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."

Good morning! We won't be able to make the M&G the night before PIR due to other obligations, but is it still possible to take the shuttle the morning of PIR? And if so, do we just meet at one of the hotels listed here? We are staying at the Navy Lodge
