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.

Well, Angel. If it is cold (likely!), your sailors will have ear muffs on when they march in--- along with their trenchcoats! Maybe not all of them, but some will.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 18, 2012 at 8:27pm: Here is Div 059 photo from T-Tuesday. Click to open in another page and zoom.

I also posted it in your discussion. Congrats!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 18, 2012 at 7:38pm: Dear Group,

Sorry I have been MIA…been tired…can’t seem to shake this sinus/ chest thing. I am reading all your posts though and I’m still here! Trying to get the next PIR group going too…hopefully have more time today.

Comment by KIM756 on January 18, 2012 at 6:28pm: Love it Camo-mom! And so proud of you! :)

Comment by AngelW (Ship 07 Div 060) on January 18, 2012 at 5:48pm: I cannot wait!! I purchased ear muffs today, so the question is, will i really need them? they were on clearance for $5 so what a deal.

Have a great evening :)

Comment by blackie123 on January 18, 2012 at 5:42pm: 2weeks til PIR. Do you think it's ok to send contacts to them?

Comment by diannep on January 18, 2012 at 5:33pm: YAH CAMO MOM! We were all very worried for you...I think some were going to bring an extra coat for you! Good girl! :-)

Comment by Marcy on January 18, 2012 at 3:30pm: I know I said I was going to go but I don't know if emotionally I can. I don't know if I could handle it. I will let you guys know if I am going or not. I may stop after I get out of my clinicals on Thursday afternoon. I am sure they will have a ton of people there as well. I am already tearing up just thinking of it. Yes they should be in GL for his graduation on that day rather than burring him instead. My heart is heavy thinking of them.

Comment by Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on January 18, 2012 at 2:45pm: So tragic.

Thank you for sharing.

Comment by G-Mom on January 18, 2012 at 1:57pm: Very sad. Thanks for sharing the info Marcy.

Alicia, your welcome. I like what you found as well. Nice!
