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.

Good morning sisters....winter has arrived in the high desert of So Cal as well...blustery winds and frosty breaths - nothing like Great Lakes though....brrrrr.

Ribbons ordered as well! Payment today, LaLa, when I get home from work.... :-)

Going to make some travel adjustments to come in/out of Milwaukee now and stay until Saturday if it works out. Looks like decent flights are still available and SW is having some sales this week........

 

Thanksgiving Dinner: I'd like to firm up within the next week how many participating families and exact numbers so we can tie up the loose ends of dinner planning well before we hit the tarmacs. 27 days 'til arriving @GLs which puts us oh so close to our Sailors!!!!!!!!! But who's counting - ha!

 

Happy phone call/letter day everyone. I'll bet our respective mail people never felt so popular.....

Comment by ABH Mom (Tiffani) on October 26, 2011 at 10:33am
Good morning everyone, hoping everyone gets letters today and those that haven't gotten calls, hopefully you get those calls today.  Thinking winter has already hit Oregon, LOL.  31 degrees this morning. 
Comment by diannep on October 26, 2011 at 10:23am
Good Morning, everyone.  Agreeing with Lala and hoping letters arrive for you all today.

@sis1221- how do we adopt the sailors? Will they have to  request us?
Comment by Ship12 Div 008 (Cheryl -CBs Mom) on October 26, 2011 at 7:12am

I've been somewhat MIA lately...have some stuff to tend too "off site" LOL that is occupying brain space. An issue with another group and a new PIR group starting...so my apologies. My niche is kinda of "info lady"...but I love chatting with you all and responding with you...I miss it...you ladies support me just as much as I support you. Will try to be back in full swing soon...I do read...just can't post as much.

Here's some fun stuff!

Chatty...so glad you got calls! Praying for more!

Ladies  -  I've read that some of the "A" School Sailors will be available for the Adopt-A-Sailor program.  We only have until Friday to fax our requests.
