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 samsNavygil on July 25, 2011 at 7:09am: On my SR's contract, it says he gets 72 hours for liberty after PIR. Since his PIR is 9/1. When would he leave?

Comment by samsNavygil on July 25, 2011 at 6:59am: Anybody who's SR is on 12/285? I would love to hear from you guys!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 24, 2011 at 10:21pm: Most of them will get 10 days leave after the graduate from A-school and if they come home they can work with their recruiter for 5 of the 10 days and only use 5 day of leave by doing so. The have to get the paperwork filled out while in A-school and get it signed off by the recruiter and take it to their next place whether it be C-school or their first duty station.

If anyone has a recruit who will be an AO, Aviation Ordnanceman, let me know. That is what my daugher is so I am a lot more familiar with that rate than i am the others.

Comment by diannep on July 24, 2011 at 7:49pm: Yes, I believe that Sparkeys is correct. It used to be that they didn't move the GL sailors over there right away...so they had liberty with all others who stayed at RTC. But then they decided to move them over to A School right away, but to continue to have their liberty. Not the same at the other A Schools...although....remember....they are flying, so they are kind of on their own. In my son's case, there were delays out of Ohare with his flight and they missed their connection in Atlanta. Delta put them up in a hotel overnight...uh oh...a bunch of them on their way to Meridian MS. So they actually were on their own there in Atlanta. I do believe that one in the group was assigned as the "leader" so it wasn't like all hell broke loose...I think they were good!

Comment by diannep on July 24, 2011 at 4:35pm: In one of the PIR groups, they ordered a birthday cake and had it at the MeetNGreet the night before PIR to celebrate and in honor of all of the birthdays that happened when their SRs were in bc. Of course, the sailors weren't there, but they said it was nice to celebrate that with the other ladies who had also missed birthdays with their SRs. Just a thought...

Comment by Proud Mama on July 24, 2011 at 3:38pm: got my first ''letter" on Thursday - bout four lines --was still great to get it! - Ship 11 USS Kearsarge Div 282 -- she will turn 23 during BC --

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 24, 2011 at 10:52am: jsc11123114, ((Hugs)) to you.

Comment by ochaos on July 23, 2011 at 9:40pm: If driving from Chicago, allow extra time for traffic, etc. better to be in line at 6:30 than sitting in traffic worrying that you may be late. I have heard of it taking up to 2 or more hours if traffic is bad to get to GL. One of the reasons to allow extra time when driving, better to be way early than be rushed.

Comment by ochaos on July 23, 2011 at 9:37pm: Definitely get there early to get good seats. I arrived at 7:10 and there were already tons of people there.

They will have signs up showing where your division will stand and sometimes they are off a tad bit, this will be a big group but there is a great deal of seating.

Comment by diannep on July 23, 2011 at 8:13pm: Our story is the same as Betsy's--also from Residence. Would do it the same way again! "Early bird gets the worm", you know? :-)
