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 Pam T 09/213 on May 30, 2011 at 9:02pm: Mom... we are driving from Texas over a 2 day trip. Planning on doing the brunt of the trip the 1st day (staying in Effingham) then driving the last few hrs. the day before PIR,,,, just so we can get rested up and ready for the BIG DAY! The 4:30am gate opening will be coming REAL early... I'm already planning a coffee IV for that morning!!

Comment by mominva on May 30, 2011 at 8:53pm: Wish I could make the meet and greet, sounds like great fun. Unfortunately we don't get in to Chicago until like 9pm. So we will miss it all. I'll be there for PIR on 7/1/11 with bells on though. See you there!

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 30, 2011 at 8:52pm: woohoo!! my blonde roots weren't showing then?!?!?! haha wipes brow... thanks Clairol!

Comment by diannep on May 30, 2011 at 8:49pm: Ok, never mind Some people set up the MeetNGreet on the calendar where you can RSVP, but it doesn't matter. The Ramada guesstimates how many will attend, so no need to really RSVP. Just show up! All ages are included!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 30, 2011 at 8:44pm: I think we just show up. that was my plan anyway haha. Now I'm wondering if we have to rsvp!

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 30, 2011 at 8:42pm: Ok,, perhaps I'm showing my 'blonde roots' under the red hair.. but I don't see an RSVP feature for the June 30th meet n greet.. or do we call the hotel and RSVP?

Comment by diannep on May 30, 2011 at 8:16pm: Ok, katiesmom: I have that song in my head now....

Comment by diannep on May 30, 2011 at 8:16pm: The MeetNGreet is on the calendar on the right. Just click on Thurs, June 30th, and it comes up. You all can RSVP there just to have an approximate number of how many will attend from this group. It is open to all attending PIR the next day, not just N4Moms.

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 30, 2011 at 7:42pm: Ok, I got the answer from RTC... here it is:

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command Though the gates will open at 4:30 a.m., guests have until 7:45 a.m. to get onto the base which gives the hotels plenty of time to shuttle their guests. We cannot possibly notify the untold number of hotels in the radius of the base regarding the earlier gate time. Plus, it would be unfair to the hotels we did not contact because we do not have an accurate or complete list of area hotels.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on May 30, 2011 at 7:32pm: Angie, I get it. You still HELP our Sailors and that's all that's important.

Please come visit us with your hubby and whoever else is important. I'll buy you and yours a drink :-> You are here teaching us and for that alone I am grateful.

Party!
