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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 7, 2010 at 1:14pm: They didn't ask us for ID's either at the gate, inside they did. They did ask for the pass at the gate, maybe if you take a shuttle from the hotel then you may not need it. Will his family not help you get in? They do pick some cars and do random checks to make sure you have everything you are supposed to have. Once in the gate I don't think it will be a problem to get into PIR. I haven't heard of anyone who didn't get in once they waited for everyone else who was on the list.

Comment by Trayalovesjohn on October 7, 2010 at 1:14pm: They suggest you just take a shuttle or cab if you don't really need your car b/c parking takes a long time

Comment by Trayalovesjohn on October 7, 2010 at 1:10pm: Mjs where are you staying?

Comment by Trayalovesjohn on October 7, 2010 at 1:09pm: I received 2 letters yesterday, he even stuck a letter to my sister in my envelope with instructions that I was not suppose to read it. He's up to something, it was so hard not to peek but he even put "Traya I mean it!" On the outside Lol, I miss him so much. His division has to sing a song about a little fishy named Tiny Tim, whenever they do their swimmer exercises,during their "beatings". Its pretty hilarious has anyone else heard about Tiny Tim? :-)

Comment by Lynne on October 7, 2010 at 12:56pm: Good for you!!

Comment by MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on October 7, 2010 at 12:46pm: Got 3 letters Monday and 3 again today. Yay!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 7, 2010 at 12:39pm: MJS- if you go make sure you get a pass to get in the gate and I think you need to go through the gate with someone who is on the list. Once in the gate you may have to wait until others that are on the list are inside but then they will let you in. We had 13 divisions and all the extra people were able to get in with no problem.
