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 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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 31, 2012 at 6:47pm: This is such a busy group, took me 30 min to catch up lol. So happy to see some getting letters and even a few calls.

Dany thanks so much for sharing, that was very special.

Ms Wanda, you are one tuff mom. It is amazing what we can do when we have to :-)

Awesome pic Kellee, I bet they are super close.

And proudmona, love the letter!!!

Comment by lsmith32 Navy Nuke Mom on August 31, 2012 at 6:46pm: Is there anyone else here that has a kid in Ship 11 Div 335? There is me and 2 others that are my friends; neither of us have heard anything. Only the form letter and the box. We are getting very anxious.

Comment by Kathyc on August 31, 2012 at 6:25pm: Got my first letter!! He sounds good, sounds busy, time goes by fast....I still can detect his humor though....I am relieved and thankful, can't wait to see him!

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on August 31, 2012 at 5:43pm: Quick question for my Navy family...... when our SR's travel after graduation by plane to A school or home on leave do they use their Military ID's for ID or their driver Lic?

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 5:01pm: LoriM; When they first arrive at GL, they are yelled at, shuffled around, and actually are kept up about 40 hours. It is hard---not surprised that some get sick! Or....maybe she just ate some bad food at the airport! :-)

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 5:00pm: Ladies, just another reminder that when sharing names of those who may know your SR, we can't post last names on here. You can use initials and hometowns if you want, and ask that N4Moms lady to private message you. Last names are forbidden on N4Moms for security reasons!

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on August 31, 2012 at 4:57pm: I wonder why she puked on her. Poor thing. I hope it wasn't because she was getting yelled at. LOL

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 4:57pm: Melissa: All spec ops rates are in the 800 group at this time so all are combined.

Thanks for commenting, marimom! Don't be nervous...post what's on your mind here any time! Hmmmm....on the "daughter being a project" comment....let's just figure that is a GOOD thing! Grooming her for nothing but the best!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 4:55pm: hoppesmom: Yep, nothing like bonding as good friends after having one vomit on the other! Lifetime buds now! :-) Too funny....although I'm sure it was not funny to either at the time!

Comment by floridabeachgirl on August 31, 2012 at 3:33pm: my questionaire is ready to be dropped at the post office. Share your kiddos responses as you get them. This will b e fun!!!
