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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 19, 2012 at 2:45pm: Hi ladies! I got some news yesterday that I want to share. My son was given his verbal Orders yesterday. He has to get checked out by medical and dental first, then they will give him written Orders. He will be going to the CVN 74 John C. Stennis out of Bremerton, Washington. I was feeling kinda numb yesterday so I didn't get on here. The Stennis is on deployment currently so we don't know any details yet, but we are hoping that he can come home before he leaves

Comment by AngelW (Ship 07 Div 060) on January 19, 2012 at 2:17pm: winterrosebud, yes!! i am staying at Springhill Suites, but i think they are really close to each other. Sarge will surely hook us up :) Send me your email and we can set it up. thank you! btw: how early?

Comment by diannep on January 19, 2012 at 2:16pm: Camo Mom: Not sure what division your son is in, but Gayle's division will be the last to finish training (they go in numerical order.) It is possible that the earlier divisions are on Training Day 5-3 or 5-4. They do BattleStations at the end of week 6. They can start these a week before PIR (again, done in numerical order---800 divisions are random though).

Comment by diannep on January 19, 2012 at 2:13pm: Camo Mom: We can't post BattleStations dates on the page here---a request by RTC. But they can be private messaged on here. So as dates come in, please private message me as I will be maintaining a schedule. I will send it out in a message when I have the dates.

Hey, I was a competitive swimmer too(brother/sister also)! 10 yrs....got as high as the '68 (ok, dating myself here!) Olmpic trials...was young, nervous, and ended up at the ER after a reaction to iron that I had been taking. Was expected to place in the top 3 of my event (800 free) but of course...didn't...16th! UGH! Believe me, I know about the appetites of competitive swimmers. My non-swimming friends couldn't believe how much I could eat...until my weight caught up with me and I couldn't eat like that anymore. HA!

Comment by winterrosebud (Ship 12 Div 053) on January 19, 2012 at 1:50pm: Anyone staying at the Navy lodge and planning on meeting their SR at the airport early Saturday morning and using Sarge's taxi? If so i would love to split the cost.

Comment by G-Mom on January 19, 2012 at 1:04pm: Mr SR has said the food all along has been pretty good with a varied selection. I told him to think about what he wants to do. Chill? Get out and about?

I guess it's mostly going to depend on how much time he gets.

Today is 5-2 for them. New adventures await!

Comment by Navy Mom ship 03-055 on January 19, 2012 at 12:38pm: My SR said the first stop will be Taco Bell and maybe Italian for dinner no other ideas yet. He grew up near the Chicagoland area so he has seen the sights but it's been a few years.

It won't be long now. No letters yesterday hoping for some today.

Comment by djmama(02/911) on January 19, 2012 at 12:32pm: HUNGRY?? All I have heard is good, nutritious chow. Probably not enough time to eat his fill, or HUNGRY for some of the stuff he's used to eating that NAVY does not serve. Like Pizza, Fried Chicken and Pie & Ice Cream !! I so wish someone would force me to not eat sugar....I could use the discipline..

Comment by AngelW (Ship 07 Div 060) on January 19, 2012 at 12:12pm: you are funny Camo-Mom!! I am bring my SR some shorts and a tshirt for the hotel as well, although he told me that he does not want to hang out at the hotel, he wants to see Chicago, go figure...
