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."

Welcome To PIR: 03/30/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by MSmom on March 28, 2012 at 1:52pm: Liberty is called at the end of the ceremony about 11 am. If you sailor is not staying in great lakes for a school they can go with you immediately. If they are staying in great lakes for a school you will have just a few minutes and then they will have to go across to the other base for Indoc. You can then pick them up around three pm at the other base.

Comment by ktrsb CVN-75 on March 28, 2012 at 1:39pm: @ ILoveMySailor/Fiance-11/105 - Correction - not SR, Sailor!

Comment by ktrsb CVN-75 on March 28, 2012 at 1:38pm: @ ILoveMySailor/Fiance-11/105 - Liberty after PIR depends on where your SR is going to "A" School. If they are attending A school at Great Lakes, they start processing into A school almost immediately after PIR, so they will have to leave shortly after PIR to begin that process. It can take up to 5 hours so you may or may not get much time on Friday with your SR. All SRs neeed to be back in barracks Friday night. However, if you can stay the weekend, you should get time with your SR on Saturday and Sunday, but not overnight.

If your SR is going somewhere else for A school, you will have the afternoon after PIR, but your SR will have to return to barracks that evening. They will be transported by the Navy to the airport on Saturday, and you can meet them there and stay with them at the gate until their flight leaves.

Comment by OldSarge on March 28, 2012 at 1:29pm: Big meet and greet tomorrow. Please pass on the world I have purchased enough food for 200 people
