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 09/28/2012!

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 Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it 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.

Comment by diannep on September 25, 2012 at 8:50am: Maile: Suggestion: Change your cell voicemail to greet your new sailor...just in case! Phones off in flight are a problem....but you can ask that your sailor call back and leave many messages if he wants to...and you can leave a congratulatory message greeting him in your voicemail.

Safe travel!

Comment by Maile_N5 on September 25, 2012 at 8:17am: I hope they are a bit earlier than that...our flight is at 11:50PST! Haven't spoken to our SR since that first call...miss him dearly and would love to hear his voice say 'those' words.

Comment by cristyg on September 25, 2012 at 8:04am: I'm ready, I burned my blue candle all night.

Comment by diannep on September 25, 2012 at 7:52am: Hoping to hear from 313/314/946 today....I'm a Sailor calls could start as early as 2 pm GL time, so phones handy!

Comment by diannep on September 25, 2012 at 7:51am: Good Morning all!

WhitneysMom: Her road may have been longer (as was my son's) but she is almost there! YAH! I had to do what FTLW told you to do and had no problems. Having the original form letter/password is the key to getting the new one!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 25, 2012 at 6:32am: Thanks again everyone, I know you all will wear the ribbons proudly and I wish I could be there to meet all of you :-)

Whitney's mom, I am so happy for you and I bet you are beyond excited to finally be going to see your Sailor :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 24, 2012 at 11:29pm: Welcome!

Comment by Whitney's Mom on September 24, 2012 at 11:01pm: Thank you so much. You are awesome. I knew I could count on this group to help me out.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 24, 2012 at 10:54pm: Congratulations to all the new Sailors!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 24, 2012 at 10:53pm: Whitney's Mom - Call PAO in the AM. Keep your old Form Letter as you will need to give them her original password...then they will give you the new one. (This is the only time they give out password info).

Here is the number for PAO: Phone: Public Affairs Office 847-688-2405
