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 diannep on November 4, 2010 at 7:54am: I think I remember that Angie (works on GL base) posted that there is construction going on around RTC, but there are well-marked detour signs. You may want to allow extra time for this.

Comment by Mari, Kims mom (Ship07 Div356) on November 4, 2010 at 7:53am: Good morning everyone... I will be leaving Des Moines at 10am... Should get to Chicago around 3pm... I am really excited to meet everyone at the meet and greet today... Everyone traveling, be careful and have a safe trip...

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2010 at 7:50am: Sooo....Lynne....and others already in GL..how many times do you think you will drive by RTC and just stare, knowing that your new sailors are in there but you can't get to them yet???? I confess....when I was up there....several times...and only several because we didn't get into town until late on Thurs....
it would have been many more otherwise! :-)

Can't wait to see pictures posted on here from PIR! Congrats to all of you!
Bravo ZULU! Remember, arrive EARLY tomorrow morning at PIR...you won't regret it....don't forget ID, gate pass, and cameras! Oh, and for those who may not have ordered the PIR DVD (or your sailors didn't), please be sure to do that after PIR in the NEX. SO worth it. You can see your sailor up close when they pass in front of the "review stand." That was the only way I saw mine....never could see him during PIR. :-(
