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 6:58pm: Glad to know I'm not totally crazy!! ha! Ok will do on Fb'ing the info to the RTC thanks yall!

Comment by CTmomof3 on May 30, 2011 at 6:51pm: Pam T, you understand correctly and I'm sure that the hotels do not know of the time change but DO know of the 100th celebration. Week after week for years things have been the same most of the time Maybe RTC should contact the hotels in the area...they know the ones. that most people use and inform them of the change in time......Angie what's your opinion???. From my experience in the past the hotels try to be accommodating but this is huge.

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 30, 2011 at 6:28pm: Ok I got a question and perhaps it's more I'm confused and misunderstood something (which is not usual since I'm getting OLD haha).. The July 1st PIR is the anniversary of the Naval station so there is alot of special celebration going on. My packet I received said gates open at 4:30 am and that is not the 'norm' for the times for most of the other PIR's... just this one since it's special celebrations. In making reservations at hotels that offer the shuttle service, we are asking if they are changing the times for their shuttle to accomodate for the earlier time.. and all of them act 'clueless'...Do these hotels not know the info that this is the 100th celebration and times will be different, or am I not understanding things correctly?

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 30, 2011 at 6:04pm: I believe the Ramada from 6-8pm the night before PIR. please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I am at the navy lodge and will have my car and can fit 4 more.. so if anyone at the Navy Lodge needs a ride message me!

Comment by Pam T 09/213 on May 30, 2011 at 6:00pm: ok.. when and where is this meet n greet? I gotta meet some of you ladies!

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on May 30, 2011 at 5:31pm: Angie, is that you? Will you come to the Meet & Greet? We definitely have some great and funny characters in this group!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 30, 2011 at 5:27pm: I write sappy love letters. He says they are his favorite to get because he needs to remember why he is doing this haha. I tell him about things going on, what I did today, the dogs, and then just how much I love him. I write a full page every day, but have started doing two cause he asked for more.
