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."

My son is also PIR 2/10/12 and heading to Nuke school in Charleston. Thanks for the link, looks like lots of info. Not sure of his assignment preference for training...Not sure if he knows his assignment yet.

Hi momofson, Glad to meet you. My son is in 11/065. Which one is yours in? Mine is hoping for ET but they will assign them the rate where they are most needed is my understanding. I wonder when they get those assignments. Will you be attending PIR?

My son is 11/061. We are heading to PIR , have all my reservations, except flight home. hoping to hear when he will leave for A school, before booking flight. We are flying out on 2/8 just in case of weather. Presently have hotel reservations until 2/12. We live in Pennsylvania, how about you?

I live in upstate New York. I will be flying out to Iowa & then driving to PIR from there. It's about a 4 hour drive. Currently have reservations for the 9th & 10th but will probably add the 11th, just in case. I have read that chances are good that he will ship out to Charleston in the very wee hours of 2/11. Hoping of course, that he will have more time to spend with us but am happy for any time I get to be with him.

Hey ladies, my son will also be heading to Nuke school following his 2/10/12 PIR. He is 11/068 and I believe will make his Nuke rating request this week and find out which rate the Navy has assigned him the following week. He too I believe is going to be requesting ET as first choice.
