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 ellen0502 on May 14, 2012 at 12:41am: Kim, you will soon be able to talk, text etc.. I am in contact with my son almost daily now, I promise it will get better. Hang in there!!!

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2012 at 11:08pm: Kim: I hope that you will feel better since you should be in more constant contact now with your son. He may not be in GL, but hearing his voice more often should do you good, I hope!

Comment by Kim on May 13, 2012 at 9:34pm: I miss my sailors so bad. This feels like it's all over. I feel like I have no purpose in life. Being that I live in Great Lakes it's hard to bielieve my son is no longer there.

Comment by KikiOtter on May 13, 2012 at 8:35pm: AaronsMom: I think I cried pretty much the whole way home and then some, lol but my drive was only 2 and a half hrs.

Comment by KikiOtter on May 13, 2012 at 8:32pm: B Daniel- sorry you had to ride the train alone! If I had seen your post Friday night, you could have ridden over with me & Kiddo in the car. :( briefly saw you in the uso I think. I was barely awake and scatter-brained. Was great meeting you this weekend! And your kids are adorable! :)

Comment by AaronsMom Brenda Ship 12 Div 147 on May 13, 2012 at 8:25pm: Wow, what a weekend! PIR was fabulous! Our Sailor is on hold, so we were able to spend Friday, all day Saturday and even some time with him this morning. It was great, but so hard to leave him. (I think I cried for the first 3 hours of our 6 hour drive home.) He's not certain, but hoping to be shipping out Monday or Tuesday to Pensacola. After that we'll get him home again for about 3 weeks and then he's shipping out to Japan.

Comment by rluv76-ship09/div144 on May 13, 2012 at 6:52pm: Kim my daughter went to Pensacola too. Plan left at 8 am. We were at the airport with her at 3 am. Feel like I haven't slept. She seemed very up beat and positive! I on the other hand am having with drawls :-(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 13, 2012 at 5:21pm: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

...A LITTLE TOUGH...

...A LITTLE FLUFF!

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2012 at 10:03am: Happy Mothers Day, everyone! I know this weekend was probably one of the best Mother's Day presents ever! :-)

Comment by kimstn on May 13, 2012 at 9:58am: Wow! what a great weekend! My son was so self-assured, self confident and just had a great time with him. He had been RPOC for his division, so he evidently had to reign in on the order giving part of his adventure once he was with us. He was only indecisive when it came to choosing a restaurant - and he had some trouble figuring out how to eat wearing all white without mishap! lol Once that was done, we were off and running and had a great day.

He is off to Pensacola and we are already discussing a trip to see him since he can have days off base starting next Saturday. In a few weeks, he will be allowed weekends off base too. Hope to spend is 19th birthday with him in FL!!!

Thanks for sharing this journey everyone and Bravo Zulu for your new Sailors
