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 Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on December 20, 2011 at 9:34pm: @Lala - We're planning to celebrate Christmas once we move after his PIR. So I'm not even shopping for christmas this season. I guess I'll get to hit the after Christmas sales. lol :)

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on December 20, 2011 at 7:50pm: Kim 756....I like your thinking. Feb 3 is Christmas for us!

AmyD...I was hoping you would get a letter. Hang in there! It will come.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 20, 2011 at 7:48pm: I know what you mean navymom88, I had two people order Navy Themed stockings today and etched glass anchor ornaments and I sent them a message and said you know the chance of this getting there before Christmas is not very good and they bot said they would be celebrating Christmas late with their Sailors so it will arrive in plenty of time. There must be a lot of that happening to a lot of families.

Comment by Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on December 20, 2011 at 12:41pm: Morning/Afternoon. Hope everyone is doing well. <3

Comment by diannep on December 20, 2011 at 9:18am: Yep, I agree with FTLW. They hang out at the USO where they are well taken care of...until time to go to the gate. Remember, you meet them there at the USO (or in front of security if at Midway, as FTLW said)...and they get a gate pass for you from airlines (you have to be there with them with your ID). Then you get extra time at the gate with them. Besides having the phone card, other family members already there are wonderful in lending the sailors their cellphones to call you. Don't worry...you will get there!

Off to pick up my sailor at the airport. Have a good day, all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 20, 2011 at 2:00am: Most arrive at the airport around 1-2 AM. Mine went to Midway at 1 AM. I met him at the airport at that time because his flight was at 5:45 AM. (They may not have flight info until PIR day...if before then YAY!)

BUT if your recruit leaves later in the day and you don't want to get there at o' dark-thirty...arrange a time with them and make sure they have a working phone card to call you. I believe they have them wait at the USO so you may be able to have them paged. I had mine write down his flight info on a 3x5 card for me.

The USO at Midway is past security...so you will definitely have to arrrange something. At O'Hare it is BEFORE security.

Comment by navymom88 (02/Div911) on December 20, 2011 at 12:01am: Kim...yes christmas is feb 3 this year ..lol holiday so strange without him...first time in 20yrs without him:-( I was suppose to go to NY city Jan 3 but friend in hospital and now I don't even have that to look forward to....so 2/3 can't come quick enough for me

Comment by AmyD on December 19, 2011 at 11:58pm: Today iwas my SR's birthday. Sigh... Wonder how he's doing, no letter yet. :( Diannep how will the SR's know when we arrive at the airport if they are already at the gate?

Comment by Alicia(12/053 - AO)♥ on December 19, 2011 at 11:12pm: Kim756 you got that right!! Christmas has been moved to February 3rd!!

Comment by KIM756 on December 19, 2011 at 10:22pm: What are you guys talking about, Christmas in a week? Didn't anybody tell you Christmas was changed to Feb. 3rd. :) lol :)
