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 fmsnavymom on October 12, 2012 at 11:17pm: My daughter is also in Ship Division 20!

Comment by TMM Ship03Div20(was godsgirltmm) on October 12, 2012 at 11:15pm: Hi! I'm new here. Just got my daughter's form letter today. She is ship 3 division 20. So far I have only come across a couple of other moms from this division and it looks like they all have daughters?

@Kim, looks like our girls are together! :)

Time to start planning our trip for PIR!

Comment by Yvonne ship12div023 on October 12, 2012 at 9:45pm: In one of the letters I wrote my daughter, I told her the things we wanted to do in Chicago when we are there. But that we could come a day early to do those things if all she wants to do is come back to our hotel room and take a long hot bath, shave her legs, turn on the tv and hang out with us. Since she is going to A school there, I am hoping to have Saturday and Sunday with her.

Comment by Bears Nana on October 12, 2012 at 9:42pm: forgot to tell you we got them on oct 9th

Comment by Bears Nana on October 12, 2012 at 9:42pm: Not sure bellamom2 but my son is spec ops and i got his letter same day i got his box fed ex. letter came by mail.

Comment by Bellamom2 on October 12, 2012 at 9:39pm: Hi ladies! Joined this group because my son was granted a phone call earlier this week to check on my husband after surgery and told us PIR would be 11/30. He got to BC 10/1. I've got the box, but no letter yet! So frustrating..I've heard that Special Ops & band/music/rotc recruit moms get their letters first, is this true?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2012 at 8:55pm: I had one mom discover that her daughter had written a "note" on her tennies!
Some write on the lids of the boxes.
Most will not have any Ship/Div info as the box is packed in those first 48hours of Boot.

Sorry, "and" not and.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2012 at 8:53pm: Jack - Your fellow "detectives" have given you great leads...shoes amd pants pockets.

Congrats on the box. We socal folks get our stuff last.
