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."

Irina, Could your SR have sent the form letter to someone else? You can ask your son for the password for the parking pass when he calls you. If he doesn't know it he can ask someone from his division for it. You can only get it from your SR, it cannot be shared.

Thank you, Ellen! I'll ask him next time he calls. Hopefully i won't miss his call:(

There is not an "invitation" sent out, the only thing you will have received about guests and PIR was the form letter. Make sure to let your SR know who is coming and do it soon. They will have one opportunity to change the names for PIR, and that chance is coming very very very soon.

Thank you.. Do I understand correctly that as long as our names are on the list we will be permitted to the grounds and will be able to attend the graduation?

Hi Everyone,
I changed my reservation to The Navy Lodge. Anyone else staying there? We are flying in on Wednesday night and attending Sarge's Meet and Greet. I also rented a car so I can bring 2 people to the meet and greet if you didn't rent a car.
Thanks, Karen -
