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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 4, 2012 at 9:12pm: Thanks Betsy, they made it back and i am so happy to have them home :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on September 4, 2012 at 1:27pm: proudwife, Woohoo on the call. I bet your toddler was so happy.

Jolene, ((Hugs)) my prayers to your SR as well. I'm sure he is getting the best care and will be good as new in no time.

KTK, I would suggest that you dress in layers and bring some closed toed shoes just in case. The late summer weather could go either way in GL.

Lala, aww, ((hugs)) I'm glad to hear that your family will be back today.

Comment by Dad of Sailor on September 4, 2012 at 12:42pm: KTK...no reason to be nervous, anything particular that is stressing you out that I can assist with?

Comment by diannep on September 4, 2012 at 9:08am: Good Morning all.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 3, 2012 at 9:19pm: The long weekend is coming to an end "sigh" I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent the whole weekend alone. My hubby and son were away on a fishing trip and it was way too quiet here. I will be so glad when they get home tomorrow night :-) I am sure your recruits were happy to get an extra "holiday" routine this weekend. And hopefully that means extra letters coming this week. Just remember everything will be delayed a day because of the holiday.

I just realized your PIR is on my Dad's 70th birthday :-)

Prayers are always a wonderful thing and my prayers to your recruit as well Jolene :-)

Comment by Jolene2Sailors on September 3, 2012 at 8:43pm: Thank you for all the encouraging words...and the promise of prayer support for Justin and the rest of us. He has no desire to quit, so I know he will push forward until he accomplishes his goal.

Comment by Dreamer1118 SHIP 13 DIV 314!!! on September 3, 2012 at 5:32pm: *ktk i meant*

Comment by Dreamer1118 SHIP 13 DIV 314!!! on September 3, 2012 at 5:32pm: Ktl- need long clothes its in like the 60s and 50s there on/off.i was from
Nh and Chicago os not that much different. So long pants and long
Sleeve shirt

Comment by KTK - SHIP 12 DIV 307 on September 3, 2012 at 5:01pm: Happy Labor Day to everyone, and I have to say I am getting excited to fly out to see him. This site and group has helped so much, not sure about others but my son is not the most informative on things. :) I was wondering since i am from Florida and we are shorts and flipflops all year around, how is the weather in the Great Lakes?? I am still nervous about this whole trip but postive

Comment by diannep on September 3, 2012 at 8:31am: Jolene: So very sorry about his....the delays are not fun for sure. But know that most recover from these stress fractures (the most common injury in bootcamp) and continue training, becoming sailors. Hoping it won't take the full 8 weeks to recover...he will constantly be medically assessed so hoping the training will start back for him earlier. Prayers for all....

Happy Labor Day to all!
