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 ProudNavyMom on January 1, 2012 at 10:49pm: Sara Ship 07 Div 012 - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I've not been on here for a few weeks and just saw your post. My prayers are with you and your family.

Comment by Pentwater98 on January 1, 2012 at 9:19am: Maja.. I feel the same way.. My Sailor heads back to Groton, CT tomorrow.. Today is my birthday and our last day with him for probably a year so I am going to make sure I enjoy every second..

Comment by Maja/Ship 09 Div 16 on December 31, 2011 at 9:31pm: It's New Year's Eve and my sailor flew out the door on her way to dinner/partying with friends. I'm at home doing her laundry so she can finish packing. She returns to her base on January 2. Just when things begin to feel normal...my world gets turn upside down again. Doesn't know when she might have a chance to take leave again. "A" school will keep her busy. Plus, the fact we can talk, text, email, skype etc should make things more bearable.

Comment by JAsmom on December 23, 2011 at 12:42pm: Thank you to everyone in this group for sharing your journey with your Sailor with me. You have been a gift to me since October. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Comment by Pentwater98 on December 23, 2011 at 7:41am: To My Navy Family... I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 22, 2011 at 5:29pm: I'll be leaving you now also...not going to post my "whole thing" (can't remember if I already did...sorry) as you all are doing great...but I caught it on some past PIR groups...please remember that OPSEC and N4M Community Guidelines always stand. Thank you all!

God Bless you and your families! Merry Christmas and Blessed futures for your Sailors careers!

Comment by Pentwater98 on December 17, 2011 at 8:35am: Sara... I am so sorry I didn't mention anything about the loss of your father in-law.. Your family will be in my prayers... What a mixed bag of emotions you are going through right now... Just know I am here for you...

Comment by Sara Ship 07 Div 012 on December 16, 2011 at 1:27pm: I know what you mean. I worked most of the day yesterday before my son's flight got in. We texted and talked on the phone quite a bit while he was waiting on flights, so it went a little faster than it would have if we hadn't been.

Comment by Pentwater98 on December 16, 2011 at 7:27am: Sara I am so excited.. I am one very happy Navy Mom... My son will be home in 7 hours... It is going to be so hard to go to work for 4 hours this morning before my husband and I go get him...

Comment by Sara Ship 07 Div 012 on December 15, 2011 at 5:06pm: My son will be home in less than 2 hours. I haven't seen him since October 4th. I am so excited even if it is a sad occasion that he is coming home for!
