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."

You need to be a member of PIR 05/26/11 TG 28 — 7 Divisions (179–184 & 928) to add comments!

Comment by diannep on April 12, 2011 at 4:21pm: BFAir: The correct statement from RTC is that only those going over to Great Lakes A School after PIR are GradNGo. They claim that all others flying out are not called that. They are called Saturday or Sunday Departures. I don't know if they still hold some of the sailors flying out until the following week (they used to) but if so, they aren't called anything that I'm aware of.

Yes, the GradNGo's to GL A School do get the weekends with family once they finish moving over there. Last weekend, some were surprised with overnight stays...which RTC had just eliminated in March. Go figure. These were the corpsmen who had the overnights....so not sure what made RTC change their minds on this and don't know if the overnights will continue.

The confusion comes with the RDCs still telling the SRs that they are GradNGo when they are flying out. I see it on the PIR boards all of the time...

and OMG, I wish that RTC FB staff would get RTC personnel dealing with the SRS in line with all of the terminology. THAT is where the confusion is.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 12, 2011 at 4:08pm: Cait, I did double check and see on the RTC FB that the PIR date is 5/26.

Comment by CRF230dad on April 12, 2011 at 2:54pm: Hey laurelbc you better change the PIR date for this group and your clock. LOL

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 12, 2011 at 2:50pm: Search for "U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command" and you will find the FB page...of course search on FB not this site :o)

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on April 12, 2011 at 2:43pm: wai what FB pictures? Where are they? I want to see them!

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on April 12, 2011 at 2:42pm: Are we sure that it was moved up to May 26th? Trying to plan and i am so confused lol

Comment by CRF230dad on April 12, 2011 at 2:28pm: Even though PIR is now on the 26th the SRs leaving for A school out of state will fly out Friday instead of Saturday. No extra liberty for them... :^( My son's letter FINALLY came yesterday, so glad! He said he made leading recruit petty officer for his division 181, ship 11. We are so proud, cannot wait for PIR. GO NAVY!

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 12, 2011 at 2:06pm: Be sure to look at the new photos on the FB page...there are 2 from today!! My RC isnt in any of them, but that is ok. I love to see the pics anyways!!
