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 PIR 06/22/2012

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 mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 3, 2012 at 10:19pm: Jessica B - 2 a.m.? What time is that to leave for the airport? Maybe we should just cancel those hotel reservations for Friday night and stay in the airport? This is definitely going to take some getting used to......The recruiter did tell our SR that the Navy was notorious for getting their guys to the airport with PLENTY of time to spare (usually 8 hours or so). :) Well....no sense worrying about it now - we'll get the scoop at PIR! 49 days and counting!

Comment by Elena[Ship-3/Div-190] on May 3, 2012 at 10:12pm: thanks diannep!

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2012 at 9:53pm: Elena: I put a small amount of plane/hotel info on the page before this one. Just remember....anyone needing "suite" hotels...those fill up pretty fast, especially in the summer with the theme park nearby. Your form letters should contain some hotel info.

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2012 at 9:51pm: mumof4: They can fly out of either Midway or Ohare....

Welcome, Elena.

Remember to check out Southwest Airlines....no change fee, 2 bags checked for free. They fly into Milwaukee and Midway. Milwaukee is usually cheaper, less traffic.

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 3, 2012 at 7:37pm: Does anyone know when they fly out to A school if they fly out of OHare or Midway? My husband wants to know so he can plan his strategy for going to meet our SR at the airport when he leaves.

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on May 3, 2012 at 7:26pm: For those of you who haven't booked a flight yet, my recommendation that came from my Dad who is an Air Traffic Controller said to fly into Milwaukee because traffic won't be as bad. Also check hotwire for both a flight and a rental car. I found a flight for myself, son and a rental car from thursday June 21-June 25 for around $600.00. Just thought I might share this with ya'll

Comment by mumof4 (ship 02, div 932) on May 3, 2012 at 7:26pm: Got the official letter today - One step closer to 49 days and counting!

Comment by Elena[Ship-3/Div-190] on May 3, 2012 at 5:59pm: hello! =) i'm a girlfriend, and it'll only be his younger brother who is 13 and I attending his graduation...nervous...now i have to figure out flights, hotels, car rentals...suggestions on websites? so new to all of this...and i mean booking flights and all that
