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 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 durrichShip03/Div354 on October 5, 2012 at 8:48am: OMG - I just looked at the calendar....27 days....Yippee... we received a wonderful letter yesterday ...he even put a few smiley faces.... Thanks N4M for being here.

Comment by durrichShip03/Div354 on October 5, 2012 at 8:46am: ccars - Please tell you son thank you from our family for his willingness to serve our country. The saying, 'when God closes a door, he opens a window' came to mind when reading this... Your faith in knowing that His plan is in place is comforting and inspiring.... God Bless you all - and a bright future for your son is on the horizon!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2012 at 8:25am: sheilaMom: Welcome!

There won't be time for some big parties for the sailors as many will only have PIR day with you before heading to A School the next day....or....those moving over to GL A School base will do so right after PIR which takes a few hours. They then would have some liberty with you that day....and daytime liberty through the weekend (they have to be back at night). They may miss some liberty time for "watches."

But I'm sure each family will be celebrating big time with their new sailors!

Comment by ChrisMom on October 4, 2012 at 11:07pm: ccars,,,praying for you and agree..thank your son for our family for being willing to stand up for us!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 4, 2012 at 10:54pm: Navymom55555, could you please post on your facebook page a link to this page so others can join us here as well? We would really appreciate it and I am sure those who don't use facebook would love to meet them as well :-)

Comment by sheila.Momship2,951 on October 4, 2012 at 9:18pm: Hello! My son is Ship 02 Div 951. His graduation date is on Nov 2nd 2012. Is anyone going for their sons? Is anyone planning a big party of some sort for all the sailors? My son will be going to Texas the day after. Is anyone else' son going to Texas also? I would like to talk to some of the parents who are so we can just talk and share about our Sailor. God Bless to our Sailor.

Comment by diannep on October 4, 2012 at 9:02pm: ccars: Blessings to your son and to you as he processes out...and please thank him for his willingness to serve for us!
