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."

WELCOME TO PIR 10/12/2012

OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by mommaross CVN77 on October 11, 2012 at 7:56am: Great Lakes bound for me and my daughter - can't wait to meet everyone at Sarge's tonight. Excited for PIR tomorrow - so proud of all our Sailors. Thanks FTLW, Dianne, Lala, Craig and my new Navy family - so happy to be a part of this movement :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 11, 2012 at 4:11am: Congratulations again to ALL of the new Sailors of TG 48!

Safe travels to you all and have a wonderful time at your Meet and Greets tomorrow!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 11, 2012 at 4:10am: rebecca0993 - Gate 8 to RTC opens at 6:30 AM. They like all guests to be seated by 8:45 and they will start promptly by 9Am or a little before. PIR ends at 10:30 AM and you will have about 15 minutes to clear the PIR hall after that wonderful call for "Liberty".

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 11, 2012 at 3:27am: The 900 Division needs to be through by Tuesday as they have to perform/perform duties at PIR. They want them rested. :-) Since they do not usually have a Brother division the 800 went with them.

Comment by ellen0502 on October 11, 2012 at 2:18am: If your SR is staying in GL for A School, don't forget to keep your gate pass with you. You may be able to drive your SAILOR (what a great word) back on to base with that pass (your sailor must be with you though).

Have a grand weekend!
