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 chinadoll19 on October 28, 2011 at 1:26pm: browns57, she won't be living until after graduation on May 2012. She is in high school righ now. Glad that you mentioned this. I have a friend that would like to see her graduate from the Navy now my family can get in they have Military ID we are all coming from diffrent States.One of family was a retired Navy Officer so they have sticker and ID to show. But she has more than 4 guest. well figure something out before she go. Thank you so much. - Chinadoll

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 28, 2011 at 1:02pm: chinadoll19 - Your daughter will address an envelope to someone back home, that is where the form letter will be sent. It will have alot of info in the letter, her address at GL and the ship # & Div, there will also be a password that you will need when time comes to print your gate pass for PIR. She will list the names of 4 guest and she is the only one that can change the list. I would talked to her before she leaves if she hasn't already left.

Comment by chinadoll19 on October 28, 2011 at 12:48pm: This is something I have to ask before my daugther go to boot camp, her dad remarry so am I now we are more than 4. Thanks for the info brons57.

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 28, 2011 at 12:30pm: sailor4her - There were 13 Divs that graduated when my son had PIR, there were 6 of us who went knowing that 2 would have to wait & see if they could get in, we were in luck because we received our last letter from our son on Wednesday before and he was able to add our two extras to two other guys list in his Div that didn't have 4 guest. My son is in Meridan now.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on October 28, 2011 at 12:17pm: sailor4her- the only thing about big families is that they only allow 4 per recruit at PIR...

Comment by chinadoll19 on October 28, 2011 at 8:28am: Thank you ladies:-)

Comment by Maria ( 9/132 - HM- 04-2011) on October 28, 2011 at 7:55am: Chinadoll welcome

Sailor4her, the first few weeks are tough as there is no communication. Once you receive that 1st letter it gets better.
