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 AliciaG (Ship 12, DIV 204) on May 25, 2012 at 5:36pm: ReneeBC----I think we need to wear our user names somehow! Did you get a letter from Dillon? I was so thrilled to get an emvelope with 4 letters from Chris!!!

Comment by marcyl(Ship11Div197) on May 25, 2012 at 5:34pm: Has anyone in 197 received a call from their SR yet? Just wondering if they have reached their "Call" week.

Comment by ReneeBC on May 25, 2012 at 4:58pm: Your welcome, Marcyl.

We'll all have to come up with a plan for meeting one another at PIR (or meet n greet). I don't think "I'll be the mom with a big smile and a pkg of tissues." is going to work, do you? LOL I'm truly looking forward to meeting you, too.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 25, 2012 at 4:00pm: marcyl - here is a fb site for this PIR group

Comment by marcyl(Ship11Div197) on May 25, 2012 at 3:33pm: Thank You Renee. Look forward to meeting you at PIR.

Comment by diannep on May 25, 2012 at 3:31pm: Ok, marcy. You will find another great group of ladies here in this group too! Welcome!

Comment by ReneeBC on May 25, 2012 at 12:21pm: Marcyl, I'm glad to see you back. I hope you are doing well after your family loss. My son has the same PIR 6/29, but is in a different DIV (203). He is, however, going to Pensacola for A school (Aircrew). Have you joined the Pensacola A school group, yet? I hope to see you there as well!

Comment by marcyl(Ship11Div197) on May 25, 2012 at 12:03pm: Good Morning Ladies! I am new to this PIR Group. My daughter was in PIR 6/22 (Div 189) but is now in 6/29 (Div197). I am sad to leave the great moms I met in 6/22, but I know there are just as many great moms here in 6/29. We are from Utah and my daughter will be going to Pensacola, Fl for A School (Air Crew). If there is a FB page for this group, please let me know.

Comment by adrienne ship 09 div 199 on May 25, 2012 at 11:41am: I aked my SR yesterday when he called were his boots bothering him at all and he said they were fine...he said that it took awhile for him to get used to him but that he didn't have any blisters.....so, that's a good thing....being that I didn't know at the time what you guys were sending band aids for :-) LOL..

Comment by diannep on May 25, 2012 at 10:40am: I agree with Ellen on the "fat" envelopes....better to send things separately in envelopes than to make them fat...and like she said, if it doesn't feel like "a letter" that is inside, then it will have to be opened. So don't try to sneak them anything that they aren't allowed to have! The rule of thumb is usually to send something if they ask for it because they most likely got that "cleared" before asking. If they didn't ask permission, oh well! They'll be sure not to do that again!

It is best to scan pictures onto the back of your letters or on a separate sheet...rather than sending actual photos. They take up alot of storage space (that they don't have!) and actual pictures may necessitate them opening letters in front of the RDCs. There are rules on the types of pictures they can receive....I'm mainly speaking to the wives/gfs/fiances! Ahem! :-) Pet pictures, by the way, are all-time favorites to be received!
