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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 29, 2012 at 1:20pm: crazyd, that's awesome! Lucky for you and your sailor.

Comment by crazyd925 on March 29, 2012 at 12:17pm: Who said they have ribbons and scarves info? Where do I go to see what's available?

Comment by crazyd925 on March 29, 2012 at 12:16pm: Betsy...there's no question of us leaving til that last possible second! Luckily for us, even though it's so far, his A school in Charleston is the very area we're from. We live in Colorado now and as my husband says, it's a great reason to visit him and family at the same time!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 29, 2012 at 11:54am: crazyd, there is really no way of knowing yet. We usually advise that you plan to stay in GL until at least Sunday, just in case your new sailor is there longer.

Comment by PNSCTNMom on March 29, 2012 at 10:17am: Question for veteran BC moms.....SR is in the hospital for an injury.....this is day 3...is there any rule that says that I can't go to him?

Comment by KikiOtter on March 29, 2012 at 9:50am: Dani-haven't heard anything about shirts. Just ribbons and scarves.

Comment by crazyd925 on March 29, 2012 at 9:46am: Any clue when the Nukes usually leave for their A School in Charleston after their PIR? We're driving so don't have to worry about flights but it would be nice to be able to spend a couple of days with him after driving across country.

Comment by Cassandra on March 29, 2012 at 4:43am: I received my first letter from my daughter today!!! I hope she gets my letters soon. Happily my husband and I will be at PIR May 11th and I can't wait to get my arms around her !!!
