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 Mom2kyfan on May 13, 2011 at 9:02pm: Dr Kimber they requested 3 different times during the grad today to NOT go to the airport, in fact my son told us to PLEASE not to do this as they were specifically briefed about it. But then again after some of the things I saw today by some family members I am sure everyone knows more than their sailors. =(

Comment by Dr.Kimber on May 13, 2011 at 7:29pm: Thanks, JessicaB. I had already planned on it because I have stuff to give him to take, but I just wasn't sure how we got past security.

Comment by Dr.Kimber on May 13, 2011 at 6:51pm: Hello All. We had a great time at PIR and now I have a question? Can we meet our SR at the airport in the morning and stay with him until his flight leaves? How do we get past security? Please help as I'm getting ready to take him back to RTC. Thanks.

Comment by Valtameri on May 13, 2011 at 12:11pm: Congratulations!

Comment by Valtameri on May 12, 2011 at 10:11pm: Our PIR was last weekend -- there were 12 divisions with a total of 908 graduates, security was heightened, and it wasn't bad at all. Yes, if you drive in, there is a long wait to get onto the base (we were in line for an hour) but once there, it is very smooth ... after all, they do this every week! The shuttles take a slightly different route and the passengers get out and walk onto base, so they don't wait in the long line. I saw lots of recruits waiting with wheelchairs for those who needed them. Everything was well done and went smoothly. Make sure you have proper identification -- registration and insurance if driving onto base, photo ID, birth certificates for children ...

Comment by nytesail on May 12, 2011 at 5:37pm: We are here and all checked in. I thought we were staying at the Navy Lodge and we sort of are but it is called the Navy Gateway Inn and Suites! Our suite is just that!

Recruits are everywhere and I can hardly picture my son in his ?fatigues?. We are headed to dinner at the Sammuel Adams lodge next door at then we will se you at the Meet & Greet! If not there at PIR tomorrow!

Comment by diannep on May 12, 2011 at 4:21pm: I would suggest that all try to arrive at PIR between 7-7:30. Closer to 7 would be better. Take the 6:30 shuttles if you can; if driving, be in the line by 6 at the latest.

ENJOY! It is wonderful! We are proud of your sailors!

Comment by michelle c on May 12, 2011 at 12:58pm: We are about half way there! Getting very excited to meet everyone.

Comment by jdmom on May 12, 2011 at 11:24am: On the way!!!!!

Comment by judyb on May 12, 2011 at 11:17am: ON OUR WAY!! See you all there!! Please don't leave the meet and greet early! We are arriving in MKE at 6:00pm.. by the time we get a car, and drive, we may get there right near the end. If not, see you bright and early Fri. at PIR
