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 families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never 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 discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by Batmansmom531 on December 10, 2011 at 1:06pm: Good morning all......its been quite a number of days since I have been on, my body is doing weird things and what I thought was sciatica may be something more serious.......MS. Please keep me in your prayers.. I'm scared to death, but determined to get diagnosed, and back to my old self (even though that body also needed improvement LOL) My SR called this morning, what a great pick me up!!!!! He sounds amazing, COLD...brrr, but amazing. He's earned a marksman ribbon, and a few others I can't quite remember (also part of the symptoms grrr) I am now looking for fares to PIR, as an 18 hour drive is not something my body can handle. If anyone sees or hears of low fares to chicago from orlando, please let me know.....Thank you to all the veterans on here.......I never would have made it through this trying time, especially during the holidays without your advice, support and prayers. God Bless!!

It has made this process so much easier to have a place to ask our questions and get honest, straight forward answers. I can't believe we are under 20 days.
