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."

Comment by monica on October 31, 2012 at 7:41pm: My son is on that SHIP and DIV

I have so many questions for anyone. And would like to have input on some things.

I miss my son so much .I can't wait for Graduation to see him. When should I get my hotel or plane tickets?

what is that special word for ? when or where do I use it? the one in the first letter he sent.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 31, 2012 at 11:23pm: monica, get your hotel and plane reservations ASAP. You may want to use an airline, such as Southwest, that does not charge if you have to change your flight. The password in the form letter is for you to get the vehicle gate pass if you are driving onto the RTC for PIR. About 11 days before PIR the link to download the vehicle/gate pass will be posted at http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp. You will need to enter the password from the form letter using all capital letters and then print the vehicle pass and handwrite in the information to fill in the blanks. You can print off more than one vehicle pass if your Sailor's guests will be arriving in more than one vehicle or just to be certain that you know where one is.

Comment by monica on November 2, 2012 at 3:13pm: Thank you so much for the info. I did get a hotel it's just far from where the PIR is. I would like to rent a car but will the pass work for that car ?

Comment by lemonelephant on November 4, 2012 at 4:10pm: Donna, join the group, PIR 12/21/2012 TG 6 - 10 Divisions (031-038, 803 & 904), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. There will be a discussion within that group for that division after a while.

Comment by lemonelephant on November 4, 2012 at 4:11pm: monica, yes, you can use the vehicle gate pass with a rental car. You will need to have your rental agreement available if you are asked for registration and proof of insurance at the gate.

Comment by Mom2Shae on November 11, 2012 at 11:32am: 04/021 Mom here. My son is in your husband's brother division. I hear both divisions are doing great!

Comment by Britt39 on November 21, 2012 at 4:05pm: Hi everyone sorry I haven't been on been really busy lately!!! But has anyone received calls yet??? Do any of y'all know when there bs is???

Comment by lemonelephant on November 21, 2012 at 7:29pm: If anyone does know when BS-21 will be, please PM it to her. We are not to post BS-21 dates openly.

Sometimes diannep sends out a PM to the PIR group to let them know if she has been given the dates. You might check in the group and see if she or someone else can PM you or send the info in the body of a Friend Request message (you would read it and don't have to accept the Friend Request unless you want to).
