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 12/02/2011

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by Phillies on October 19, 2011 at 8:16pm: WOO HOO !!!! Today I received a 12 page letter from my daughter!!! She sounds good! She mentioned that someone broke his arm after a week and had to go home. Keep him in your prayers that he will be able to come back and that his spirits stay lifted. Also keep all of our loved ones free from sickness/ injuries!

Comment by Pentwater98 on October 19, 2011 at 5:27pm: Was hoping for that first real letter day. Maybe tomorrow

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 19, 2011 at 2:51pm: On phone...again!LOL Will be home soon to answer!

Comment by diannep on October 19, 2011 at 10:42am: Ditto on FTLW! She is full of info...and works her tail off for N4Moms. She is our newest addition to the team of N4Moms veterans (just since May) working on the PIR sites, and is amazing!

Comment by ProudNavyMom on October 19, 2011 at 10:24am: FTLW - I second what Tank's mom said! You Rock!

Comment by ProudNavyMom on October 19, 2011 at 9:36am: FTLW - I added the PIR 12/02/2011 Meet & Greet to the Events.

Comment by diannep on October 19, 2011 at 8:04am: Yes, CubMom. Please do that.

ProudNavyMom: Letters from your SRs usually start arriving at your houses about 3 weeks after they left. Maybe a few days before.

Good Morning everyone!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 19, 2011 at 7:04am: FTLW- do you ever sleep? lol You are like an elf at Christmas. You come in the middle of the night and leave all these presents of information :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 19, 2011 at 4:24am: Meet and Greet

Hi everyone!

I'd like to invite someone from this group add the Meet N Greet to Events.

All you have to do is click on the date (in this case it would be December 1st for the M&G but you would use 12/02/2011 in the title) on the Calendar on the lower right on this page, it will take you to the events for that day. Click "add" and fill in the boxes.

Then everyone from this group may go there to RSVP for the M & G. ANYONE may attend...the Ramada does this for every PIR group as a courtesy, it is free. Those staying at the Ramada will get a voucher for two free drinks and they have a cash bar. They do not mind if you bring in a water or soft drink with you. The RSVP just helps them get a head count so they know how much food to prepare. But I am sure they make a bit extra!

Here is the info:

Meet N Greet

Thursday December 2, 2011

6-8 pm

Ramada Waukegan

200 N. Green Bay Rd.

847-244-2400

When you get to the description box you may add a personal invitation! You can also add the info in that box again if you like.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 19, 2011 at 2:28am: Tank's Mom - I played with the weather widget some more and found out that when you go to the page it is on and then click "All Locations" after you pick the state, you get more cities to choose from. No Great Lakes still, but there is Gurnee and Waukegan. If you wanted to change it. I also made it 500 x250 and it gave me the "full view", I changed it for the 11/23/2011 group to Gurnee and the full view if you would like to take a look here is the link.
