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 sweetden20 on September 12, 2012 at 3:28pm: MY son arrived at GL on 9/5/12 hasn't gotten the form letter yet so don't know the ship/Div. yet.

Comment by texasmomof3 on September 12, 2012 at 1:12pm: My son went 9/5 and is Div 356. I got this info from his recruiter but I haven't received the official form letter yet. I am just assuming his PIR will be 11/02/12.....

Comment by MIdgette Ship 2 DIV 951 on September 12, 2012 at 12:59pm: My daughter left on 9-4-12 so I've been told her PIR date should be 11-2-12. Already started writing letters, but haven't even received her form letter yet. Just getting a head start so she will always have mail to open. What are some of the best things to send them? I've heard pictures are good, but what else?

Comment by ellen0502 on September 12, 2012 at 11:38am: Hello, I am one of the moms on the site that will be helping to answer questions and concerns.

My son went through BC this past spring and stayed in GL for A School (ET). ETs go to school from 3pm to 11pm, the ship they are in is only for those who are in school at night since their "playtime" begins at midnight. MidRats for breakfast, PT and running the track at midnight or a game of ultimate frisbie.

This group will grow as the week goes on so, please introduce yourself and let us know what division your SR is in. You will soon be seeing others with SRs in the same division as yours.
