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 January 19, 2011 at 10:10pm: Rymans mom, they have parking that is closer for those with handicap parking sticker and you probably could even pull over and get them out by the door of the building where you check in. They do have an area in front of each division for wheelchairs. It is quite a walk from the first building to the PIR hall. . And as far as taking extra guests I would. There is no one you can call to get extra guests in but they always have room for extras. We had 13 divisions in July and all the extra guest got in. We took 4 extra and they didn't even have to wait. I have been here since April and I have never heard of anyone who wasn't able to get in.

Comment by SailorMom on January 19, 2011 at 10:06pm: Hi Mollie -- I did get the form letter today but it could be because I live in Illinois. My son left for BC on the 11th and arrived on the 12th. There is a section at the bottom where they can write a short note and he sounds like he's doing okay.

I bet yours will arrive tomorrow or the next day at the latest. You know it's en route at any rate :)

Comment by momsnavyman on January 19, 2011 at 9:55pm: have more questions about PIR , and you ladies have all the answers.... my parents are going but both are handicap and have trouble standing to long and walking, how do i make special arrangments for them? and i am guessing there is not asigned seating, so is it first come first serve...or first seat i should say?and if i want to try and bring 2 extra persons shouls i contact ahead of time, or do i just show up with more and take a chance they can get in.

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 19, 2011 at 9:35pm: Alison Sailor Mom, my son is in the same division. I haven't received the letter yet but his recruiter gave me the information. When did your son arrive in GL?

Comment by Redfly on January 19, 2011 at 9:07pm: ok thanks Lala. and I am definately interested in the ribbons. As you as I get my son's info, I will be in contact with you. They are so nice.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 19, 2011 at 9:05pm: Yeah redfly it can take up to two weeks but it is usually within 10 days.

Comment by Redfly on January 19, 2011 at 9:01pm: still haven't received my son's form letter. He left on January 10th. Does it take this long?

Comment by SailorMom on January 19, 2011 at 8:54pm: :) Hey all, got my son's FORM today! He's in Ship 12, DIV 095.

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 19, 2011 at 8:43pm: Thanks for the help on adding my son's ship and divison to my name!

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 19, 2011 at 8:40pm: Maryl59, My son left the 11th. I have not received the letter either but our recruiter was able to give me my son's ship and division number. Graduation dates are posted by division on the Recruit Training Command website.
