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 11/21/2012!

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 mglivelife on October 12, 2012 at 10:49pm: Excited to hear from my fiancé today, He sounded tired and getting very little sleep due to his responisbilities but he says he's doing well... can't wait to see him!

Comment by Kryss on October 12, 2012 at 10:45pm: Tammy - I'm glad you received a letter too. It's such a great feeling to get any news from your SR. He said don't worry about him, he has made many friends. So since they are in the same ship and div they might know each other, which would be great.

Comment by Pudsey26 on October 12, 2012 at 10:41pm: That makes me sad. She is 14/14 as well and still nothing. I'm glad y'all got a letter though. Here's hoping I get one soon.

Comment by Tammy on October 12, 2012 at 10:31pm: Hi Kryss, so glad you received a letter. Thats great!! My son is also ship 14 div 14. I received my letter yesterday. It really made my day. It can be hard not having any way to speak to our SR's, so a letter sure helps to ease the worry.

Comment by Kryss on October 12, 2012 at 10:20pm: I don't post often but I wanted to share that I received my first letter today. (ship 14 div 14) He sound a little homesick but he said that he has made many friends and the food is decent. I hope all you moms, dads, gfs received your letters soon. Wishing you all luck.

Comment by proudnavymom12 on October 12, 2012 at 10:10pm: Have any moms that have sons/daughters in ship 03/div. 018 received any letters yet? I am still looking in the mail box and nothing yet! :(

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 12, 2012 at 9:53pm: Glad you figured it out Pudsey26 and I hope you get a letter very soon.

Great news pinkladybug :-)

Comment by pinkladybug on October 12, 2012 at 9:44pm: Hurray I finally have a letter he is doing good. Said he has the deepest southern accent. Everyone asks him about it. Just so glad to finally have a letter. :)

Comment by Pudsey26 on October 12, 2012 at 6:54pm: So she did send them to her parents. The box and the form letter AND another personal letter. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty torn up about it.
