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 10/26/2012!

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 missingmygiant on October 22, 2012 at 9:45pm: Just wanted to say that its truly amazing to read and feel all the support of one another on this site. Thank you to those who post info about the whole division passing, to help ease the minds of those who are still waiting for their comfort. I have a sailor now too and I am so proud and relieved, the love I felt in just that one phone call is enough to keep me going strong for weeks. Hope everyone else feels the support, happiness and gratitude that I do. =)

Comment by fraser mom ship 12 div 347 on October 22, 2012 at 9:40pm: So is it a "FOR SURE" that there will be no extras allowed at PIR?????? As we are within driving distance and after all of readling I did early on, we anticipated that several extras would be allowed>>>>??? Now I've got like 7 extra that were in the process of making plans. Should I have them cancel now???

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2012 at 9:16pm: cjbutler: That is the password you use to get the gate pass for PIR. Remember...put it in ALL CAPS!

Comment by dohnermom on October 22, 2012 at 8:21pm: Ditto to the N4M veterans :)

Comment by butrfliesnstars on October 22, 2012 at 8:11pm: As long as you have the password you don't need the form letter. there is a discussion above with the link to print the gate pass.

Comment by Tasia on October 22, 2012 at 8:03pm: Ok that means one hour ... : ) keeping my fingers cross thanks ladies

Comment by Bryansmom on October 22, 2012 at 7:57pm: Tasia, they don't have to go to bed until 8 so there's still hope

Comment by Tasia on October 22, 2012 at 7:54pm: @JMT That would be awesome if I do get a call tonight. It's such an exciting feeling I can't wait to share with you guys.

Comment by dohnermom on October 22, 2012 at 7:51pm: I got my call to... Yeah! We stayed on the phone till his calling card ran out of minutes. Which by the way was only 17 minutes. So glad we are all proud family members of a 'SAILOR' now.

Comment by JMTMom on October 22, 2012 at 7:51pm: Tasia I thought I saw on here somewhere that it's possible for the call to come pretty late. I think there's still hope :-) Is that so ladies?
