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 Cheyanna (Wife of Brent,Nuke MM) on April 20, 2010 at 12:47am: aww thanks for helping me out guys. For the cell phone thing.. he is a Nuke and going to be going to Chaleston on Tuesday after PIR then I will be joining him shortly there after. Hmm..I wonder how else he would be able to call me once he gets there?

Comment by Janiece M-Utah on April 20, 2010 at 12:20am: Hi Cheyanna,
This was taken from the website Recruit Training Command website. Hope it helps with your questions. Janiece :)

Small purses, small diaper bags and cameras/video recorders are allowed. Strollers, car seats and backpacks are allowed, but discouraged due to space limitations. Due to security regulations, luggage is not permitted inside the drill hall. You can leave these items in your car. The taking of photographs/video is allowed at the Visitor Center and encouraged during the entire ceremony; however NO photography/video is permitted outside of these buildings. Guests caught taking photographs or videotaping outdoors risk having their equipment confiscated by Security.

Contraband also will be confiscated and you may not be permitted entry. These items include but are not limited to: alcohol, illegal drugs, knives or weapons of any kind.

All persons, articles and vehicles are subject to security searches. Metal detectors and other security devices are in use onboard Recruit Training Command. Expect a delay at the security checkpoints due to this added security requirement
the Recruit Training Command website with FAQ's for PIR. Hope this helps :)

Comment by Cheryl M. ~~~Nick's Mom~~~ on April 20, 2010 at 12:18am: Yes and yes. You just can't take any videos or pic's outside of the building.

Comment by Cheyanna (Wife of Brent,Nuke MM) on April 20, 2010 at 12:12am: Hey ladies- I was just wondering if any of you knew answers to any of these small questions I have....
The first one being- Should I take my husband's cell phone? He said not to on the phone Sat but I woould think that he could have it in A school and would have no other chance of getting it anytime soon.
Second question- Can we bring video cameras to PIR?

Comment by Janiece M-Utah on April 19, 2010 at 11:41pm: Shortcake....I'm sorry about your uncle! You & your family will be in my thoughts & prayers. If you need anything or someone to lean on, I'm here for you. Be sure to keep us posted when you get your call tomorrow.
Hugs....
Janiece /Utah :)
