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 momof3 on October 3, 2012 at 7:32pm: Wow it is so nice to see that countdown clock in the twenties:)

Comment by diannep on October 3, 2012 at 7:17pm: Ok, this group seems to have been kidnapped.....

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 3, 2012 at 9:06am: Good Morning Ladies!

Comment by diannep on October 3, 2012 at 8:13am: turtle: If staying in GL for A School, you will have daytime liberty with them through the weekend, except for any "watch" times. On PIR day, they move over there right after PIR so you won't get them until mid afternoon or so, but will have them until later that night.

For those flying out, you will have PIR Day with them and they probably will fly out the next day. You can visit with them at the airport, but be prepared to go there in the wee hours of the morning to meet up with them since that is when they are bussed there to wait for flights. Your sailor should know airport/flight times by PIR Day.

Comment by turtlesgabba on October 3, 2012 at 2:35am: What is our SR's availability like during the weekend of graduation??

Comment by diannep on October 2, 2012 at 10:53pm: That IS a great idea, Debs!

Hey Betsy!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 2, 2012 at 10:25pm: That is a great idea Deb Thanks!!! :-)

Comment by Debs(ship09,div358) on October 2, 2012 at 10:09pm: Sorry to hear you missed your goodbye call. Maybe the kindergarten class could help you send out little notes to her to go along with any goodies you send her once you get her address.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 2, 2012 at 9:38pm: Hi everyone, I hope you all had a better day than I did. I subbed in Kindergarten today and missed the goodbye call from my Sailor. It is not easy to explain tears to 21 five yr olds. I hope I get an address soon so I can send her some goodies :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 2, 2012 at 12:27pm: Good Afternoon, Diannep, lol. I hope all the ladies are having a good Tuesday.
