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 12/16/11!

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 diannep on December 1, 2011 at 9:18am: Good Morning everyone! Have a wonderful day. Still hoping that you all get some more Battlestations dates soon from your SRs. Please private message them to me. I need 017/018 and 905. Thinking that BattleStations will only be over 2 nights for this smaller PIR group. I will send out to all when I have a complete schedule.

Sigh....yes, FTLW....I know that when I had a stomach bug, chocolate (or any type of food) was very ick! Well, you may just have to SWEAT that stuff out of you....call that trainer! That is my therapy...as long as there is no fever. Hoping that each day, you feel a bit better.

Today is my baby girls birthday :-) 22 years old and I hope she has a fantastic birthday. I wish I could be with her today but I can't so I am going to send her a huge birthday cake and have it delivered to her at work. I am sure everyone in her squadron will love it :-)
