OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

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 11/23/2011

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Thanks FTLW....I had planned on only sending make up/concealer for PIR. I just emailed RTC from their official site just to be sure of what I can/can't mail her. Then, I'll prep the package and send it off Friday or Monday to make it in time for PIR.
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 3, 2011 at 1:46am
Ladies - I know they can have light cosmetics for pictures and PIR. I have heaed conflicting stories about straighteners. I do not think you can send shampoo/ conditioner. Lotion either.
If you are on Facebook ask there, also ask your recruits to check with RDC(they are all different ...I know time is short...can you believe it! Time is short!) You can call PAO or email them. Go to RTC website and click "Contact us" tab. Link for RTC is up above.
Sorry that your girls are having skin issues. :(
Comment by Diana(PO3/IT3) on November 3, 2011 at 12:38am
Thanks Kendra. Me, too! Those poor girls.....can't wait for them to have their regular toiletries for that tender skin....
Comment by Ship12 Div 008 Kendra on November 3, 2011 at 12:21am
Megan says they have very limited space but they can have make up for graduation! I am gonna get her a mini straightener... Also she has dermatitis on her feet and she says it's coming back again and wants me to send "lotion" in a small bottle! I'm on it in the morning!
Comment by Diana(PO3/IT3) on November 3, 2011 at 12:10am

Oh goodness.....THREE letters from my boo this week! Yes! 2 came in today. My heart is breaking for her, though. She has always struggled with really bad acne. Well, we got it ALL cleared up with beautiful skin just before she left and now, according to a letter she wrote 2 weeks ago (and forgot to mail, lol) she is "pizza face" again.  It so affects her self esteem. I really need to get her mineral make up and cover up to her for graduation. What do I do? Can I just send it?? She's also struggling with infected sinuses and staying well. It's now very COLD and windy there. Bundle up ladies!

And now for the good news....she is passing her physical tests very well and will graduate as a Seaman!! E-3 due to her college courses. She is jazzed about that and the Capt Cup coming up.  Nov 23 canNOT come soon enough.....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 2, 2011 at 8:57pm
Thanks Tiff, I am so glad you love the ribbons. I know you will wear them with so much pride :-)
Comment by diannep on November 2, 2011 at 8:55pm
They are really cute in their Navy "digis", but just wait until you see them in those sharp looking Navy Dress Blues! 
Comment by AZKmom on November 2, 2011 at 8:17pm
