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 Krista K on July 18, 2012 at 2:43pm: purplegiraffe keep your chin up! No news IS good news and boot camp is all about issues that they need to work out and get resolved - that his how they grow up into men! Have faith, think happy thoughts and all will be good sister.

Comment by bvealellis ( Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 18, 2012 at 9:15am: Good morning everyone! Do anyone know if there are wheelchairs at PIR. I will be 8 months pregnant and I won't be able to do alot of walking or sit on the bleachers for a long time. Having to be push around in a wheelchair will be awkward but it's for our little miracle on the way :).
