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 05/13/2011-TG 26 — 8 Divisions (167–172, 810 & 926) to add comments!

Comment by diannep on May 6, 2011 at 5:18pm: itsmemom: She may be waiting for you to pay for them when you arrive for PIR. You pay for them in the NEX afterwards.

We usually advise that you all not write letters this close to PIR...UNLESS you make copies of them and take those with you to PIR in case they didn't receive the originals. They supposedly forward the mail to the sailors, but we know of many whose mail never arrived. So take copies with you.

posters/banners for your sailor can be proudly displayed in your hotel room! I agree with Jessica....they don't like them at PIR and may take them from you.

Also, remember...take piks quickly after PIR in the PIR Hall...they will clear the hall within about 10 minutes. AND...there are absolutely NO piks allowed outside of the Hall on the base. This is very much enforced and they will take your camera and delete. So please remember! Can you tell that I FORGOT when there and if not for a kind lady walking by, would have been in trouble! :-(

Congrats to all of the new sailors today!

Comment by itsmemom on May 6, 2011 at 4:58pm: HOw do you know if they paid for their pictures? I am wondering if my SR ordered them. I can see her bank acct. as of yesterday there are no charges.

Comment by itsmemom on May 6, 2011 at 4:55pm: I sent a letter today, hopefully she gets it. But, we live in Michigan--and she is staying in GL after. I can't wait until her BS----next Monday/Tues. very excited-so happy for your Sailors! PIR is in 1 week ;-)

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on May 6, 2011 at 4:52pm: congratulations everyone! Is anyone still going to write letters? I know since its the last week things are sort of closing up & getting ready for graduation! I dont know if I should wirte anymore ?

Comment by michelle c on May 6, 2011 at 4:41pm: Congratulations to all they new sailors.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 6, 2011 at 4:36pm: So proud of our boys :)

Comment by NavyGirlfriend19 on May 6, 2011 at 4:32pm: My boyfriend's officially a Sailor! So proud of him!

Comment by Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on May 6, 2011 at 4:15pm: Just heard from my son! He's officially a Sailor! I actually got a message on my phone from Facebook that it was really him! I'm So Proud of Him!! 6 Days and Counting!!!

Comment by Duane K Scarlett's Dad on May 6, 2011 at 4:15pm: Does anyone know if we can bring flags and posters to graduation in support of our SR's??

Comment by Duane K Scarlett's Dad on May 6, 2011 at 4:10pm: My daughter celebrates Mother's Day (she has a son) by going through Battlestations... then her 21st birthday is the Monday after- she gets to rest up after having gone through Battlestations! LOL... what a way to enter adulthood!

6 Days to go.....
