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 Maile_N5 on September 8, 2012 at 2:24pm: Whoop! Whoop! 20 days. @Cristyg-we received a letter from our SR yesterday also. He mentioned Hell Week but didn't mention performing. Probably because he's not a performer yet he's in 946? With that said, if the mom from 945 could get pics of 946...especially of the non-performer brown kid (lol), I would be a happy mom :)

Comment by Dad of Sailor on September 8, 2012 at 1:17pm: COUNTER IS UNDER 20 DAYS!!!

Getting close now, can't wait. Glad I got my tickets when I did as they are several hundred dollars more per ticket now.

Comment by kazzam(SHIP 13 DIV 313) on September 8, 2012 at 11:00am: Very cute nails. Thanks for sharing.

Comment by cristyg on September 8, 2012 at 1:04am: Received a letter today from my daughter division946 it was dated 9/2 she said that they would be starting hell week. Can't wait to get next weeks letter or maybe a call this weekend to see how everything went. She did sound better this week. There are just so many questions that run through my head every day. There are some really great pics on the Facebook page for the 900 division. Our 946 division will start performing at PIR next Friday. I hope their are some families that post pics so we may get to see our SR' s. Everyone have a great weekend..... I think it is so quiet because everyone is anticipating letters on how hell week went for their SR..... I know I am ready.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on September 7, 2012 at 10:17pm: I've been checking in on here all day and it's been that way all day.

Comment by Dad of Sailor on September 7, 2012 at 8:39pm: I was wondering the same thing, whole site is quiet.

Comment by diannep on September 7, 2012 at 8:37pm: ...so very quiet here....where did everyone go???

Comment by kazzam(SHIP 13 DIV 313) on September 6, 2012 at 11:05pm: SHAZAMMM! Kazzam got a letter today. 13/313 doing better. Division average is 4.78. They are also taking their individual and division photos this week. He got to pick his "dream sheet" with San Diego being #1 and Florida #2 and Washington #3. He also said that after the 4 weeks of A school at GL, he will have a 10 day leave to come home before reporting to base. He has been sick and thinks that he might have "pink eye" :( All in all, he says BC is getting better and the RDC's are starting to ease up a little so they learn to do things on their own. I couldn't be more happy and proud than I am right now. Have a good night everyone.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 6, 2012 at 9:15pm: Happy birthday to your son blakes mom

Comment by Dad of Sailor on September 6, 2012 at 12:25pm: He called last Saturday and from the other room I heard her answer the phone and yell "HEY EVY!" I cringed and hoped no one could hear on his end. It is cute but I don't know how cute it would be if his friends or RDC's were calling him that. :)
