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."

You need to be a member of ALUMNI OF PIR 08/31/2012 TG 42 — 12 Divisions (269–278, 818 & 942) to add comments!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 10:46am: nursecat: When you get back from PIR, can you change the title of this group to "Alumni of PIR 08/31/2012". We like to keep the alumni groups separate from the active PIR groups. And....it means that each of you is now a N4Moms veteran so feel free to help out on the PIR groups going through now!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 8:08am: Hope some are in PIR hall now! Enjoy this wonderful day!

Ok, Brandon. Glad it will work out!

Comment by BrandonDIV267 on August 31, 2012 at 5:09am: Thank you diannep....its ok...I don't need it....My son graduated last friday but is still there..due to Hurricane..we are going up there this weekend and are going to pick him up just thought it would be easier....but he is just going to walk out the gate...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 31, 2012 at 4:37am: Congratulations to all the new Sailors. Enjoy PIR and have a blessed reunion with your Sailors!

Comment by diannep on August 30, 2012 at 8:10pm: Brandon: I don't have it and the ladies really aren't supposed to share that, but if you take a hotel shuttle to PIR, you don't need the gate pass. Also, if you drive to PIR and park at the train station next to RTC, you can walk right next door to RTC and won't need it then either. It is only for vehicles on base.

Comment by BrandonDIV267 on August 30, 2012 at 5:42pm: Hello Ladies. Could someone please message me the password for the vehicle pass for tomorrows PIR. Thank you!

Comment by Jennifer G on August 30, 2012 at 3:40pm: Congratulations Moms!!!

Comment by navygrand12 on August 30, 2012 at 11:37am: Safe Travel to Everyone today....... Have fun at the Meet and Greets tonight. It is almost here I can't believe it....... So exciting and just wonderful..... See everyone tomorrow at the Graduation for all the New Sailors YAHOO !!!!!!!!

Comment by diannep on August 30, 2012 at 8:25am: Safe travel today, ladies.

Don't forget the MeetandGreets tonight!

Also, please leave your hotels EARLY tomorrow for PIR. This is a fairly large group and there will be traffic and lines (remember your ID!). So try and be in the car line by 6, or on a shuttle by 6:30. You can take snacks with you, etc to pass the time, but there is some pre-ceremony activity going on in there to watch. Most importantly...enjoy!

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on August 30, 2012 at 7:34am: Just think, in a little over 24 hours, we will be sitting in the stands waiting to watch our Sailors march into the hall. How exciting. I'm sure that tomorrow can't come soon enough!!

To all of those families that are traveling today, take care and have a safe trip.
