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 Barbara on September 26, 2010 at 8:50pm: I'll be coming from OK. Yes let's pray for warm and sunny. I don't mind the snow but here we always get ice before snow. I'll be driving so let's keep those prayers going that the sunshine God will be among us.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on September 26, 2010 at 8:36pm: @Barbara The weather in the Chicago area for November could be warm and sunny, rain and chilly, cold and snowy!! We are in Michigan and we have what they have a day or two later!! I am going to pray for warm and sunny!!! Where will you be coming from?

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 26, 2010 at 8:10pm: Thanks Barbara! I'm glad you like the weather forecast, it was a "shared" idea from another mom....

Comment by Barbara on September 26, 2010 at 7:53pm: The weather forecast is great! Some people are amazing. I was wondering what kind of weather we can expect the second week in November in Great Lakes.

Comment by Barbara on September 26, 2010 at 7:50pm: Jessica, can you tell me about how many recruits go through PIR for each scheduled date?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 26, 2010 at 7:36pm: Just a word about the keel, we received ours in less than 6 weeks. The dvd arrived in about 4 weeks.

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 26, 2010 at 11:29am: Welcome Kelly! Also, if you click on the View All button you'll see a Discussion Group already set up for your Ship/Div.... I'm not sure how many members are there yet but it's a good place to start

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 26, 2010 at 10:51am: Just booked my hotel reservation....now I'm just hoping I get the good news like Sharon did that my son's PIR really is the 12th like I've been planning!

Nola gave me a great tip on hotel, the Residence Inn is running a special on weekend rates - $63 a night and they offer transportation to the RTC for $6.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on September 26, 2010 at 10:22am: Hi everyone. We received our son's info yesterday and found out that he will PIR on the 12th and NOT the 19th like we thought! We are doing a Michigan Happy Dance on this end. He is on Ship 11 div 369!!! Glad to meet ya'll!

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 26, 2010 at 8:16am: Lynne - Thanks for pitching in and helping with this group! I greatly appreciate at.

And as point in fact - I received my first true letter from my son on Friday this week. It probably all has to do with how far away you live from RTC. We all just have to be as patient as possible and wait for the pony to stop at our mailbox with the good news!
