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."

Got my son's box yesterday and will have his address this coming Tuesday from the recruiter.

Comment by diannep on January 15, 2011 at 11:50am: JakesMom: You may want to add a "photo" into the picture icon on this page. You can google "Navy photos" and save one of them that you like...then put it on your page. Let me know if you would like to do this and need any help~

Comment by diannep on January 15, 2011 at 11:16am: Hi, everyone! Welcome to your very own PIR group! Your adventure will be so much fun...well, emotional too...but we are all on here to help! I am joining Jessica and Lala to help to answer any questions you all may have and help to guide you on your way. We veteran moms try to be on here as much as possible, so please ask if you have questions. Good luck to your recruits!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 15, 2011 at 10:34am: Sometimes you can check with your SR's recruiter. They can look in their computer and actually get an address that will tell what div the recruit is in. You can use that address to write your recruit as well but use the one on the form letter once it comes. The address may be a little different but they will still get to them. The one from the recriter may take a little longer. Their mail is actually held for the first couple weeks but keep writing it will get to them soon. They live for mail call once they start getting it.

Comment by Redfly on January 15, 2011 at 7:30am: My son left for bc on Monday, Jan. 10. I received "my kid in the box" yesterday but still no form letter. I am thinking this is when his PIR will be. This has been one of the worst weeks of my life. I miss my son so much. He is my one and only and I am so lost without him. I also wrote letters and they are ready to go. Just waiting for the address and PIR date..

Comment by frandrea<3 Ship 12.Div 93 on January 15, 2011 at 4:47am: Okay I will definitely do that. I sent his recruiter a text today, but no response. It was after business hours though, so I didn't really expect him to answer (recruiters need their weekends too). I'm just trying to be patient, but I can't sleep AT ALL so I have really lonnnngggg days and lots of time to just sit around and wait. There's a pile of letters that this man needs in his hands, darnit! ;) Thanks for your response!

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 15, 2011 at 4:37am: It has been a struggle. I just received an e-mail from his recruiter that signed him. He was on leave and none of the other guys would give me the address. His recruiter has his address. Just use us saying we have the address.

Comment by frandrea<3 Ship 12.Div 93 on January 15, 2011 at 4:28am: My husband left for BC on the 10th and arrived the 10th, so I think this is going to be the right group for me. I've gone a little nutso asking this, but how do people already have their sailor's address?! I got my box today (let's not EVEN go into how that was...), but no address :( And I've seen that some people got the address with their box and one of my newest friends got her address the day after her fiance shipped! What's the secret?!?!? :)

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 15, 2011 at 3:56am: I finally received my sons Gabe address. He is on Ship 12 Div. 091. and will be graduating with this group. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Comment by nikosmom ( CVN 70, Seaman ) on January 15, 2011 at 3:43am: my son arrived there on Wednesday also, maybe they will be graduating together!
