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 Donna on March 30, 2012 at 8:02am: Happy Friday everyone! Few more weeks and we will be at PIR with our new sailors!

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 7:59am: Congrats, Betsy, on your new home! YAH!

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 7:58am: Smile09: FTLW is really good about checking that link that Betsy posted and as soon as the divisions are posted there, she gets them on this page. Normally they are posted by now...delayed this week. Probably because of the anti-terrorism drill last week???

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 30, 2012 at 7:58am: Good Morning Lala. Have fun subbing today.

I will be back on here later today. We just bought a new house and we have the inspector coming this morning.

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 7:57am: Betsy, you know that I never mind at all when any of you on our N4Moms veteran team answer questions! That is what we are here for! Thanks! :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 30, 2012 at 7:05am: Good morning everyone, I hope you all are ready for the weekend. I am subbing in HS Art today. I will have my step-daughter as a student lol. I am taking my work with me lol. I love subbing in high school art. They don't care if you are crafty and making beautiful things for beautiful people :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 29, 2012 at 10:01pm: Smile09, I'm sure that Dianne won't mind if I answer your question. The RTC website posts all the dates of the graduations. I'm sure, as Dianne stated, your's will be posted soon.

Comment by Steph on March 29, 2012 at 9:54pm: The last 24 hours have been fantastic! I received my first letter from my man then today at work he called me! :D He called for security references but it was the best 2 and half mins ever! Such a relief to know he is doing well!

Comment by Emily MA PIR 5/11/12 on March 29, 2012 at 9:48pm: Yea! I received my first real letter today! It's amazing. Reading it, I could almost hear her voice speaking to me. She said things are going pretty well... except a few health issues... let's see, her eyes have gotten worse, she is anemic so they are giving her supplements and vitamins and making her eat more meat..., she had a fever for 3 days and was SIQ (sick in quarters) for 1 day, was dehydrated and had to have 2 IVs - then was allergic to the adhesive on the tape and has a cream for that! But other than that - things are fine! When a mom is reading all that, she is thankful she didn't know about it until it was over!

Let's see, the food is amazing (coming from someone who is super picky) and they aren't allowed to eat the desserts... Except for her - she locked her knees and got faint. They thought she had low blood sugar so they gave her a cookie. Geez... Thank goodness all is well now, or I would be worried they'd send her home. Other than the initial health issues, she sounded great, and she said she is adjusting pretty well. She doesn't have a watch, so the hardest part is not having her phone to know the time. They started with 107 recruits - they are now down to 85.

She said their chief is a 5'1" clone of Regina King on Miss Congeniality 2. Her closing line - "well, I need to go shine my boots now!" I had prepared myself not to receive a letter for awhile, so this was a fabulous day!

Comment by VickiW Ship12 Div 147 PIR5/11 on March 29, 2012 at 9:43pm: No real letters from my daughter yet :( I am waiting for one to come and I am putting a letter every day in the mail box for her. I picked up a "I miss you" card to fill out and mail tomrrow morning. Good information about the tickets! We are still trying to decide if we are going to drive or fly from Texas.
