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 tatmom4rc(Ship12, Div. 204) on June 5, 2012 at 2:59pm: I agree - i would try my best to do what I can for my SR - although the outcome is not always what we would like it to be - we all need to move on.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 5, 2012 at 8:32am: So true tatmom- I would not have said anything at all to my ex if my daughter had not ask me to too. I could tell she was really hurt that her dad was not writing her and I, like any mom does not like to her her children hurt in any way. I always say what comes around goes around and I will always be happy that I showered her with love and mail during bootcamp :-)

Comment by diannep on June 5, 2012 at 7:20am: Good morning all!

Comment by tatmom4rc(Ship12, Div. 204) on June 5, 2012 at 3:00am: I know I have many stories about my ex - but each and everyone one of you know your child and what is best for them - - I would stop using your energy in trying to get them to "be"' something they aren't and just be who you are. My Sr is close to both his father and I - when he filled out his form letter question #17 asked - who loves you more A. RDC B Mom, C (insert pet's name) - he circled B - Mom and wrote behind it times 100,000 - so happy. I mail him almost every day - - he loves the letters - they look forward to them - and they need to hear "your voice" of support. Don't worry about what others think or say. Be strong.

Comment by tatmom4rc(Ship12, Div. 204) on June 5, 2012 at 2:32am: I am just reading this - but as someone has already said - PIR is just coming around the corner and the call that you think you might get of him coming home - maybe the "I'm a sailor call". We are all with you and your son. Take care.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 5, 2012 at 12:03am: TY smokie! (here is another!)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 5, 2012 at 12:00am: That's cool Betsy! Look at that handsome Sailor and his purty Mamma! Woo-Hoo!

Comment by Shelly on June 4, 2012 at 9:46pm: Hi Lala Ribbon Queen. Your name fits so well. I got my ribbon order today and they are wonderful. Much bigger than I thought they would be but just perfect. Thank you so much for making these for the families. It feels like I am a bit more connected to my SR.
