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 06/29/2012

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 Sailors/Recruits 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 diannep on June 7, 2012 at 8:44am: Renee: Your SR didn't mention being allowed to TALK during meals. They are not allowed to speak during mealtime! So dinner conversation with family during PIR weekend is usually a welcome relief!

Good morning all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 7, 2012 at 6:23am: Renee - GREAT post...your SR's list gave me a (VBG)!!!!

mareluc-Praying for a good news letter!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 7, 2012 at 6:14am: Sorry I wasn’t on much either…again! I am trying to get the next PIR group started so my focus shifts a bit during this time…and well…it’s the Stanley Cup Finals!

Hubby worked Monday night so we taped it and watched last night…and Game 4 was tonight. BUMMER… the Kings lost…but they are up 3-1! Woo-Hoo! Has been a great Finals so far! My hubby used to play Hockey (which is funny for a Glendale kid! I mean Hockey was around but not a So Cal thing! He also played some as an adult.), and got me hooked when The Great One (Wayne Gretzky) came to LA! So I have been glued to the TV with him…and I will be Saturday night too for Game 5!

I am catching up!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 6, 2012 at 11:48pm: Lala, in my mind, I tell myself that is why my sailor is still single. He is waiting for me to pick out the perfect girl for him.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 6, 2012 at 11:42pm: That's an awesome list, too funny about the girl. Don't all moms wish they could pick out the girl? LOL
Sorry I haven't been on here tonight. Can log in to this site from my computer for some reason so I am having to use my phone. It's weird this is the only sure I am having a problem with. Hopefully it will work tomorrow. Good night all.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 6, 2012 at 9:25pm: mareluc, that's great about Marlinspike.

Renee, that's a great list. I love the sit down dinner request.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on June 6, 2012 at 9:11pm: ReneeBC - great letter - thanks for sharing! Love his wishlist!!!

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on June 6, 2012 at 9:09pm: smokie - haven't heard anything yet. Thursday is my letter day so keeping my fingers crossed for some GOOD news tomorrow. Another mom in our division (196) said they did excellent in Marlinspike - no hits and they did it under 23 minutes so they earned phone calls!!! Yeah not sure when - maybe Saturday but so happy for them all! they all deserve it! the also won the Athletic Flag I think she said!!!! Great news!!!

Comment by ReneeBC on June 6, 2012 at 8:47pm: Julie,

He's usually a lot of fun, though Im not too sure a nap, button down shirt, and CNN sounds like all that much fun for most people! LOL

Comment by ReneeBC on June 6, 2012 at 8:16pm: Lala, Smokie, diannep, and Betsy,

Thanks!

I left out his wishlist. It isn't TOO personal, niave, yes, personal, eh.

He warned there may be more later, but here it is:

1. World News!!!, (He could care less about sports scores. He said he saw a bit of CNN at the VA hospital and is going through withdrawal symptoms now.)

2. A long hot shower

3. Civilian clothes; jeans and a button down shirt (He hasn't been told, yet!)

4. cell phone! for the day

5. Starbucks

6. a nap (Does he know how many hours there are in a day???)

7. a sit down meal with menus, NOT cafeteria style

8. a girl, nevermind...I'll find my own girlfriend
