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 11/02/2012

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 diannep on October 2, 2012 at 8:23am: Good Morning all!

Comment by diannep on October 2, 2012 at 8:19am: They can have a black or silver watch....not gold (for officers). Other than that, they can't take anything back to RTC. You can get them anything else you want to, but they can't have it on RTC. You will have to give it to them at the airport or once they have moved over to GL base and returned from liberty there.

Comment by Debs(ship09,div358) on October 1, 2012 at 10:57pm: Thanks, Diannep. We've heard the Sarge's is the best one, but we'll probably try to get to two of them.

Besides a coin for our SR at graduation, any other suggestions on graduation gifts?

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2012 at 9:40pm: Debs: Sarge's is the best for food and info! So I would try and make his. Not too far from the Ramada.

Comment by Debs(ship09,div358) on October 1, 2012 at 9:15pm: Hi, everybody. My SR is graduating 11/2/12 and I'm trying to figure out the best meet and greet to go to. We're actually staying at the Ramada but it sounds like there's others we should try to get to.

Comment by Chris67 on October 1, 2012 at 8:24pm: My son also is Ship 12, Div.362
