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 21, 2012 at 12:15am: Prayers from all over the world going out for Brett, That is so amazing :-)

Comment by diannep on October 20, 2012 at 10:33pm: ...Navy personnel went to the hospital today and gave the family members some money to help with their out of pocket expenses (most are there from out of town). They have been wonderful....

Comment by diannep on October 20, 2012 at 10:32pm: Well, not my family member, MJsMom...but my great friend's son....the one who influenced my son to go into the Navy. He is holding his own now...but still heavily sedated with wires/tubes everywhere. They are hoping for no more surgeries.....3 in 48 hours is enough. Thanks so much!

Comment by Navy mom x2 on October 20, 2012 at 8:02pm: still praying for your family

Comment by diannep on October 20, 2012 at 8:58am: Surgery over for Brett after 7.5 hours. He was very stable last night...no news today yet. Besides having his kidney removed last night, not sure yet what else happened. But his fighting spirit is a testament to all of us! The Lord is giving them small victories each day....thanks ladies!

Comment by diannep on October 19, 2012 at 10:02pm: Thanks, FTLW! Still in surgery....since 2:30 today (3rd one in two days). Kidney removed, much more torn up inside than they thought...sigh...lots of prayers please! He is a fighter but has had about 17 hours of surgery so far with the 3 of them...oh my...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 19, 2012 at 6:31pm: diannep - I have been keeping Brett in my prayers...have been reading on here, but unable to really be on the last few days. Just wanted you to know :-)
