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 adrienne ship 09 div 199 on May 23, 2012 at 8:51pm: mareluc- in my son's letter which was date 5/14 he mentioned that he would be taking the physical fitness test the next day and that he had heard if they don't pass it that it would not count against them??..idk.....he did mention that the tests consisted of 50 push ups, 50 sit ups and that they had to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes....so maybe what he meant is that they would be able to take it again if they didn't pass it...........

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 23, 2012 at 8:32pm: adrienne - i think its the physical fitness test - he said something about having to pee and he lost time and he was breaking up so not sure what happened. I also found out from other moms in the Div that they got in trouble today and instead of getting their allotted time for phone calls they only had like 15 min so there was a couple who were down and homesick

Comment by adrienne ship 09 div 199 on May 23, 2012 at 8:18pm: I hope all of the SR's start to feel better :(

I haven't had a phone call yet.

Comment by adrienne ship 09 div 199 on May 23, 2012 at 8:16pm: mareluc- awww poor thing, I hope his spirits rise and that he will be ok. What is the pft test? Will he be able to take it again? So happy you got a call though..

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 23, 2012 at 8:08pm: Rochelle - I can't wait for PIR - hope you will be able to make it!

Comment by Shelly on May 23, 2012 at 7:33pm: Thank you Renee. I hope it helps him too.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 23, 2012 at 7:31pm: My son called today too! He was very down and homesick - did not expect this at all - his letter was so positive last week - very down right now :( Please please tell me he will get better! He also said he failed his pft test cause he had to pee - not sure he was breaking up on phone and said he lost time and then someone yelled and he said I have to go!

Comment by ReneeBC on May 23, 2012 at 7:22pm: Shelly,

Somehow I missed your post. I'm so happy for your long phone call!! ( though your son isn't well) Let's hope touching base with home makes him feel a lot better! 37 days!!

Comment by Shelly on May 23, 2012 at 7:20pm: I know. My husband called me at work to tell me we had 2 letters from him. I was so excited to know about those. Then on the way home from work on my cell phone was the 847 area code and when I picked it up, his voice! Oh what a great day!!!!!!!

Comment by ReneeBC on May 23, 2012 at 7:18pm: lisa,

So exciting to hear from your SR!!! I hope your feet don't touch the ground for quite awhile! :)))
