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 NC_Susan on December 3, 2010 at 8:08pm: lukesgirl - It's the US Navy Recruit Training Command page. Just friend request it and you can see everything. They post post pictures of all of the graduations and pictures of the day. They also have someone from the RTC that answers questions that are posted. It's pretty cool.

Everyone else,lol - Glad to know that we are all getting good info about the travel arrangements! Susan

Comment by ElizabethC on December 3, 2010 at 8:02pm: I am so excited for all of you.....you are the next Great Lakes PIR...wahoo....we follow 5 days later...all the 12/22 members will be counting on all of you to report back to us while you are there..... :o)

Comment by lukesgirl on December 3, 2010 at 7:10pm: Hey what's the facebook link with the pictures you're all talking about seeing?

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on December 3, 2010 at 6:22pm: Hey, ladies! I'm actually from PIR 12/22, but have been lurking here since my hubby left on 10/28, lol.
Wanting to get your opinion on what I should do. My husband told me a couple of weeks ago that he'd book his flight home from bootcamp on Dec 1st, however there's nothing in our bank account stating that he purchased tickets. Should I just get them now or wait? Worried because I think my PIR group has a deadline of 12/10 to submit the tinerary. So frustrated, lol

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 3, 2010 at 6:03pm: A flurry of posts; activity on our comment wall sure has picked up - MUST BE GRADUATION IS ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY! Congrats to Sportsmom-whatever the award sounds like it is an elite and special achievement. Very special! Twosilvas - sounds like you can rest well tonight knowing your SR can get home - whew!

Comment by kathy on December 3, 2010 at 4:45pm: I am looking for a suggestion for a gift for my son. I am looking for something that says "I wish I was there" and "I am so proud of you" It is starting to sink in that I am going to miss out on this special day. I am glad my husband (and I think my brother) will be there. I will see my son later on Friday night here in California which makes it a little easier.

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 3, 2010 at 4:37pm: I found a picture of my daughter performing in nov 24 and dec 3 PIRs on the naval command page on Facebook.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 3, 2010 at 4:23pm: I believe the flag designer(s) is the person or person in the division who design the Division Flag. Ever flag is different and designed by one or more SR's in that division. They are always awesome and I would guess the person(s) chosen to design it are very artistic from the ones I have seen. There are some very talented sailors in our Great US Navy!!!!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 3, 2010 at 4:07pm: Tysmom, I'm glad that you got more information and feel better. I had a feeling that they are just so busy that it's hard to keep up with it all.

Comment by TysMomKY on December 3, 2010 at 4:01pm: UPDATE: I did make a call and was told that they have over 1,500 graduates to process travel information on and they do NOT deny anyone traveling that the most would be that they would simply need more information. I explained that I sent the flight itinerary on Sunday, but had emailed that again, with route specifics and vehicle information and he said that was exactly what was needed. I'm breathing a sigh of relief after speaking to him! They have everything they need from me the rest is up to them! Congratulations sportsmom, that is great! Congratulations to all the momma's of graduates! I'll see you all soon. Great Lakes is around the corner and I have a feeling it - we - or our sailors will ever be the same after this!
