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 GFTatter on October 15, 2012 at 12:19am: I had a recruiter confirm my guess that dress whites are the summer uniform and dress blues are the winter. We are officially winter now.

My next question is about mail... I write every second or third day. In her Oct 7 letter she still did not know my count for PIR. I had put it in 3 letters! She too is missing mail. Will they Eventually get the mail? Will it follow them to A school? My daughter's A school is only 2 weeks and also in GL I was thinking I would write until the 20th so she would have them all by the time she PIRs.But maybe I'm way off base. Advice? Thanks very much for your help everyone :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 14, 2012 at 11:11pm: I am pretty sure Missingmygiant is a Navy girlfriend and we are so glad to have her here with us. We are not just Navy Moms :-) Hope you are having a better day Missingmygiant :-)

Comment by dohnermom on October 14, 2012 at 8:38pm: Hello and Good Night Everyone... Wow! 11 Days 12 Hours! Can't believe we have almost made it thru this. Thumbs up to Class of PIR 10/26/12 ;)

Comment by fraser mom ship 12 div 347 on October 14, 2012 at 8:31pm: Yeah! I found my daughters bunkmate's mom! Happy day!

Comment by Bryansmom on October 14, 2012 at 4:40pm: Hello Ladies, my son Bryan's bunk mate is Andy V from Texas. Is Andy's mom here?

Comment by GFTatter on October 14, 2012 at 2:04pm: Missingmygiant maybe he will get time to come home over the holidays?

We work so hard to keep our emotions in check and then a call or letter brings it all to the surface again. It gets better though. Be patient. Our kids grow from this and we do too! The interesting thing is to watch our SRs with their old friends when they come back to visit. Our kids have changed while the friends haven't. That can be a surprise for our kids.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 14, 2012 at 10:57am: Thanks for helping others find me and my ribbons :-) I appreciate all of you and look forward to making your ribbons. I have already started mailing them for this group :-)

Missingmygiant, I know you want to be there but you can only do what you can do. I am sure he will understand if you can't make it. And he should be able to talk to you a lot on the phone when he is with the person who is able to come. Try not to beat yourself up over it. If family and friends are willing to help you get there then let them and if not start planning and saving for a trip to visit in A-school. Life after boot camp will be much better. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Totopogo (Son is a GM) on October 14, 2012 at 9:18am: Missingmygiant-I can only imagine how you are feeling. Whatever the situation is, I truly hope that something happens that allows you to attend. If all else fails, the reward of his graduating is that at least you will be able to speak to him much more often than in bootcamp. My thoughts are with you.

Comment by diannep on October 14, 2012 at 8:15am: missingmygiant: Bootcamp is a very emotional....for them and for us on here. Ups and downs...but you are almost there and will have a sailor! Hang in there!

Good Morning All!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 13, 2012 at 11:53pm: missingmygiant - (sigh) it's just such an emotional thing isn't it! Oh, I so feel for you and your SR! BIG HUGS!
