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."

If it isn't and it is a mom who has confirmation...i may have to to with them to start it. I am on phone will be at a real computer very soon.

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 19, 2012 at 7:36pm: FTLW, yes, I would start the group once I get the official form letter but I'm really just learning about this site. I'm sure I can figure it out just let me know what I need to do. When he got to call on Sunday or some random reason, it sounded like he was in P-hold since he didn't really get there until Friday and thought his PIR was 6/15 but I was still holding out hope it would be the 8th. Let me know what I can do.

Comment by RobertsMom on April 19, 2012 at 7:22pm: Finally received my son's form letter today - ship 03/div 174 has a PIR date of 6/8 - so happy!

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on April 19, 2012 at 7:15pm: Paytonsmom(ship2div930)- oppss just realized that she put in a note to mail them back to you - I guess my son will want his too?? Nice birthday present!!! Happy early birthday...

I must have missed something about ribbons?? Not sure what that is all about?

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on April 19, 2012 at 7:12pm: My son mailed his back too. I assumed they do not need them...I thought in the video of boot camp they issue them a card to make calls. Do not worry about missing a call yet, most calls aren't supposed to be for 3 weeks and it's only been a few days over one week.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2012 at 7:10pm: SarahsMom- just send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com and I will send you (or anyone else) the info about the ribbons and some PIR Tips as well. You can also look at pics on my page here by clicking on my name or go to my facebook page and click on photos then on all photos to see all my stuff :) Thanks, hopefully this link will work.

Comment by Paytonsmom(ship2div930) on April 19, 2012 at 7:07pm: I received the form letter today and PIR is 6/8. That will be my birthday present !!! My note said "send me my calling card" .she had sent it back to me with her clothes and I didn't see it because it was in a little pocket in her backpack ! I hope she didn't miss a call because of this since I have seen some others getting early calls .

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on April 19, 2012 at 7:07pm: Hi! I just joined this group. My son arrived in GL 4/11 and we just got our form letter today with a PIR of 6/8. His first call when he arrived said he would not be calling for about 3 weeks. I don't expect any calls before that. Also, I watched the Boot Camp 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 videos - I thought they said in there that they do not need the calling cards after that first call home. I think they issue them a card to use for the future calls. Not positive about this...
