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 keger2001 on July 27, 2011 at 10:03pm: Okay the 2 Sandy's, Jon just texted back and said that "yep it's all scripted with the Chief right next to you when you call"

Comment by keger2001 on July 27, 2011 at 9:44pm: I still think they should l let everyone have a PIR experience, they all work hard. I just texted Jon and asked him about the "scripted" call that they seem to not agreeing on on the 7/29 PIR group. He hasn't answered yet, but he will eventually, he is doing laundry..I guess no more " I don't know how to run the machines" excuses for him..LOL

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on July 27, 2011 at 9:42pm: Tuesday was my daughter's first day in FIT, so perhaps they tested her then just to see how far she needed to get. She did not test today but I was told she would test tomorrow, so every other day, probably usually MWF.

Parrothdgal, Her rate is Hospital Corpsman and A-School is in San Antonio, so I can definitely go visit her there when she has earned some liberty. I have a grandchild in San Antonio, so it won't bother me at all to go there.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 27, 2011 at 9:37pm: sandy, nothing is more dangerous than a knowledgeable Mom, LoL.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 27, 2011 at 9:36pm: keger, that happened to my friends son that I emailed you about. In the end, he made it, but he went to Battle Stations with another division. He kept his PIR date.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 27, 2011 at 9:31pm: sandy, that makes sense that they would have them run on the treadmill for conditioning.

I think my son felt as if everything he did in boot camp was a test. LoL

How many division graduated in your son's PIR group?

Comment by keger2001 on July 27, 2011 at 9:29pm: Okay getting confused on the Sandys..lol anyway to both of you, Jon also said that they tested every other day, and on the non test days they ran tread mills, and some other machine. But he did get to test the Thursday before PIR in an attempt to graduate on time.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 27, 2011 at 9:17pm: sandy, my son said that in boot camp they are allowed to try for the run everyday. Unless things have changed. It has been a year since my son was in boot.

My son said that he had inspections and some tests on Saturday. Maybe this was due to the fact that there were over 12 divisions going through boot at once. He said that it was very hectic trying to get things completed.

Comment by keger2001 on July 27, 2011 at 8:49pm: HM I am so glad she gets to run again tomorrow, I was under the impression she was doing the M_W_F thing, that is awesome! Praying for her and you!

Comment by diannep on July 27, 2011 at 8:33pm: Oh, ok, HM Ruth. I thought she had run Mon and then again today. But she gets to try again tomorrow, so that's great! I have a suggestion. Go on the PIR group...send a message to all members via the "Send Message to Group" prompt up top on that page--- with her name. I'm sure that there are many ladies who would love to give your daughter hugs if she is at PIR on Friday!
