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."

Why wouldn't you have those things in your car at all times anyway? Just wondering.
I do know if you do not, and they ask, your car is not going on base.

We just went to PIR on 3/11/11. We were in line at 5:45 A.M. Gates opened promptly at 6:30 A.M. and went quickly. We had our parking pass printed out with the pertinent info on it as requested, our insurance card, and vehicle registration. My jaw dropped to the ground when they just signaled us to go in in. I guess better to be safe then sorry to have the appropriate paperwork. We have a 2005 Dodge Caravan and had a storage/luggage container on top (hard shell) and we fit in the parking garage. They had people there directing traffic and it went smoothly. They want you to go all the way down and park in the last spot available. This way everyone gets as close as possible to the ceremony. I was silly and parked where we first pulled in because they had directed us to go in a different area from the others in front of us. But it all worked out. No one hollered at me or told me to move. The other cars just moved past me and parked as they should. Getting out was a breeze too.

You can get to the visitor center for graduation/PIR without vehicle registration and proof of insurance. If you are actually going on base you will absolutely need the insurance and registration. The officer at the security gate will make a window pass that will allow you off and on base during the day and evening so you will only have to show it once.
