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 diannep on March 16, 2011 at 5:50pm: Congrats to all of the new sailors! Safe travel for all of the PIR 3/18 group. Get ready for a "goosebump" experience on Friday! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on March 16, 2011 at 5:48pm: Angie: There will be sailors on the base with wheelchairs for those who need them.

I am a fan of the shuttle...much less wait time. Take the earliest one that you can! You may need to sign up at the front desk when you check in --so ask.

If you are concerned about a wheelchair for her, call the PAO tomorrow 847-688-2405. But there are usually plenty around with sailors waiting for "takers." They will wheel your mom right into that PIR Hall...sailor-style! :-)
