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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 10, 2015 at 2:38am: QUESTION:

A little help please... I am getting weird stuff from MapQuest and the GPS on my phone about OHIO STREET entrance for PIR. It won't direct me to there off of Buckley.

If you remember and can tell me, did you enter RTC from OHIO Street (GATE 8) or ILLINOIS Street (Gate 6)?

Ohio is one street after Illinois off of Buckley. Ohio is closer to Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall. Illinois is on the NEX side of Base.

Thank you for any help. I am updating my info and want to make sure it is correct.
