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 CeliaB on August 16, 2012 at 3:30pm: Just got a letter from our son today!!!! We are from the south, so he tells me that the northeners are weird and talk funny, but they think he says weird stuff and talks funny...haha! But he said it sucks there and wants a lot of letters!! Doesn't sound like he has received any of ours...I hope he does soon! Glad we are all finally getting our letters! :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 16, 2012 at 2:12pm: Oh yikes! Not good...I don't know WHY people DO that!

Okay...well...I DO know why (after 28 years of it)...but I'm still "a girl" so I chuckle, shake my head and am annoyed all at the same time!

Ha, was probably the recruits "bud"...well, here is a motto for that recruit to send back..."Payback's a med evac."

Comment by Proud Girlfriend on August 16, 2012 at 1:51pm: I got my letter from my boyfriend today! Ship 13. Div. 311!!! I'm sooo happy! He had 5 shots and someone in hos divison had got a dirty pic from home in a letter so they had to do 3 hours of PT

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 16, 2012 at 1:33pm: It has been HOT whereI am at too...107+...and humid which is not the norm. But it figures as we just put in a swamp cooler and couldn't use it!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 16, 2012 at 1:32pm: SusanG - Hopefully you still will...mine waited a bit as some of the questions he couldn't answer becasue they hadn't done it yet!

Comment by Matt'smom,ship13 div 314 on August 16, 2012 at 1:08pm: Yay! I got a letter from my son today! He says BT is hard but he is doing fine. He says he thinks about us everyday and misses us. (wow that blew me away). There is lots of yelling (he said he doesn't mind the yelling at all) and that we would get a kick out of the drill instructor yelling in his face. He doesn't like folding or ironing his clothes (no surprise there) His favorite part of the day is chow! He didn't mention receiving any of our letters yet. So happy and relieved to hear from him.

Comment by Dad of Sailor on August 16, 2012 at 1:07pm: jainz - lol, funny you should mention that. We got a letter from my son yesterday and he mentioned that they had to march in the rain for an hour last week and said "he loved it". We're from the Phoenix metro area also and he was enjoying the rain since he sees it so little at home.

Comment by kazzam(SHIP 13 DIV 313) on August 16, 2012 at 1:00pm: Hi Jainz, Where in AZ are you? I'm in Gilbert.

Comment by Jainz57 on August 16, 2012 at 12:39pm: FTLW, haha! Thanks for fixing the weather widget. One good thing about my son in BC is that he hasn't had to deal with the heat wave we've had in AZ. We've had straight 100+ degree days here since 7/14. yesterday finally was only 98. So knowing the weather in GL makes me feel better for him.
