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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 23, 2011 at 2:08pm: Woops...thanks dianne! Here is a picture of Sarge. I really recommend his M&G. Wish he had it when I went through!

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2011 at 1:23pm: J BirdsMom: I bumped the Div 10 discussion above to the top of the list...it may have gone down a few by the time you get back on here, but it's there!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2011 at 10:54am: winhawk, have a safe trip and enjoy your holiday. Thanks for the tip about the book. I can't wait to read it.

Comment by Sara Ship 07 Div 012 on November 23, 2011 at 10:53am: Safe travels for everyone traveling today for the holiday. Have a wonderful day and hope everyone is getting phone calls from their SR's for battlestations and Thanksgiving.

Comment by jam's mom (Patty) on November 23, 2011 at 10:42am: @ J Birds mom yes scroll up you"ll see it.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 23, 2011 at 10:15am: I hope everyone has a great day. I bet this site will be a little quiet. I know I will be cooking most of the day. Making Pecan Pralines, fudge, and Pumpkin Pie that is as soon as I finish up some ribbon orders and get them in the mail :-D

FYI, if you go to the post office to mail your letters to your Sailor you may want to check their holiday hours. Our local post office closes at 2pm today.

Have a great day Navy Family!!!

Comment by J Birds mom (ship 07 div010) on November 23, 2011 at 10:01am: Is there a group for PIR 12/02/11 ship 07 div 010?

Comment by Maja/Ship 09 Div 16 on November 23, 2011 at 9:38am: Good Morning, Sisters. Doing better today. Started doing a little packing for PIR last night, just toiletries, but it was a start and felt really good. Will be having Thanksgiving Dinner here tomorrow afternoon. My 2 sisters and my niece are volunteering at the "Rescue Mission" for 4 hrs tomorrow morning. I will be home cooking turkey and tending to our Mom who has dementia. Not a "Black Friday" chick. Rather than exchanging gifts, our family takes the $$ we would have spent on each other and adopts a family in need.

To all of you who will be traveling this holiday weekend, please be safe. Again, I'll ask the Lord to send guardian angels to watch over you, protect you, and keep you safe. For those of you who will be spending the holiday with your SR, HOO YAH! So happy for you!

Holiday Blessings to each and everyone of you and your families.

Hugs and love to you all!

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2011 at 8:32am: Pentwater: Courtyard is very close to Sundance Saloon. So trip will be fast! Call Sarge or text him:

847-212-0246

He is good about getting back to you! Today may be a busy one for him because of the 11/23 PIR, so if he doesn't get right back with you, that is why. But he will get back with you.
