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 Ctownmom (Ship 13, Div 011) on November 16, 2012 at 6:04pm: division 11 got my I'm a sailor call and I found out he is the stick for his division. happy dance in lots of tears see you all at sarges meet and greet

Comment by Maya's MOM/USS Curtis Wilbur on November 16, 2012 at 6:01pm: I got the cal!! Maya's a sailor!!! I can breathe now.

Comment by Julia on November 16, 2012 at 5:49pm: Diannep always helping us!! Thank you! I will be at the airport with open arms!!

Comment by diannep on November 16, 2012 at 5:46pm: Julia> Do not believe that about not meeting them at the airport. It is not a new rule, but seems to 'be told" to some of the sailors in some of the PIR groups---has gone on for a long time---once we even thought it was a security thing at the airport, called, and were told that families are welcome there.

RTC is no longer in charge of your sailors once they have left the base....the USOs at the airports take over, and there are "sailor leaders" in the group. There is no way they can keep families from meeting the sailors at the airport...unless....they are on a charter flight to A School which means no family visits, and we haven't heard of those lately.

So ladies, please plan on being there for your sailors (with ID so that you can get an airlines gate pass to wait at the gate with your sailor).

Here are the USO numbers for both OHare and Midway if you want to confirm that it is ok....:

OHare USO 773-686-7396

Midway USO 773-582-5852

Comment by dannysmom on November 16, 2012 at 5:38pm: got the call, am a sailor mom, yeah, everyone in 009 passed,

Comment by Julia on November 16, 2012 at 5:34pm: Everyone please read. My SR said new rule I can not meet him at airport. You may want to confirm when your SR calls.

Comment by diannep on November 16, 2012 at 5:32pm: "Phones in the Bras" on I'm a Sailor call day -- that is a very common thing! You sure won't miss the call then! :-)

Comment by diannep on November 16, 2012 at 5:29pm: Ok, all of this time, I have been saying 08-012 went last night, Well, DUH....008 isn't in this group---they actually went this past Wed night....HA! Sorry....I meant 09-012 went last night. We now know that at least 009/010 confirmed by Julia's call from her SR in 010 (congrats!)....pretty sure that 011/012 went too. Sorry about that!

Comment by diannep on November 16, 2012 at 5:26pm: bayoukat: The Christmas holiday info will have to come from his A School. Sorry I can't help more on that.....I would hate for you to miss PIR though...if he makes it through! You don't leave until Monday night, right? PAO should know before then if he passed on Monday morning---so hoping that you can get through on Monday.

I don't know why no one is answering at the PAO but assuming that they are snowed under with calls because of changing PIR info in the future PIR groups (especially the Nov 30th group).
