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 diannep on November 27, 2012 at 9:53am: Good Morning! Now....did 021-024 go last night? I guess we will know in about 6-7 hours! Phones close by!

Comment by sailormom7 on November 27, 2012 at 12:55am: Congratulations to all who have received calls!!!

3 days, 8 hours and 4 minutes-love that countdown :)

Comment by diannep on November 27, 2012 at 12:15am: Those who did BattleStations last night got to hit their racks two hours early tonight...I'm sure there were no complaints! :-)

Comment by diannep on November 26, 2012 at 11:56pm: JackFlash: That is what I missed after my son became a sailor...the letters! Never got another one....back to texting/email/phone calls, so the few letters he sent me are very precious!

Comment by Eryn on November 26, 2012 at 10:52pm: I told my boyfriend that it is kind of exciting getting mail and that even though I am very much looking forward to faster communication that he should write me a letter every now and then and he said he would.

Comment by sjtina on November 26, 2012 at 10:29pm: Congratulations to all the new sailors

Comment by JackFlash on November 26, 2012 at 10:21pm: I sent my last letter today.... kind of sad, in a way. While the letters from him have been few, they are precious. It was nice connecting with my son "the old fashioned way" and now I suppose we will be communicating in more modern ways-- email, text, skype, facetime, phone. Not that any of that is bad-- it's wonderful and what we've been missing, but I have to say it was also nice to see him putting pen to paper. Maybe we'll still do that on occasion.

Comment by TMM Ship03Div20(was godsgirltmm) on November 26, 2012 at 10:19pm: My SAILOR called about 5:15pm. She was very tired but happy. She said she is starting to get sick. I am praying that she feels better so she can enjoy her liberty time this weekend.

Congrats to everyone and their new sailors!!

Comment by ElsieS on November 26, 2012 at 8:30pm: PS He was so tired that when I heard his voice I thought he might not have passed! His voice was low and speech was slow! But he is very happy.

Comment by ElsieS on November 26, 2012 at 8:28pm: 801 has new sailors! Got the call 2 hours ago. They went last night 10pm to this morning 8am. He has been up for 30 hours. My SR was unaware of anyone NOT passing ... so there should be many phone calls coming! He had 25 min to talk. Exhausted. Dianne, I PMd you about another div.
