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.

Comment by Linda on April 11, 2011 at 8:21pm: I printed my parking pass tonight - Yaahoo! PIR is getting close! I also received my ribbons I ordered from LalaRibbonQueen and they are great! (Not too late to order for 4/22!). I can't wait to them at PIR! Unfortunately, my younger 2 children will not be attending PIR so they will wear their ribbons to school.

My last letter from my son did not have his battlestation date, but I looked at the Balltlestations above and this schedule was posted.

Comment by missa_m on April 11, 2011 at 8:15pm: We're up to 100 members- that's pretty awesome. Even more awesome: nearly in the single digits with the countdown clock!

Comment by Jenacfs on April 11, 2011 at 8:00pm: Good to know he will be able to go there. I wasn't sure. Thank you!!!!

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 7:50pm: He is allowed to go to the Navy Pier, Jenacfs. He shouldn't have to be back on base on PIR day until 8 or 9 that night. Gurnee Mall is always fun too for the sailors...and it is full of sailors after PIR just as the Pier will be. Some take the train (station is right by RTC) into Chicago. Cheap weekend rate for the train.

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 7:48pm: Congrats leslieo! That is wonderful!

Comment by Jenacfs on April 11, 2011 at 7:46pm: Does anyone know if there is anything to do near the base after graduation? I will have my 4year old and our whole family. I do know about the Navy Pier and the Mall but the Pier in an hour away and i don't know how far i can take my SR. I will only have that day with him and then he leaves the next day to Florida for his A-School. Thank you all!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 11, 2011 at 7:29pm: Welcome to all the new members joining our group. I am so glad you found us. If you have any questions at all please ask. Even if we have answered them before we don't mind at all. That is what we are here for. :-)

Thanks everyone for all the great compliments about the ribbons I am making for your PIR. This group is very special to me. Your ribbons will be shipped as soon as your payment arrives. Thanks again, Lala
