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 diannep on October 18, 2012 at 1:10pm: More prayers for Brett....worse than we thought...most of colon removed...stomach/liver damaged. Back in surgery now to do a femoral bypass --- or else he may not have the use of his right leg. Awful...but he is amazing the doctors...he should have been dead. They caught the guy who did this today...YAH to the Jacksonville Police Dept! Thanks, Ladies!

Here is a pik of Brett with his sister/baby in better days!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 18, 2012 at 12:16pm: I am going to virginia Beach soon and would love to hear from anyone who lives in that area. I am hoping to be able to meet several moms/wives etc from that area and either have a small party or at least all go out to dinner together. If you live in the VA Beach/Norfolk area or close enough to drive and want to join us please send me a friend request or message. I love meeting other Navy Families :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 18, 2012 at 10:10am: Praying for Brett and his family, Dianne.

Good Morning Everyone!

Comment by debnchris on October 18, 2012 at 9:58am: @pinkpuddles thanks for the updates. It is so nice to hear It keeps me hopeful..I do not know what I am going to do when I get that first letter.

@ diannep Thanks for the update of Brett. I am praying for him.

Comment by pinkpuddles on October 18, 2012 at 9:48am: Some how my son has been able to get two letters out the door, one to me and another to his best friend from High School. She intantgramed the envelope that is how I found out she got a letter from my high school son! Anyway, he says all is good Ship13 Div 15. I am hoping to get a letter from him next week, but I keep writing everyday!

Comment by pinkpuddles on October 18, 2012 at 9:45am: Praying for Brett and his family. Please keep us updated. He has a lot to fight for, his wife, unborn child and his 1 1/2 year old. I will ask my prayer group tonight to pray for him as well.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 18, 2012 at 8:46am: many many prayers for Brett and his young family <3

Comment by Pattynfun on October 18, 2012 at 8:35am: Praying and will contune to pray that God will make Brett well, Amen!!

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on October 18, 2012 at 8:21am: Thanks for the update on Brett....continued prayers...

Comment by diannep on October 18, 2012 at 8:11am: Update on Brett: Surgery finished around 1 a.m. Bullet went under ribcage and hit aorta...sigh...massive bleeding...transfusion...next 8 hours (from now) are critical for him to survive. Dr said had he been older and not in such great shape (personal trainer in addition to Navy job), he would have died. His grandparents have not been told about this...grandfather has been in a very bad way...hospital for weeks...so they are hoping to be able to tell them "good news" when they make them aware of this.

I told his mom that I asked 7 N4Moms groups to pray for him...she is so very grateful. Thanks so much ladies!

Good Morning!
