OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 11/09/2012!

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 Anndrya (Ship-13 div-366) on October 25, 2012 at 12:58am: So happy I got my letters a day earlier than usual! :) 2 weeks to go! I hope it flys!

Comment by Cindi (Ship 11 Div 363) on October 25, 2012 at 12:03am: I want to dress up I'm just worried its going to be cool. I'm like you Jenny I think the days are slowing down. But we will get there.

Comment by Jenny0515 on October 24, 2012 at 11:55pm: I can't believe it's been so fast....actually, I can. Haha, it almost seems like the days now are getting longer and slower as I count down. Anyway, haven't gotten a call or letter....hopefully I'll know the password and everything by PIR. I was just about to ask Cindi's exact question! I have been searching days and days for an outfit and am still struggling. Maybe dress and tights? Hmmm.

Comment by KwajMom on October 24, 2012 at 11:41pm: Jenny M'smom - There has been no change in policy. The RTC has never guaranteed any greater than the 4 on each list for any PIR, though they try to accommodate as many guests as possible. The announcement was just a heads up that the 11/30 PIR is too large to permit extra guests. Dismiss the chatter as there has not been any announcement for any other upcoming event.

Comment by Cindi (Ship 11 Div 363) on October 24, 2012 at 11:38pm: What are you all wearing? Jeans or Dress pants.

Comment by Jenny M'smom on October 24, 2012 at 9:52pm: A question for the veterans- on the RTC facebook page they posted tonight that extras will not be allowed for the 11/30 PIR because there are 15 divisions graduating. Why would they post this if they had changed policy and extras are no longer allowed in for any PIRs according to discussions earlier this week. Does that mean extras should come for 11/9 PIR? I'm rather confused and some family members are having a hard time finalizing plans. Any input would be great. Thanks.

Comment by MONKEYSMOMSHIP4 (ship4 div 823) on October 24, 2012 at 9:15pm: Our SR said they won a All Star flag...What does this mean....

Comment by ochaos on October 24, 2012 at 9:14pm: They tend to stop writing about 10 days out from PIR and you should also stop writing especially if you know they will be going somewhere else for school. Make sure you read the "proper behavior" info as you would not want to get your SR in trouble,

Enjoy PIR it is a blast!

Comment by ProudNavyMom (Ship 14 Div 367) on October 24, 2012 at 7:06pm: glad my SR went in unattached as far as I know. Less to worry about.

Comment by Sundown on October 24, 2012 at 6:58pm: debzz3 Sorry but your not allowed to mention names. Please delete them so you don't get bin trouble.
