OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Janet on April 4, 2012 at 3:16pm: I'm driving so I can be flexible with my return home. I think they let him keep his current pair of lenses in his case until he got glasses. I had ordered his disposable lenses shortly before he left so he just left them at the house. Guess I just have to wait until the last week to plan time we can spend together after PIR

Comment by diannep on April 4, 2012 at 3:02pm: Didn't mean to put "they get their departure info at the end of PIR" below. Meant to say at the end---close to PIR. Usually PIR week. sorry....

Comment by diannep on April 4, 2012 at 3:01pm: Janet: You can actually mail him his contacts for PIR if he would like to wear them then. He is allowed. Ask him before mailing. They get their departure info at the end of PIR...usually the week of PIR. So you won't be able to wait on travel arrangements. We advise all who have sailors flying out to try to book your flight back later Sat night or Sunday---those with GL A School students should book back on Sunday night/Monday if possible since they get daytime Sat and Sun liberty.

However, in one PIR group, they found out that their Pensacola sailors will be flying out on Monday. Unusual to hold them through the weekend, but it happens. So the longer you can stay through the weekend, the better just in case more time with your sailors! It could have been that the Pensacola sailors flying on Monday were the ones PIRing Easter weekend (this week)...flights full. Can't remember for sure which group it was, but for holiday weekends, many times the sailors have to wait go get flights later in the weekend or Monday.
