OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 10/12/2012

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 Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours 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 to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by Debbie T (Ship 3 Div 337) on August 31, 2012 at 11:53pm: Kellee...AMEN!

Comment by Kellee on August 31, 2012 at 11:50pm: Lisvin - I sent you a friend request =o)

heidemarie & debbiet - I sure hope we get letters tomorrow!!!!

Comment by BP's mom Ship 003 Div 337 on August 31, 2012 at 11:47pm: I just found the questionnaire which will be sent out soon (thanks FTLW for putting the info out for us newbies)...will definitely share my son's answers!! Question for you all - is there anything that should NOT be sent to our SR's in a letter? I googled "Navy Funnies" and found some pix that are funny but one for example has Bill Clinton on a ship asking "So are there any girls on this ship?". Another has a carrier with "F!@# Iraq" spelled out on the landing strip. I know my son would find them funny but I don't want him to get in any trouble...advice please...

Comment by Debbie T (Ship 3 Div 337) on August 31, 2012 at 11:42pm: I'm right there with you Heidemarie! Seriously sniveling!

Navywife0514...the weeks will fly by & you'll be together!!

Comment by Proudmama on August 31, 2012 at 11:28pm: Kellee: I already booked my flight SWA. I don't want to post the info online though. Maybe we will be on the same flight. I don't know how to send you a private message.

Comment by navywife0514 (ship 09 div 327) on August 31, 2012 at 11:19pm: I'm laying here in bed and he's not here laying beside me... It feels so empty without him... I really wish he was here right now holding me in his arms and hearing him tell me that he loves me. I miss him so much... I really do. :-\

Comment by melray(Ship 04 Div 822) on August 31, 2012 at 11:03pm: No letter yet or call.. I have to say this is the hardest thing I have ever gone thru.. I am missing my son terribly.. I think I have only had 3 tear free days since August 13... Iwish I would just get a call or a letter so I will know first hand that he is ok..Am I the only div 822 that hasn't heard from their son??

Comment by Kellee on August 31, 2012 at 10:59pm: Navywife0514 - she is 6 1/2 ( the 1/2 is important) and she came home from school with a worm in her pocket that she 'rescued' from the playground....yeah. LOL

DebbieT - I grew up in the Bay Area, moved to the Central Valley in '01. Yay...we'll ghet to meet one way or another that weekend for sure (fur shure). My mailcarrier and I have a love/hate relationship right now....poor thing doesn't even know it ;o)

Lisvin - I'm actually looking at SW flights from Sac right now =o)

Comment by BP's mom Ship 003 Div 337 on August 31, 2012 at 10:51pm: Hi everyone...hope this Friday is a reminder that we only have 6 more until we see our loved ones!!! WOO HOO!!!! Same for me as my other (mom) shipmates no letter...hopefully tomorrow. Thanks again for posting all of your questions/comments - reading them keeps me sane knowing I'm not the only one!
