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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 13, 2012 at 10:58pm: Diz - You are one of the lucky ones that got an early letter. I am seeing it almost every PIR group now. Congrats!

Comment by Mauz on October 13, 2012 at 9:59pm: I'm new at this but my husband is in ship 14 div. 026. And waiting for his letter. Hopefully one comes next week.

Comment by Diz1lizardGabesMa on October 13, 2012 at 9:59pm: SHIP 02, DIV. 903; PIR 11/30/2012 SO EXCITED!! Finally received 2 letters, one form, second actual letter from son telling me all is good and food is good and for me not to worry. And that he just really wants to hear from me. This is good since t has been quite difficult for me, not him. There is always so much i want to say to him and now I have learned I just need to love him and encourage him and let him make his way. Never had these issues with my 2 oldest. He is an amazing young man and dares to do what I could never.
