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 02/03/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Noemi(Ship 12, DIV 054)Colin<3 on January 3, 2012 at 9:05pm: Yay im so exited I got my hotel, Will be staying at Crossland Economy Studios . 30 days to go :))

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 3, 2012 at 8:27pm: Sorry..."there ARE actually brochures"...!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 3, 2012 at 8:25pm: Lani - That's about "par for the course" as far as the PIR groups go. Take the number of Divisions and add a zero on the end for the number of members we get (give or take a few).
Occasionally, a division won't have anyone on here representing them...on my PIR group we only had two moms represent a division...they didn't form a divisional discussion.
A lot of folks don't know about us. I found this site as a link from the Navy Reserve page...AND my sons recruiter have me a brochure with a magnet (yes there is actually brochures!) But like I said I was already on. In my situation...I was involved in my sons enlistment...those that are not (recruit may not live at home anymore etc.) ...don't get that involvement with the recruiter and then even if they do...some recruiters don't promote us.
There are lots of folks on FB...but we may not advertise ourselves over there...if we do the post is removed immediately.

Comment by Noemi(Ship 12, DIV 054)Colin<3 on January 3, 2012 at 8:20pm: Thanks Angelwitz- But that hotel is a lil to expansive, The rates are $110 per night.

Comment by Lani on January 3, 2012 at 8:12pm: FTLW...is it odd that we have 10 divisions graduating 2/3/12, but there are only 92 members to this group? Is there usually more? My son says there are 80 something SR's in 12/058, but only a few have joined the discussion......just wondering.

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on January 3, 2012 at 8:06pm: @winterrosebud - I love that scarf!! Haven't sewn in a while though so I am afraid I might mess it up if I try that kind of thread!! Bummer on the trivia this week, but theres always next week!

Comment by diannep on January 3, 2012 at 6:17pm: Hmmmm....you really don't think so, Lala? That's only 898 yrs from now...I bet I can make it that long...I'll just eat lots of chocolate! HAAAA!

Comment by winterrosebud (Ship 12 Div 053) on January 3, 2012 at 1:24pm: Ship 12 053 Let's win Tuesday's trivia so we can get a photo of our SR's! Go to RTC facebook page noon central time!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 3, 2012 at 12:27pm: Dianne I know you are still a spring chicken but I don't think you will be here for the Navy moms of 2910 lol..... whatever will they do without us?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 3, 2012 at 11:02am: You know...I need this:
