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 DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 21, 2010 at 6:10pm: Sandy, I was able to hunt down a answer for you. I copy/paste answer I got. Hope this helps.

Everyone who attends PIR needs to be on the list. RTC base isn't like any other base, I work on the "A" School base and I can't even get on that base unless I am on the access list. LOL

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 21, 2010 at 11:05am: Ladies I started a discussion above on PIR information. Long but good info.

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 21, 2010 at 10:59am: Sandy, as far as I know they have to be on the list because they only have so much room but I will see what I can find out for you.

Comment by Mo on April 21, 2010 at 10:27am: DeannaD, Thanks for the info it is very appreciated.

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 21, 2010 at 9:51am: Hi Ladies, My son was a grad on 3/19 and I have been helping out the PIR group 4/23 and noticed someone from this PIR came in with questions. I can help out with some and what I can't I have some older timers(JessicaB) that I can turn to. I know this is a journey and it was nice to have help with some of my questions.

Mo, My PIR wore only Red scarfs for each other to find N4M ladies and 4/23 decided to go with each Div. have their own color.

Sandy (Ship12 Div 178) , Yes you have to have your name on the list. My Mom was put in the wrong spot and it took a bit to figure aout it was their typo not us. I know that if there is room they will let others come in but they have to wait to see how they fill up. Your recruit can still add to his list up until the 2nd or 1st week before PIR. I had to have my son add his sister, how he could forget her:)

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 20, 2010 at 9:10pm: I feel the same way.

Comment by DCM_Mom(Ship12Div179) on April 20, 2010 at 9:09pm: Exactly! =) Okay, I'm going to get some sleep. I look foward to going to bed each night because I know when I wake up we are one day closer to seeing our recruits.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 20, 2010 at 8:54pm: lol Dev tells me that all the time. I tend to worry about everyone but myself

Comment by DCM_Mom(Ship12Div179) on April 20, 2010 at 8:08pm: Tell him that it's an estrogen thing! We can't help it! It's just what we do... My "husband" is a police officer and he always tells me to stop worrying, that he'll tell me when I need to worry! LOL!

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 20, 2010 at 8:04pm: Your welcome.I understand. I may not be a mother but, I worry about him everyday. When he got his wisdom teeth out he got an infection and got really sick. I was so worried. He says Im a worry wart and worry to much.lol
