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 AshJewell on November 23, 2010 at 1:58pm: How big is each division?

Comment by NS on November 23, 2010 at 1:40pm: Vanessa- I agree I was so excited when I saw it was posted finally! 51 days =]

Karla- I think it may make it a little bit longer but I'm sure not too much longer. Either way the ceremony is beautiful and we will get to see our sailors as soon as it is over!

Comment by Vanessa on November 23, 2010 at 1:22pm: I am so happy it is posted under "upcoming graduations"! I have been checking every day. For some reason, it makes it feel closer to know that it can be considered "upcoming". Lol.

Comment by Karla~ (S 12 D 042 - PIR 1/14) on November 23, 2010 at 12:48pm: 11 divisions! I think I'm glad I made our reservations way early! Does having more divisions make for a longer ceremony? It should be pretty cool to see!

Comment by NS on November 23, 2010 at 12:35pm: 14 is completely massive! I don't even know what that would look like. when my brother had his PIR there were only 8 divisions and that looked amazing to see all of them in uniform. Can't imagine what 11 or 14 would look like!.

Comment by AshJewell on November 23, 2010 at 12:32pm: Navyfam-I actually do have that book, it's my baby bible! Thats a good idea. Thanks

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2010 at 12:31pm: NS: They actually have 14 divisions sometimes. That was the 9/2 PIR group recently. But 11 divisions is a good-sized group!

Comment by Karla~ (S 12 D 042 - PIR 1/14) on November 23, 2010 at 12:30pm: Anyone else in this PIR with recruits headed to Defense Language Institute in Monterey?

Comment by navyfam on November 23, 2010 at 12:17pm: Ash-do you have the book : What to Expect When You Are Expecting? If so maybe you can look up where you are in your pregnancy and write it from that perspective; ie. my heart is beating and my fingernails have just now formed, and I am x inches long.... Just a thought I am not the most creative person but just an idea.

Comment by NS on November 23, 2010 at 12:11pm: Just checked the site that lists how many divisions will be at the 1/14 PIR. There are 11. I think that's the biggest they get. Just thought I'd let everyone know that it is finally up there!

It's kind of exciting to see that it's up there already! 51 days <3
