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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 26, 2012 at 9:13am: Good morning everyone, So my Sailors ship came home yesterday YAY!!! I am of course in VA visiting her and so happy to see her but showered her with hugs instead of licks and tail wagging she received from her babies lol. This summer our Sailor came to FL to meet us for vacation and we were were all greeted with Tropical storm Debby. And now I am in VA to welcome my Sailor home and the weather channel is calling for what could be "The perfect storm." So depending on where this storm decides to go I may have to go home to NC a day early. I also have a daughter in college at UNC Wilmington so we have that concern as well. And what is waiting for me at home? The possibility of a snow storm :-0 Maybe I should change my name from Lala the Ribbon Queen to Lala the storm chaser lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope you are not in the path of this "perfect storm"

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2012 at 8:01am: Ok, so thinking that I'm a Sailor calls will come in this afternoon from 355/356? Phones handy...just in case! :-)

UPDATE on EXTRA GUESTS for PIR

While Extra guests were never a guarantee...RTC had information in place that allowed for the possibility of additional guests entering PIR. Because of this information we have always seen extra guests make it into PIR when there was seating available.

Sadly, yes, this has now changed.

I have made a Forum Discussion for the N 4M's site that shows the old info and the new info. Here is the direct link showing the chanegs:

EXTRA GUESTS - Will NO LONGER BE ALLOWED into the GRADUATION (PIR) ...

Comment by diannep on October 25, 2012 at 8:30am: Good Morning!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 25, 2012 at 8:07am: Good morning everyone, I will be away most of the day but I will check back in this afternoon, I hope everyone has a wonderful day :-)

Congrats to all the new Sailors :-)
