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 05/11/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors 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 Jaimers on March 23, 2012 at 6:07pm: @ Nancy ... wooot wooot ... her we go !!!

@ FTLW ...thank you

@ Annette - Hang in there.... we are all here for you ... I now its hard and you miss him... I promise it gets better. This is my second child to BC in 1yr.

Keeping busy and planning the PIR trip helps alot.

are we there yet ? lol

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 23, 2012 at 5:10pm: Annette, MSmom, is so right. Take a deep breath and take each day a step at a time. May will be here before you know it.

Comment by Annette GM3 Mom on March 23, 2012 at 5:09pm: Thanks. I guess its just friday and I'm used to him calling me asking where we going to eat tonight. Might also be because I want to call my mom and called his phone by mistake. I did not realize it until voice mail picked up and I heard his voice. I realize he's okay and this is a great opportunity for him. He is an only child and we pretty much did everything together. I just feel bad talking about crying on here when there are other mothers going through worse.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 23, 2012 at 5:04pm: Hello Jaimers!!

Comment by Jaimers on March 23, 2012 at 4:56pm: Hello Ladies... Im so Happy I finally know where i belong lol .... Received my "BOX" and "FORM LETTER" today.....PIR 5/11 here we come !!!!!!!!

wooooo hoooo !!

Comment by MSmom on March 23, 2012 at 4:43pm: @annette. I had those days too. When I wanted to cry and no one else understood. Just remember he is in good hands. Before you know it you will have tears of joy when that door rolls up in the graduation hall and you are cheering for your sailor. I think that the moms have a harder time than the recruits because we have to wait for any news. I promise you it will be better the closer you get to pir.

Comment by Annette GM3 Mom on March 23, 2012 at 4:20pm: don't mean to depress anyone but I am having a bad cry day today and don't know why... work is just not doing the trick today. Maybe it was looking for hotels,etc. I just needed to talk to someone who knows what it's like. Canot wait for 5/11 to get here

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 23, 2012 at 1:31pm: Dianne, don't worry, I'm not too far behind you and I have a birthday coming next week.

FTLW, step it up, lady.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 23, 2012 at 1:20pm: Don't rush me! Slave drivers..... hahahahaha!
It's been a wierd week...it didn't even compute that it us Friday and time to look at the next group! I think its because the last two formed so closely together! Also haven't "seen" as many departures on the monthly and BC mom group...but, that doesn't mean its not happening! I do know that RTC is going through some readiness excersizes...but don't know if it affects recruit arrivals.

LaLa...you said you have already had a mom order for 05/18? I'll be "recruiting" then!

Comment by diannep on March 23, 2012 at 11:59am: ...oh, and you have to know the age to do that...it is 6 years before I normally would collect my own. Does that tell you anything??? :-)
