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 Ajrydson on October 5, 2012 at 5:50pm: to Kryss, My daughter left from Oregon on 9/25. I just received form letter today. It was mailed from Chicago on 10/2 -- 3 days. So depending on where you live yours is probably on the way.

Comment by Mom3(Ship 13-Div 011) on October 5, 2012 at 5:22pm: Hello Everyone! I am worried now that the form letter I received from my son read PIR Nov.23 and everyone is stating Nov.21st. I have a call placed to the recruiter and he said he would do his best to double check. I am so happy to have found this site and love reading all of the information. My son is SHIP 13 DIV 011. missing my baby.

Comment by Julia on October 5, 2012 at 4:18pm: I received my first letter from my son!! It is dated Sept 30th. Still no form letter, I guess I will never see it at this point. I have learned so much reading all of these comments I love this site. Thank you all!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2012 at 3:11pm: Yes, Victoria'smom. The division number is the most important one. There are several divisions in each "ship" so it helps to narrow down where the SR is.
