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 November 21, 2011 at 11:51am: Lala - so glad to hear the scouts are Ok and prayers going up for the injured rescue worker. I will check out your page for those covers!!! I have a ipad!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 21, 2011 at 11:41am: Thanks everyone, yes, the scouts were found, they had to use a helicopter to find them. They were all fine and didn't need any medical treatment. The rescue worker who wrecked his 4-wheeler has a broken back. No word yet on his condition so please continue to keep him and his family in your prayers. All the rescue workers are volunteers and do a great job helping out strangers.

I spent most of the day yesterday designing the Navy themed tote/purse and kindle/E-reader covers. They came out really cute. I know several have been asking about these for a couple of weeks and I am posting the pics to my facebook page now so if you want to see them you can look at them there.

I must dash away now lol to get some more ribbons finished and in the mail today.

This should be a good letter week for you guys YAY!!!

Comment by ProudNavyMom on November 21, 2011 at 11:29am: Woo ho!!! I just printed my gate pass for PIR!!!!

Comment by Maja/Ship 09 Div 16 on November 21, 2011 at 10:17am: Thank heaven, the boy scouts are ok. Speaks volumes for the power of prayer. 15 whopping degrees outside...need to go get ready for work but I gotta be honest...not feeling it!

To all my sisters traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, please be safe. Will ask the Lord to send guardian angels to watch over you. I'm a firm believer in guardian angels.

Can't wait to see you at PIR. Happy Holidays and love to you all.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on November 21, 2011 at 10:09am: 10 more days to PIR!!! Woo hoo!!! I can't wait to go see my son and big him the biggest (((((hug)))) ever!!!!

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 9:40am: My2Sailors: The SRs' last names on the letters you are sending out to those not receiving mail should be good enough, I think! Nice of you to do this!

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 9:38am: You all...be sure if you are mailing letters to SRs not getting mail, that you have the name of the SR on there. They will not deliver letters with no SR's name on them. If you don't know names, then send the letters to YOUR SR and ask that he/she pass them out.

Good morning!

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 9:36am: Gate passes should be up today for you all. HOOYAH! Be checking on the RTC website starting later this morning....click on the link up top. Remember, put in form letter password in ALL CAPS. You can print as many as you like (write in the info).

Good Morning!

She is the one that before he left for boot camp sent her a text to please lookout for my mom while I am gone..
