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 19, 2012 at 8:27am: Cathy: YES! Those sailors with no family can spend time with yours. Your SR will need to arrange this so let him/her know.

Comment by diannep on September 19, 2012 at 8:12am: Cathy: Bring your "extras" to PIR. They should get in with proper ID. They may have to wait a while (save them seats), but should get in.

Comment by diannep on September 19, 2012 at 8:11am: Prayers, Lala.

Good Morning Ladies!

Comment by Stephensmomship13DIV314 on September 19, 2012 at 7:23am: Lala we will have him and family in our prayers.

Comment by cristyg on September 18, 2012 at 11:13pm: Prayers headed your way Lala

Comment by CeliaB on September 18, 2012 at 10:14pm: Said a prayer for him while putting my girls down for bed. Praying he'll get well soon!

Comment by kazzam(SHIP 13 DIV 313) on September 18, 2012 at 10:10pm: Poor baby, hope he gets better real soon. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 18, 2012 at 9:48pm: I agree, renting a car can be a very good option. It can cost less for the whole weekend than the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel and then back to the hotel a couple days later.

i hope everyone has had a good day.It has been crazy here. My great nephew, Jordan who is only 5 years old, is in the hospital with encephalitis. Please keep him in your prayers. They caught it early and that is a good thing. Hoping he will be good as new very soon. He was at my house for dinner Sunday night and seemed perfectly healthy. It can come on so quickly and he is an absolute sweetheart :-) We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Comment by ranaeaw (ship 03 div 316) on September 18, 2012 at 9:56am: I agree SeeShell - I'm going to get a lint roller and a tide pen. I have never before put them at the top of my shopping list, but was so excited to do that. Big smiles all around today for that!

Comment by Dad of Sailor on September 17, 2012 at 6:30pm: Don't forget your Vehicle Gate Pass which are available now. You'll need the password that was on the form letter you received the first week.
