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

My Sailor get to come home for Christmas this friday until Jan. 2nd. I am so happy because he will be home for my birthday... Oh yes Oh yes...

Comment by ProudNavyMom on December 8, 2011 at 11:31pm: FTLW - the actual link for the scarfs we got doesn't work any more. I don't know what happened.... I guess they don't sell them anymore. Someone else on our facebook group found a similar scarf on another site.http://www.armedforcesgear.com/store/cat/NV-ACC/COLD/Navy+Accesorie...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 8, 2011 at 9:59am: This video is so cute. Not American Sailors but Sailors just the same. They went out on what was supposed to be a 7 day deployment and got rerouted and now this British Sailors have been gone for 7 months but are now coming home for Christmas. Enjoy!!!

Ok, so they have a small "M" on it for "Michigan" but that can probably be hidden! But they are $29! UGH!

Comment by DisneyDebi (02/903) on December 6, 2011 at 6:56pm: WOW - no more scarves? :(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 6, 2011 at 4:56pm: http://www.navyonline.com/ePOS?store=460&item_number=605402&...

AUGH...I found the link for your scarves...they are no longer available! Gee...I wonder why?! LOL

Comment by Pentwater98 on December 6, 2011 at 4:08pm: diannep - He was going to show his instructor his flight plan he printed out. I am hoping he or she will help or tell him where to go to get them cheaper. If not that is fine I will pay whatever it takes to get him home..
