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 11/09/2012!

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 November 2, 2012 at 11:28am: Welcome, Dakota's mom. Glad you found the group!

Comment by karens (alumni ship 13-Div 366) on November 2, 2012 at 10:30am: Navy Sisters, I know from 365 & 366, (my Sr is 366) are all awaiting our "I'm a Sailor calls today. I will ask my SR (hopefully Sailor) if the whole division passed but do not want to post that, so as not to take the joy of that call away from anyone, but I will post when I get a call and if you want to know the division results private message me and I will tell you whatever I know. God Bless, hang in there we are almost there! Our SRs have worked so hard for this and believe they deserve to tell their loved ones the news. Hang on to your phones! Navy Sister Hugs to all!
