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."

Join the group, PIR 03/01/2013 TG 16 – 6 Divisions (101-104, 914 & 915), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups.

On the evening before PIR, Sarge has a Meet and Greet from 5:30pm to 9pm at the SUNDANCE SALOON WAUKEGAN 300 LAKEHURST ROAD WAUKEGAN. It will be posted within the Events tab when it gets closer to that PIR date.

I'm driving from Portland Oregon to TN to pick up my daughter and then we are driving from there to Illinois for Graduation. I hope to get there for the meet and greet but I won't count on that.. What Division is your sons or daughters in? Would be cool to have all of them in the same division. But either way still would be nice to meet all of you there..
