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 Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on January 10, 2010 at 2:39pm: Stephanie1591, The hotels in the area are wonderful. I stayed at the Navy Lodge for my first PIR and I just got home today from my second one. I stayed in the Residence Suites. Both hotels were good.
I am from Dallas, and don't like to drive, so I flew to Milwaukee.
The PIR starts at about 9:00 AM, but you need to get there before 7:30 to ensure you go through security and can get a good seat. Most hotels offer a shuttle to and from the PIR for a small fee per person. I drove the first time, but didn't want to drive in all the traffic and the snow, so I took the shuttle.
If you have not yet made your hotel reservation, you might want to do that as soon as possible. Most hotels fill up for PIR.
Good luck, and please ask if you have any questions. Someone will have the answer!

Comment by Cindy D on January 9, 2010 at 11:03pm: LuvMySailor - Yes, I think if I were you I would visit a doctor so you can gets some meds so they can start to kick in and you will feel better by PIR.

Comment by mother always on January 9, 2010 at 6:44am: CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL NEW SAILORS!!!!!
MAY GO BLESS THEM AND BE WITH ALL !!!!

Comment by Cindy D on January 9, 2010 at 12:56am: Thanks to those who waved and sent hugs to our boys marching. I'm sure they felt it.
Should we wait on base for our sailors or wait for them to call? I am assuming they are able to use the phones on base to call us right? Are we able to go to the NEX store while we are on base?

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on January 9, 2010 at 12:19am: When I go back on base tomorrow, I will look for more recruits! I will give them all a hug from ya'll!
