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."

I have a question. My son put three names on the list for graduation. He told me put the last one. Who the heck do I give this info to? Also, I read somewhere that if you were a veteran of armed services you would not need this pass to get in. I am a veteran and this would allow my pass to be freed up for another family member? So confused!

Folks - I am not trying to be rude so please don't take it that way when I say this...but please post questions on the main wall of the group for answers. :-) The main wall is for the whole PIR group and then there are division discussions...in addition the Discussion Forum is best used for specific topics.
We veteran moms stay on the main page of the group more...the reason being that we have 7-8 PIR groups running at one time...that means over 50 divisions at one time as well... and that way everyone can see answers for general questions such as these. Many members will not post but read only and may look at the main wall more. I will answer here and post on the main wall as well.
Access list - Communicate by mail with your SR if you want to discuss th access list. They will finalize it a couple of weeks before PIR.
You must be retired or active duty with a valid ID card for entry to PIR without being on the Access list. You can be a veteran without being retired. Here is a BLOG about it and there is a link to the RTC Websites page for Military atttending PIR at the end of it. I hope that helps.

Ladies, I agree with FTLW. We N4Moms veterans are missing all of these questions because no way do we have time to go into the discussion groups all of the time (we are on 6-8 PIR groups at a time!). A 9/28/2012 discussion group is the same as the main PIR group page....and that is where we will watch carefully for your questions and one of us will answer!
So....stay in your division discussion groups to get to know each other, but please consider posting your questions on the main PIR page. Thanks, Ladies! We hate it when we miss questions you all have....because we don't want rumors to get started with people guessing what the answer is! :-)

laurasue: Like FTLW said, your SR will have to add this last name when the list is updated a couple of weeks before PIR. Nothing you can do with it, other than be aware who is on the list! Your SR is in total control of that!

Hi laurasue 87. I can't wait until I see my son. I am missing him so much. Was so use to calling him every night when he was in college. This has been a tuff road so far. I am very proud of him.

Adding this so you can find the Main Wall of the PIR group:
The Main Wall of the PIR group is the Comment Wall on the Main Page of the group. Just follow the Discussion Forum down and you will see a box to post a comment...it says "Comment Wall"...and add the reply and it will post just underneath...you will see the latest posts just underneath it.Right now, at the time of this post... it has my goofy posts of the day.
Hope that helps. I will post this on this Discussion for "direction" but I will close it back up again...it wasn't done to be mean but I I am sorry if it needed more direction. Thank you.
