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."

Let's help those who are coming to PIR by themselves find each other so that no one is traveling alone from the airport to Great Lakes.

Thanks Sobe. I thought I read that the previous weeks PIR was posted. I'll have to try to buy the video at PIR. I like your new picture. I hope to meet you in a few days!

roz1206 - on the tabs above, click videos. There are lots of video's there, but I have yet to find one with all of PIR on it, mainly only the flags coming in. But I believe there are more there you will discover. I don't think the Navy posts the footage of PIR's because they sell those at PIR, so I think video's here on this site are N4M members home videos.

Mackenzie's Mom - I used the link you sent and I found pictures, but no video. Is there video of PIR?

Robs Mom - Welcome, we are a crazy group - and as we have learned today, we are all closet N4M stalkers!!! You didn't join too late, we have decided to keep this group going for a while afterwards with our next horror stories of A-school. Can anyone tell I had two glasses of wine at the BBQ today?? No? Good!
Denise - How much do I owe you?? I can't believe you thought this was me in the picture with my son? Yeah right, I wish I looked that young! I owe you $5 for that compliment (check is in the mail). lol... my new profile picture is of Brandon and his girlfriend Mariah - who I believe will be my future daughter in law. She is coming to PIR with us and she is soooo excited. She is also coming to my house tomorrow and giving me a massage too! If my son ever leaves her, I'm keeping Mariah!
I will see if I can find a picture of me to post - as it would help us to locate each other.
My candle is glowing and prayers are flowing for the divisions doing BS-21 right now.
MacKenzie's Mom - I arrive really late on Thursday, so I already made a name tag from this site, but thanks in advance!

Def. going to write those down. Oh and Lizzie, I love the color theme you are going for! Very Cute!
Excited to meet everyone and I hope that everyone has a safe trip!

I guess I am one those dork stalkers to becasue I keep logging on just to see what everyone else is doing or to hear what you have all heard from our Sailors. I am so emotional today and coming on here truly helps me. I was really hoping for a phone call today. Come on Friday!

Hi RobsMom!! My son Patrick is ship 7, div 202, too!!! Sounds like things are pretty quiet now. I know that they are so relieved to have Battlestations out of the way.
