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 11/02/2012

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 diannep on October 8, 2012 at 8:23am: TimsDad: SARGE will give you suggestions too (be sure to go to his MeetandGreet)...and I believe one is owned by a friend of his....so if you go there and tell them that "Sarge sent us," who knows what can happen??? :-)

Good Morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 7, 2012 at 9:42pm: Good evening everyone, so sorry I have been MIA so much this weekend. This is fall break for our daughter that is in college. So she is home this weekend and it is the first time we have seen her since dropping her off at UNCW in August. It is good having her home. Not sure how she likes her room now that I turned half of it into a craft room lol :-) At least she still has a bed hehe. She definitely likes being able to find all the craft stuff so easily. Tomorrow we are making decorations for her dorm room door halloween decoration contest. How could she loose with me to help her? lol

We also heard from our Sailor again, she is doing well, working 7 days a week but they did get to watch the GA/SC game last night although she was not happy with the outcome. I sent her a candygram on her ship :-) I can't wait until she gets it, she has no idea :-D

Comment by diannep on October 7, 2012 at 1:49pm: TxNukeMom: Best thing to do is to ask your SR what they want you to bring up there. You can always take things home. The items you mentioned are the most popular....they can't wear the "civies" for a while...about 3 weeks...until they phase up.

It is best if they can fit these into their existing Navy luggage....they will have a seabag and garment bag (uniforms)---both checked luggage, and they will carry a backpack. May be hard for them to handle another bag, unless it is small (they are allowed 2 carryons with most airlines, I believe). Remember, all of these items have to be exchanged at the airport, or after they return from liberty from GL A School base. None are allowed on RTC.

Comment by diannep on October 7, 2012 at 8:10am: Good Morning All!

Comment by DeuceDogMom on October 6, 2012 at 4:36pm: daizygirl72 Hi I am also planning on taking the train to Chicago. Not sure if we are taking it from Virginia...20 hrs. Or driving to my oldest daughters house in Ohio and taking the train from there. Either way it will be a long trip but I can't wait!

Comment by diannep on October 6, 2012 at 2:48pm: momof3: HA! We suggested for her to use initials because her screen name was so long...but very interesting!
