to still stay on this site also if you all move over to a FB group! We will start dispensing lots of info for you on this page....so please stay connected here!

Good Morning!

Comment by Katie - Dan's Mom on August 16, 2012 at 7:50am: If you haven't joined the PIR 9/21 fb group, I recommend that as well.... http://www.facebook.com/groups/PIR.9.21.2012/

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 16, 2012 at 4:44am: Congrats on your letters too...bhindthechair and KellieW!

Comment by bhindthechair S.4 D.303 PIR 9/21 on August 16, 2012 at 12:24am: Got a letter! :-) What a difference it makes to your health and well-being lol
Suddenly I feel relief knowing that she is good and doing well :-)

Comment by KellieW ship 4 div 303 on August 15, 2012 at 11:17pm: We got our letters today too, well his mom did rightfully so, secretly I was hoping for one of my own too but that's ok she called and read it to me. He sounded so up beat which was wonderful. Passed all his run, sit ups, push ups etc too so that made me feel a lot better.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 15, 2012 at 10:23pm: Mrs. FTLW......LOVE it...well, that's who I am!

A little bit of irony...my hubby is FTL...his buds gave him that when he had his third son...he and his three sons are "enough for a fireteam". So, I stole it and added "Wife".

Now, Seabee son has a Fire Team leader .

Seems we are "stuch" (happily) with it!

Comment by sparkyjo-PIR 09/21/12 Div 303 on August 15, 2012 at 9:56pm: Thanks, Mrs. FTLW. That is the clearest I've seen the weeks and days explained.
