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 kathy on December 15, 2010 at 4:03am: Hi, I have a question. . . My son neglected to put my brother, his uncle, on the guest list and from what I just read his uncle cannot be added to the list the week of graduation. Also, according to the website anyone not on the list will be allowed in after the ceremony starts and all guests on the list have gone in. Does anyone know if the chances will be good that my brother will be allowed in? Does space fill up entirely? I thought I read somewhere that the chances that he will get in are good. I don't know if I tell my brother not to come, but then my husband does not have a place to stay. My brother is driving from Minnesota and it is a long drive. Help, if anyone has some insight here. Thank you!

Comment by Lynne on December 15, 2010 at 3:24am: One batch of new sailors under your belt and more to follow...bravo zulu all...I can feel the excitement building...remember stay in the middle lane if you are driving...lol!!

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 15, 2010 at 2:29am: If anyone is staying at the Ramada Inn and plans on taking the shuttle to PIR please message me. I want to know how your trip goes and any details you can give me about the shuttle. Thank you!

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 15, 2010 at 2:02am: Salma I understand Div 21 is also tied with div 22 so may the best div win!

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on December 15, 2010 at 1:12am: Congrats to all our new Sailors.

The Ramada will be very helpful with all your needs and questions. Little hint get there real early and sit up close. Hang in for a ride of your life. When that big door opens and the Sailors come out it is something that stays with you forever. While you all at your PIR my Son will be home for Christmas from Sub school in CT. Haven't seen him since his PIR in March.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 15, 2010 at 12:35am: Cindy, the only link that I have is the directions on the RTC page. It gives the directions from the north and south. http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/directions.asp

The Ramada Inn did tell me though, when we come to the M&G, that they will have all sorts of information there for graduation. I'm sure they must have directions. :)

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on December 15, 2010 at 12:30am: Ok, can't sleep and just thought of a question! Betsy, do you have a link or a address on what to print so we can do directions from our hotel to the Recruit Command Center on Friday. Guess we could ask at the Hotel when we arrive!

Thanks...so many of you are life savors!

((Hugs)) Cindy

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 15, 2010 at 12:15am: Congrats to all the new sailors! I am soo excited for you all! We are only days behind you all and it's sooo exciting!
