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 11/20/2012

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".

My son is doing well he has been stationed in Norfolk on the USS Albany, he finally got to his boat last week and seems to like those he will be working with so far. He is also getting married in a couple of weeks.

Comment by Debbie on November 30, 2013 at 10:10pm: Wow! One year. Hope all Sailors are doing well!

Comment by ellen0502 on January 28, 2013 at 1:52am: Here are a couple of groups you can join. I see that your sailor is in GL for A School, that is where my son is, although he is now done with school and awaiting orders. I don't know what your sailors rate is, but there is probably a group for that too.

Great Lakes A School Q&A

Moms of "A" school Sailors

Comment by pj024 on January 27, 2013 at 4:37pm: Hello! So I was wondering now that our sailors are in A school, (mine is in Great Lakes) are there any groups here for those of us that still helplessly look for some sort of connection or answers with other moms? ;) I have looked and can't find any.

Comment by amandamomof4 on January 1, 2013 at 1:55am: Happy New Year all <:o)

Comment by SailorsMomShip12Div023 on December 25, 2012 at 3:56pm: Merry Xmas to all. I hope everyone is able to see there Sailor for the holidays.
