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 alma SHIP 09/DIV 146 on March 20, 2012 at 2:34am: Hi! my son left on 3/13 from Los Angeles CA. We received his box on Saturday and still waiting for the letter.

Comment by Fishingurl04 on March 20, 2012 at 12:22am: Great Idea Jennifer!

Comment by Jennifer G on March 19, 2012 at 11:33pm: I printed straight on the envelope in a font that has the slash thru the zero!!! And posted the address on FB.
Lol!

Comment by kimstn on March 19, 2012 at 11:29pm: @Dani & Jennifer G - got my letter today; Ship 11 Div 142 here also!!! So glad to have this info and finally be able to address those letters I have been writing. I have to admit that I made a sheet of labels with his address so I can smack a stamp and let it fly quickly!

At his going away party, I had people write him notes that I kept for mailing while he is away. So I am going to send a letter from me and a couple of notes each day. I also sent his address to extended family and friends via email as they have all been asking since he left last week.

Looking forward to making some friends as we share this journey while the SR's are busy sharing their side of it.
