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 01/20/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never 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 discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by joemama on January 23, 2012 at 9:09am: Praying for those exhausted sailors in San Antonio who "visited" five airports in 24 hours because of the weather delays and diversions on Saturday.

Comment by LedbetterLisa on January 22, 2012 at 5:50pm: Just got back home today from GL and we are exhausted. Grad was amazing and visiting with my son was even better. I took tons of pics and we made great memories from this. Div 909 I am so proud of all of you.

Comment by diannep on January 21, 2012 at 11:50am: Congrats, ladies! Good morning! Hope all are enjoying airport visits with their sailors, or a day in GL/Chicago with their sailors!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 20, 2012 at 10:41pm: Sorry I was gone again today…had a retirement ceremony to go to out at base…then had to take a nap…. Thought about all of you ALL day! Snuck some peaks on phone in the bathroom!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 20, 2012 at 1:51pm: Congratulations to you and all your new Sailors! I hope you have a joyous liberty with them. Yes...please be careful in the weather. Can't wait to here your PIR experiemces! I will be thinking of you all today as I go about my day! Blessings to you all!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 20, 2012 at 12:00pm: Hoping all had a safe and wonderful day! We are thinking of you all today.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 20, 2012 at 8:33am: YAY PIR..... Finally, I know it has been a long hard ride with many ups and downs, good times and sad times, some laughing, lots of crying but you are finally here. Be careful on your way to the ceremony; I saw you have some pretty nasty weather right now. Dress in layers and stay warm. Give you Sailor lots of hugs and maybe hug a few others along the way. Tell them all we are so proud of them and happy to have them serve our country. Bravo Zulu :-)

Comment by diannep on January 20, 2012 at 8:27am: The day is finally HERE! In just about 3.5 hours, you will be hugging those sailors! Hope all are up and moving by now. We were just getting on the shuttle this time 2 yrs ago. Remember...get there early! Test out cameras, as Lala wisely suggests, get your seats in your division section, enjoy the pre-ceremony activity, and get ready to focus your eyes on that BIG DOOR.

Here is the video of what you are about to experience:

Enjoy!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 19, 2012 at 8:01pm: Rachael - Glad you are there safe...get some rest!

Comment by Navy Mom x3 on January 19, 2012 at 7:57pm: We are checked in to the Residence Inn. I caught the cold my youngest had and my head feels like it's going to explode. I don't think I'll make the meet and greet tonight. I'm going to self medicate and try to sleep so I can hug my Sailor tomorrow.
