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 mamacraw on September 2, 2012 at 12:11am: Hi everyone! Just got our letter today. Our daughter is in Ship 9 Div 341 - anyone else out there with a child in that division?

Comment by alexsmom(ship9/div342) on September 1, 2012 at 10:51pm: I got my letter today. anyone in ship 9 division 342?

Comment by ellen0502 on September 1, 2012 at 10:10pm: kprnpn, It is very possible in all the chaos of processing she threw it in the box by mistake. The recruits are being yelled at to hurry up put and put all personal items in the box, they do not tell you to keep your phone cards, wallets etc. While doing this, it is not quiet or peaceful, and if it was in her pocket she may have forgotten about it.

You can send it back to her in with your first letter, there is not a problem sending them to your recruits, and yes she probably should have it.

Comment by kprnpn on September 1, 2012 at 9:57pm: I have a question...any idea why in her box of clothes that were returned there was her cell phone AND her phone card I was instructed to buy for her? Isn't she going to need that to call home?

Comment by kprnpn on September 1, 2012 at 9:48pm: Got the letter today too! My daughter is on SHIP 11, DIV 340.

No personal mail, just had the courage to wash her clothes from the box today!

Can't wait till 19 October 12 !!!!
