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."

Ok- magoostersmom and carafid, here's the skinny on PIR 4 u guys!! Wear comfy shoes-I made the mistake of wearing a new pair of heels. U r gonna b walking!! If u r driving there, when u get 2 where u turn right into the rtc, get in left lane and bypass the HUGE line of traffic, go past rtc, do a u turn. Then turn left right into the rtc. U will bypass everybody else. We left our hotel at 6:15 am. That way we beat all the shuttles. (The waiting in the drill hall went FAST!!) Best place 2 sit is against wall on lower level in front of ur div. after the ceremony the NEX is crazy!!! We had better luck doing our shopping when we dropped our sailor back off. If u r going 2 airport with sailor, meet him/her at USO, bring ur id. Sailor will walk u 2 gate and u will get ur gate pass there. Bring photo is. Have fun, congratulations!!!!- and get ready 4 another roller coaster of emotions!!!
