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 the Division Discussion for Divisions 169 and 170.

These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.

Get to know each other, your SRs are!

Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.

Every single question that is asked is important Every single concern is genuine Every single member is important to us We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.

Hang in there!!!

Hello! My son will also be going to Pensacola after PIR. From what I read they should have liberty until around 7:00pm the day of graduation, then report back to base to fly out the next day. I am not positive but have found this same info in a few different places, so I am hoping it is accurate!

Can anyone tell me anything they may have heard about The Ramada Inn? If it's a clean Hotel?

 

I had a res there but just cancelled it. I reserved at Americas Best. Cheaper than Ramada's Navy rate. Americans Best has free shuttle service to RTC.

Our Son is Ship 13 Div. 169. looking to make a Reservation ,possible Ramada Inn, saw mixed reviews.

my son is also ship 13, div 169, going to nuke school for A school

Our son is staying in the Great Lakes, A School , I read that he will be checking in right after graduation and can take 3-5 hrs.

 

Hi, my son is SHIP13 DIV 170, it will be great getting to know you all while we anxiously await PIR. Sad that we only get 4 tickets for this celebration though.  His A school is in Fort Sam Houston Texas.
