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 KikiOtter on May 9, 2012 at 2:21pm: LaLa- Got my ribbons yesterday too! They're wonderful :) Thank you so much! Was so worried they weren't going to be here in time, but was certainly relieved to see them arrive yesterday.

Comment by DaniHMItalyMom on May 9, 2012 at 8:22am: Wow -- This time flew by. Newbies -- the time really does go fast and before you know it you are packing to see your new sailor. I want to thank everyone for their support during these past two months. We had some laughs, we had some tears but mostly we made new friends. Thank you!

Lala - I got your ribbons and they are beautiful. Thank you for being part of the Navy family and sharing your talent with all of us.

Can't wait to meet all of my new friends on Thursday.

Comment by diannep on May 9, 2012 at 7:44am: Welcome, Shayla! Wish you had found us earlier in your journey, but glad you did find the group!

Safe travel for all leaving for PIR today.

B daniel: Kids 12 and under need birth certificate or social security card. You need state-issued photo ID. Only pass needed is gate pass if you are driving a car onto base. If taking the shuttle to PIR, gate pass is not needed (but if you want to drive onto RTC when returning sailor after liberty on PIR day, you will need pass).

Comment by diannep on May 9, 2012 at 7:40am: Thanks so much, BCmom. We N4Moms veterans love doing this! And...remember....in just a couple of days, all of you will be N4Moms veterans too! We invite you all to stay on the PIR groups and to help the newbies get through bootcamp!

"Extras" at PIR need to have proper ID, sailor's full name/division number. It is better if they show up with ones on the list, but don't think it is necessary. Sometimes extras are made to wait until all on the lists are seated; sometimes they get to go in right away. But they should get in.

Comment by ellen0502 on May 9, 2012 at 2:47am: Safe travels this week everyone and congratulations!!!

Don't forget to keep your gate pass after PIR, you may be able to drive your Sailor back to his barracks if he is staying in GL for A School.

Comment by Annette GM3 Mom on May 9, 2012 at 2:40am: Headed to the airport now... only a couple of days left!

Comment by Shayla M (ship 02 Div 926) on May 8, 2012 at 11:36pm: I am pretty new to this site but I just want to say it is so helpful and everyone is amazing congrats to all of your sailors and families! I'm so excited to see my husband friday!!
