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 ellen0502 on October 1, 2012 at 12:21am: Package A does include the Keel, now for when you will get it...LOL. I didn't receive my sons until the middle of July and his PIR was in April. I think that is NOT the norm though. I would allow approx 8 weeks for the Keel or the DVD (if ordered) to arrive before I would wonder if either were coming.

The Keel will include both your sailors division and its brother division, which is nice, since some from both divisions end up at school together

Comment by Stephanie (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 30, 2012 at 11:54pm: Picture packages question. I thought I read someplace that PKG. A includes the cruise book (Keel) I think it's called. Is this true and if so when do they get the book?

Comment by diannep on September 30, 2012 at 8:21pm: AC=Air Traffic Controller

Comment by Proudnavymom313 on September 30, 2012 at 7:38pm: My sons room mate at NACCS is from div 314...it is someone from his brother division. http://www.navyformoms.com/group/aircrew. Is anyone from our PIR a member of the aircrew group

Comment by Proudnavymom313 on September 30, 2012 at 7:04pm: What is AC

Comment by Maile - AC mom on September 30, 2012 at 5:05pm: AC :) Wow its so good to say that instead of "surviving bootcamp"

Comment by Proudnavymom313 on September 30, 2012 at 3:28pm: Maile what is your son's job?

Comment by Proudnavymom313 on September 30, 2012 at 3:21pm: My sailor went to Pensacola for NACCS, he is waiting to class up. It was so nice to spend time with him, it just didn't seem long enough.

Comment by cjmue12 on September 30, 2012 at 11:23am: What is the facebook link that PIR 9-28-2012 is under? Thanks!

Comment by Maile - AC mom on September 30, 2012 at 9:53am: Thank you so much for this group! I mentioned it to everyone I saw. It helped me so much this last 8 weeks. Hope the A school in Pensacola is as good :) Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Mostly pics of my son but there are some of the others :)
