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".

Comment by GIRLS2MM on October 14, 2012 at 6:47pm: Hey pats mom my nephew is in that division, where are you from would like to stay in touch

Comment by angelking on October 14, 2012 at 6:11pm: Hi all, I got my sons form letter yesterday, he is SHIP-04 DIV-021 & his PIR is Nov 30. HE left Oct 1 for bc & arrived the night of Oct 2. The 3rd was really hard on me, since it was his 19th birthday & the first one we've been apart. I am thrilled for him achieving his dream he has had since he was 13yr & achieving his goal of going into the NUKE program since he was 16yr. We are so excited about going to his PIR & seeing how much he has changed. So VERY VERY proud of him.

Comment by Bears Nana on October 14, 2012 at 4:08pm: Yes diannep i did notice the really neat writing. At first I wondered if someone else wrote it. The i got here ok call, you could also tell it was scripted. Made it easy on him and did not ask any questions. Anxious to get first letter to see the correct address. the form letter address had ship 02, recruiter said the system said ship 04. One of our veteran members posted the address's from the official website and it matched the 04 address except the ship number. I have gone with that. Interesting.This website has made this experience much easier

Comment by Patsmom (SHIP 03 DIV 020) on October 14, 2012 at 2:45pm: Received my son's letter on Friday. He is ship 03 div 020, any other mom's out there with the same?

Comment by JasonsWIFE on October 14, 2012 at 12:07pm: Mine left the 2nd...I got mine on Wed. or Thurs. hopefully you guys get ur letters soon.

Comment by Knittycat10 on October 14, 2012 at 11:49am: Yay Jennifer! I hit that point probably a few days ago. I cried for the first few days, was numb the next few, and now I just feel an overwhelming sense of pride. :)

Comment by Jennifer on October 14, 2012 at 11:39am: Good morning =) I think today I've finally come to terms with what bf is doing, and it seems much easier. I didn't wake up feeling insecure and anxious, instead I woke up feeling happy and proud and looking forward to this new adventure he has created for himself and for the both of us! Hope everyone else is doing well. Almost to the two week mark. Hopefully time will go a little faster now that the initial "shock" is over =)

Comment by velcrokrispy (Ship 12 Div 029) on October 14, 2012 at 10:57am: We got our form letter yesterday. Our SR is ship 12 Div 029 PIR is 11/30. So excited can't wait to get a real letter.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 14, 2012 at 10:35am: Good morning Navy family :)

Comment by proudmomma on October 14, 2012 at 10:25am: Treymom321, Thanks for the info. I didnt even get that much info from my son when he made the "im here" call. He has never been one to offer any information, only when you ask specific questions and then the answers are very short! I sent him stamps, however I dont expect to much writing from him either however he may surprise me! Keep me posted on if you have any contact with your SR.
