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."

Update. just got a letter. He DID pass the run on Friday with a time of 12:05. THANK YOU GOD. Was already able to make up the fire fighting class that he missed during the MRI on thursday. Said the MRI went well and he should know the results by yesterday. Still praying all is o.k. there. They had the last academic test yesterday.
Thank you all for your prayers, and continued prayers.

KSCathy: Ok, real briefly, Code of Conduct...you can hug your sailor inside the PIR Hall....but once outside on the base, you can only take your sailor's left arm to walk (right left free to salute). PDA is frowned on...well, actually...not tolerated...outside of the PIR Hall...don't worry, your sailor will be well warned about this...
Remember, NO PICTURES taken on base....that is only allowed inside PIR Hall. We got a "warning" right before we snapped a picture...wheeew! I forgot and my older son was quite angry at me for saying, "Get a picture of that division marching." DUH!
Also, ladies,you will be hustled out of the PIR Hall after about 10 minutes are so...so get your pictures quickly!

Andysmom- You are only in the entrance, check in for a few moments. I did not see anyone sent away but I was there around 7, two hours ahead. It was a great time to get there as you pretty well could pick your seat. There were some empty bleachers when it began.

Hey, Can anyone tell me where the Code of Conduct is again. I want to make sure I DO NOT DO SOMETHING AGAINST THE RULES!!! Is it what is in that form letter sent to us at the beginning. If so I think I am okay. Sorry we will not be at the Meet and Greet. Headed out tomorrow. Drive, fly, or rollerskate safely everyone. :)))))) We will be the ones with the duct tape hats. WE WILL NOT BLOCK ANYONE"S VIEW!!!

To 11/5/10 PIR Group:
Just wanted to say thank you. While I was not very active on the site, I read it every day!
Yesterday, I told my husband, I never needed to call the recruiter, because you were all so good in providing information.
Lynne - Special thanks to you for all the extra time you put in to administering the site.
Cheers to the group and will see you at PIR on Friday!
~~~Josie
