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 Mom of a Corpsman on November 29, 2011 at 10:50pm: I am A proud mom of U.S NAVY SAILOR !!!!!!! Congrats to all the other new sailors and their familes!

Comment by diannep on November 29, 2011 at 8:35pm: Oh, also allow time for their long shower ALONE! They have taken SHORT showers with many other SRs for a long time! My son couldn't wait to get back to the room after we had lunch and I think he was in there for like 20 minutes! Another luxury of freedom!

Comment by diannep on November 29, 2011 at 8:33pm: Janis: As long as he is walking around barefoot in the room and nowhere else, he is good! HA! They can actually swim in the hotel pool if they bring their Navy issued swimsuit, so I guess he could be barefoot then! Also, with the temps now, this would only be possible if the pool is indoors---brrrrrr!
