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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 21, 2011 at 1:59pm: Thanks Ar, it is gone. I am sure she just didn't realize. No harm done I am sure.

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 21, 2011 at 1:56pm: I removed the comment that stated last name. Please confirm it is now gone - Lala, Craig and others. Thanks!

Comment by Craig on November 21, 2011 at 12:17pm: I totally agree with Lala - Remove the post because of the last name. Geez, this is an open forum, you don't want a bunch of spammers mailing SR Sxxxx porn and other stuff at boot camp. That will make this poor recruits life miserable.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 21, 2011 at 11:30am: AZ- it is so cool to find out who his bunk mate is and I hope you can find his family on this site. I am still amazed at how many families go through this experience without this site. However, you will need to delete your post because it has a last name in it. You can rewrite your post and include everything except the name you could even use the initials on the post and send private messages to anyone on see if you can figure out. I bet they will both love the cards you are sending :-)

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 9:32am: Good morning, everyone! Have a wonderful day!

Comment by RuthL on November 21, 2011 at 7:38am: FireTeam-You always make me smile. I am OK with not getting the call, just glad that she caleed and all is well.

You were all right. There could be 100 reasons why our SR doesn't call with the rest of the group and all of them are not bad. the mother is us however, wnats to now everything NOW! I guess this will be part of my life for the next several years so I should start getting used to it.

Have a GREAT Monday everyone.

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 21, 2011 at 7:13am: Good morning everyone. Glad to hear about the Boy Scout Troop. Not sure what this week will unfold for me. Plus this year neither kiddo will be home. Guess I better get used to that. :"( Oh well- both boys will be home soon. So glad our oldest is getting to come home for Christmas and go with us to PIR and stay while his brother will be home before A school. I am going to take these little gifts as I can get them. Few and far between as they most likely will be for a while. Between work, trying to go with hubby to the deer woods, getting our new puppy and Thanksgiving, it going to be a busy week so I think I will go find the "wheaties" and get prepared. Chat again in the morning. Have a blessed day! Couldn't resist this one----

What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving? ~Erma Bombeck

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 21, 2011 at 12:29am: Ruth...here is a hug!

...and a little bunny to make you smile!

Glad she was able to get her BF and hope that the NEXT call is a long one for you!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 21, 2011 at 12:25am: ArNavyMom - I think Michelle meant the form letter. It comes with a brochure for hotels and such, along with the form letter. This is the only info you will get about PIR from RTC (via your recruit).
