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."

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on November 2, 2010 at 10:49am: does anyone know if we can download or copy these songs to a cd?Just something I would like to listen to in my car.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 2, 2010 at 10:39am: Mary, you did a great job on the page. It looks awesome!

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 2, 2010 at 10:07am: I AM taking a big leap of faith and saying I'm in this group cause I am only 2 divisions higher than what is grad. on the 17th.. so I have god faith that I will be there on the 22nd since my husbands 8th week mark is the 24th.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 2, 2010 at 9:58am: Thanks for inviting me to join your group. I will tell you a little about me: I have a daughter who is a sailor in c-school for AO. We drove 16 hours to PIR, went to the Meet & Greet at the Ramada, stayed at the Navy Lodge, and our sailor had her wisdom teeth pulled, was in the 900 div, was in the choir, was a stick, and was a grad and go on a chartered flight. My son-in-law is also a sailor going to A-school in Pensacola within the next week. His PIR was last Friday but he did not get to participate in the ceremony. His sister was killed in a car wreck and he came home to be with his family right after the capping ceremony. I tell you all these things because we have had a lot of different experiences in our journey so far. If you have any questions at all please feel free to send me a friend request and I will do my best to help you. You will also probably hear my name a lot, especially if you hang out in earlier PIR groups. I am the person who makes ribbons to wear to PIR and/or Meet and Greet. They are a great way to recognize other N4M members and to show your pride for your sailor. I will post some pics so if anyone is looking for samples of what the ribbons look like they can always go to the next to the last page in your group. They ribbons are an average of about 5 inches tall, have your SR's name and div # and if they are in band or choir they will also have a music note, if they have a sibling or spouse etc in the military I can add a flag to the ribbon. Each ribbon is hand made by me. If you have any questions at all please send me a friend request. Thanks, and Welcome to N4M's you will love this site and be so happy you found it.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on November 2, 2010 at 9:46am: This is a really nice job. Wow! Thanks!

Are we going to do the pick scarf thing? So we can find each other at PIR!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 2, 2010 at 7:04am: Nice job! The 12/22 site looks great! :-)

Comment by Kim of Virginia on November 2, 2010 at 6:56am: Ladies, you have done a wonderful job. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to assist. Kim

Comment by Nancy on November 2, 2010 at 1:15am: Hi Mary-my son is in the same div as your husband. Did you get a letter saying the graduation is on the 22nd, or are you like me and kind of in limbo for the time being?

Comment by Lynne on November 2, 2010 at 12:08am: Hi all, wow I remember when I started my PIR group, the anticipation, the fear, the excitement. Jessica and Dianne are great you will come to love them. You might see a bit more of me in the future. I was asked to add some questionaires I wrote. Send them as soon as you get the address for your recruit. Have fun and don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask them over and over again. Remember the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

We are headed to PIR on Friday and I am so excited I am beside myself. You will be so amazed at the changes you will discover in your recruits. It will noticeable when you get your form letter. I won't tell you what to look for. Our meet and greet is on Thursday evening and my hope and prayer for you is that you will be as close as we have become. I am proud to call each person in my PIR group part of my Navy family.
