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 PIR 06/15/2012 TG 31

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 Sailors/Recruits 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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 14, 2012 at 5:28pm: HELP!!

I have a Mission Impossible for you Folks on this PIR group...our wonderful Retired Navy Member on here...Craig... needs some info. He runs the NavyDEP.com site and puts out some great help.

Your Mission...should you choose to accept it is:

He needs to know the Identification of the two Buildings in the Rectangle with the arrow pointing to them. The numbers are 1313 and 1314. Please make sure to note the names with the numbers...which one is in front and which is in back.

You can right click on the Photo and Save it in your Computer.

BTW...the area on the Photo that says "Parking Lot Graduation" is incorrect. This is the Chapel Parking Lot and is across the compound from the Drill Hall (see the Bottom of the PIC) To the Drill Halls left you will see the Visitors Center in Green...to it's left will be the Parking Garage for PIR. The Red Dot at Gate 8 is where you enter off of OHIO for PIR.

This message will self destruct in five seconds...

J/K...I'm also going to make this a Discussion for those that post a response. Thank you!
