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 TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on February 28, 2011 at 2:33pm: Anthonysmom then I would suggest you call the PAO office on Great Lakes, or could your son have sent the form letter to someone else? go to http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/

or U. S. Recruit Training Command's Facebook page for more information.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 28, 2011 at 2:30pm: Anthony'sMom, if your son calls again before PIR, you need to ask him what the password is for the gate pass or write to him and ask him to send it to you. If you are driving on base for PIR, you will need that pass, but in order to get it, you need a password to print it from the RTC website. That information was on the form letter that you were supposed to receive. Here are the directions.

I'm really getting EXCITED now!!!!!

Comment by AnthonysMom(Ship 12 Div 096) on February 28, 2011 at 2:14pm: I never got a form letter...My son is kind of dingy tho...

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on February 28, 2011 at 2:09pm: Anthony's mom, I was going to ask the same thing. If you received the form letter, all the information is in that. We won't be getting anything else regarding PIR.
