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 diannep on December 21, 2010 at 9:04pm: joans: I think you will enjoy the Residence. Don't forget the free hot buffet breakfast in the lobby and to sign up when you check in for your PIR shuttle time (if you aren't taking a car). We were on the 6:30 shuttle...perfect timing! Plenty of seating to choose from!

Comment by Marchel_ship11/div053 on December 21, 2010 at 8:54pm: Flight, hotel, car- done! Now we need the 37 days to be 1! Such a short trip- arrive Thursday and leave Saturday after our son leaves for California. We’ll soak up every minute!

Comment by KLP0824 on December 21, 2010 at 8:51pm: yay i got a letter today

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 21, 2010 at 7:43pm: ONLY 37 DAYS!

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 21, 2010 at 6:20pm: Congratulations to the divisions that received phone calls!!!!!

Diannep I changed my reservations to the residence inn when I found out my son would be staying with us the entire weekend. I got the room (2 bedroom suite) for $556.00 for 4 nights.

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 21, 2010 at 5:59pm: I would like to give a BIG shout-out to all of our new members!! We are so happy you found us!! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!

Comment by diannep on December 21, 2010 at 4:11pm: Kathy: Jessica has posted a discussion above called "What to Wear/Bring to PIR." Has good info in it.

Comment by Kathy Ship 11 Div 057 on December 21, 2010 at 4:07pm: where is the list for what to bring for your sailor to PIR? Also, I know my son will be heading to CONN for A school, and someone mentioned getting his sheets, comforter, etc. I'd love to purchase that all for him, but then he has to lug it through the airports and pack it.

My son is married...how long after bootcamp can his wife get the paperwork together to join him?

Comment by diannep on December 21, 2010 at 9:39am: AlisahNicole: Can you post your PIR division numbers at the top of this page? They are:

53-58, 910

Makes it easier to check division numbers when it is time to figure out BattleStations dates. Thanks!
