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 20, 2012 at 7:51am: For those who may have reservations on American for PIR, let's hope that they get some better agreement before your PIR....flights being cancelled/delayed by pilots "calling in sick" and maintenance worker grounding flights for silly repairs, like a broken coffeemaker. So hope that they can come to some kind of agreement soon!

Comment by diannep on September 20, 2012 at 7:45am: Prayers, Lala!

Good Morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 20, 2012 at 7:07am: Thanks CeliaB, prayers really do work :-) Good Morning everyone, Happy Thursday/letter day. I hope you all get letters today :-)

My Sailor tests today for PO3 (Petty Officer 3rd class), so if you are a praying person a little prayer would be appreciated :-) Thanks so much!!!

Comment by CeliaB on September 20, 2012 at 6:17am: Good morning everyone!! Lala: Praise God your nephew got to go home yesterday! That is wonderful news :) Hoping to get a letter today and that everyone else will too!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 19, 2012 at 10:20pm: Thanks so much for the kind words about the ribbons :-) I am sure you will love them and wear them proudly!!!

Jordan was released from the hospital about an hour ago :-) We are so lucky that his mom is a nurse and took him to the Dr as soon as the symptoms appeared. He is by no means over it but is well on his way to recovery. The weird thing is at this point they don't know for sure if it is encephalitis or west nile virus and it takes a long time for the results to come back. Thanks again everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Navymassmomship13div313 on September 19, 2012 at 4:41pm: I cannot wait to meet everyone in just 1 week. It is very exciting.

Comment by Stephanie (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 19, 2012 at 4:34pm: Laurasia 87, I will be there the 28th also!!!! I can hardly wait! My ribbons should be in my mailbox really soon too. Can't wait to see them.

Lala, I'm so happy your nephew is better!!

Comment by Texanmom on September 19, 2012 at 1:30pm: MrsL(Ship 3/Div315)
Thanks for the advice. That rate sounds great. I'll check it out.

Comment by laurasue87 on September 19, 2012 at 12:02pm: Miss Lala- Happy to hear your nephew is feeling better. Very excited for my ribbon to get here! i will be wearing it with pride on the 28th! Anyone going to graduation on the 28th that will be going to the Flannigan's meet and greet on the 27th?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 19, 2012 at 9:59am: Thanks so much for prayers. I appreciate it so very much. I know prayer really does work. Jordan is feeling better this morning and hopefully will not be in the hospital too much longer. He is the sweetest little boy on earth :-) I babysit him and his brother and 4 month old baby sister and they are very near and dear to my heart <3
