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 11/20/2012

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".

Comment by Lorie-Lee ship 3 div 20 on October 19, 2012 at 8:16pm: Just heard from my son that he is on Ship 3 division 20 anyone else??

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 19, 2012 at 7:51pm: It's great to see some letters finally coming in. The group that is one week ahead of you had lots of letters this week and their first "real" phone calls. Definitely some happy people in that group and it should be your turn later next week. Hang in there time are getting better :-)

Comment by TMM Ship03Div20(was godsgirltmm) on October 19, 2012 at 7:19pm: I got a letter today! :D So happy to finally hear something about how she is doing! Sounds like she is doing really good. Now I can't wait until next week to hear more! She says maybe a phone call in the next week or so - keeping the phone glued to me and on full volume. LOL!
