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 Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 17, 2010 at 12:29pm: Rebecca sorry for your lost i have you in my prayer
condolence from my family

Also everyone i just knew that my bf is a grad and go and he told me not to attend PiR anymore so i guess i just need to wait another 2 weeks to see him... sigh... i was all ready but now i just waste my time getting all excited to see him on dec 3rd

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 17, 2010 at 9:49am: Rebecca- If he can add you to the list that would be great but you should still be able to get in the ceremony once you are on base. Did you get the form letter? If so you have the password and can print a pass to get on the base. If you don't have the pass word will whoever got it in your family give it to you, or let you ride onto the base with them? You could also take a shuttle from your hotel then you won't need the pass for PIR but you will need it if you are going to the base to pick up your sailor on Sat or Sun. It is true that you may have to wait to go to the Ceremony hall but I have never heard of anyone not getting in. Our PIR had 13 divisions and everyone got in. We took 4 extra people and they got in and had plenty of time. We saved them a seat so they could sit with us but there were more seats left in the balcony.

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 17, 2010 at 6:15am: Teddy's mom, so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family!

Comment by jessica (ship 09 div 015) on November 17, 2010 at 3:05am: Rebecca: I hope everything goes well and you end up being able to get into the grad!!

Comment by proudksmom on November 17, 2010 at 12:57am: wow cant type, guess I better go to bed.

Comment by proudksmom on November 17, 2010 at 12:55am: Rebecca, I heard they give their final list a few weeks before PRI. Yes Emily is right. If you are not on the list they will wait to set the ones not listed last but maybe someone on his list couls save you a seat!
