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."

Just a couple of miles from base. They normally share a cab to get their things.

Comment by MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on October 16, 2010 at 9:26am: Good news. My SR said if 358 flag for their inspections they get a phone call today or early next week!!!

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on October 16, 2010 at 7:48am: Rem if grad and go but not A school at GL you can go to airport and normal spend more time with and gave the backpack with cell,laptop and civi clothes then. DON'T forget the chargers too:-) Normally whole Div is G&G or not, but don't bet the farm, its still the Navy.

Comment by gabbyhat on October 15, 2010 at 11:31pm: Got a letter,apostcard and 2 questionaires...enjoying herseif...loved marlinstrike...smoked her PFT according to her... missing her family...can't wait for PIR...all in all, a great day. still no notice if Grad and Go....she's in div-362(is SpecOps)

Comment by Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 15, 2010 at 10:42pm: anybody in division 362 know if their SR is a grad and go yet??

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2010 at 7:45pm: TrayaLovesJohn: There are no "tickets" for PIR. They go by the names on the form letter...but with proper ID, extras usually get in. Can your dad wear his uniform? They love it when the retirees come in uniform and may get some special treatment!

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2010 at 7:43pm: MJS: They can be GradNGo to Great Lakes A School ...or not. IF he is GradNGo, he will say goodbye to you after PIR for 3-5 hours as he moves everything over to the A School base. Then he can call you (with his phone card....no cell yet) to meet him. He possibly would get overnight liberty with you then for the weekend. When he returns to the A School base, he can have his cell and laptop.

If he is NOT GradNGo over to GL A School, then you take him with you after PIR for liberty, and he is under RTC rules...which means, back each night, can't take anything back to base with him. If you leave town before he is moved to A School base, you may want to rent a locker at Lock and Go in town there to hold his cell and laptop until he moves and can get them (the sailors usually share a cab to go retrieve these once on the base).

Hope this helps!

Comment by MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on October 15, 2010 at 7:10pm: You can be a grad n go and stay in gl. From what I have read the majority or Srs staying in GL are in fact grad n gos
