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 diannep on September 14, 2012 at 8:10am: courtneeg: Sent you a request with a message in it. Read the message before accepting the request or it goes away!

Comment by CourtNavyWife on September 13, 2012 at 9:34pm: If anyone wants to message me i know 305 bs

Comment by diannep on September 13, 2012 at 5:25pm: Sorry, ladies. I didn't receive dates for this group. I have an idea when most should go if you want to friend request/message me, but not confirmed. Some divisions should have phones handy tomorrow afternoon though, I think!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 13, 2012 at 5:12pm: To send someone a message just click on their picture or name and it will take you to their page. On the left side click on send a message. You may have to add them as a friend first but you can also send a message with the friend request. Just make sure you always jot down any info in a friend request message because once you accept the request that message disappears. I hope this helps :-)

Comment by Katie - Dan's Mom on September 13, 2012 at 5:08pm: I don't know how messaging works, but if you can explain it to me, I know when 306 is doing BS....
