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 May 13, 2012 at 3:06pm: Avaya: I say....throw some "dirty socks" on the floor....whatever will give you some peace while he is gone. Funny how the things that can drive us crazy about spouses/kids....when they are gone and those things are not issues anymore, it is downright painful! And, as Ronny and Anna said....vent here whenever you like! That is what it is for.

Bootcamp is an emotionally up and down experience for the SRs and for you all too. But it does get better---even as bootcamp goes along, it will get better. Just know that A School is a totally different experience...once they are back in contact, it is so much better! So hang in there....this too shall pass!

Comment by Recruit Man - Ronny on May 13, 2012 at 12:46pm: Avaya, PIR will come before you know it....and it is truly an amazing experience. You can vent all you want!! I will listen..LOL....did you send him some phone cards or did he take some with him....if you need anymore, go to calls for recruits.org and get some free ones. I hope you have a truly amazing Mother's Day and he calls you today!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Avaya0805 (Ship 9/ Division 201) on May 13, 2012 at 12:33pm: Oh man. That video was nice. Thank you for sharing. I try so hard not to cry and to stay positive. This past two weeks feels like two months. I miss my husband. I joked with him and said "at least there won't be any dirty socks on the floor when you leave." Now I want the dirty socks back on the floor and the sound of his voice to be in our home. :( I write a letter every day and get nothing back (I know I will soon). But waiting is so hard. Sorry to sound so down. I just need to vent and to know I'm not alone.

Comment by Recruit Man - Ronny on May 13, 2012 at 12:16pm: You are so welcome Renee....Have a Great Mother's Day!!!

Comment by ReneeBC on May 13, 2012 at 12:11pm: Ronny and Anna,

Thanks for the video! It was very touching to watch, and I couldn't hold back the tears. .

Comment by Recruit Man - Ronny on May 13, 2012 at 11:35am: Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms...I made a video for you :)

Comment by ReneeBC on May 13, 2012 at 11:16am: Mareluc, Wouldn't getting a letter this week be the best gift?!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on May 13, 2012 at 11:12am: Happy Mother's Day to all! I am missing my son so much right now, as I am sure everyone else is! Hope you have a great day! Keeping my fingers crossed for mail this week - hopefully they are writing to us today!!!!!

Comment by Avaya0805 (Ship 9/ Division 201) on May 13, 2012 at 10:52am: Does anyone know when the DEERS insurance information will come in? I just got the form letter from my husband, willl it come sometime soon after that? I am hoping to get our son set up for insurance before he's sick again. He's sick every few weeks thanks to the day care :)
