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 Lisa on June 7, 2011 at 9:42am: Tickled Tink: I understand the coffee priority:-) I think there's a Starbucks near our hotel which makes me very happy. Diannep is right though, there's usually coffee in your room or the lobby. The next logical question then is are there easily accessible bathrooms at PIR, lol...

Comment by diannep on June 7, 2011 at 8:10am: TickledTink: I do believe they sell coffee at PIR. Not positive! You may have coffee in your hotel room though?

Comment by TickledTink on June 6, 2011 at 10:53pm: Lisa- yeah, I'll certainly be tired, but he's been more sleep deprived than I. Heck, even before RTC. He used to work graveyard and would often stay up for more than 24 hrs at a time in order to spend time with me on our days off. And I'm sure I'll be soooo excited. I tend to not be able to sleep and get up more easily when I'm excited.

Does anyone know though is there a place to buy some coffee? I'm staying at the Gateway inn on base across the street, so I don't have much of a drive at all. Do they sell any at PIR maybe?

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2011 at 9:24pm: mosita: The gates opening at 4:30 is just for the PIR 7/1 group. They are having a special celebration since it is the 100th anniversary of the Navy. Betsy gave you the info for your PIR. We left on the 6:30 shuttle from our hotel and were in our seats by a little after 7. I would highly recommend this as choice in seating was much better. Shuttle allows you to pass the car lines too.

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2011 at 9:19pm: SailorMomLisa: Brother divisions in this PIR group:

219+220, 221+222, 223+224, 225+226

815 and 934 do not have brother divisions.

Brother divisions train together and go through BattleStations together. 815 and 934 may tag on to a set of brother divisions for BattleStations or could go with each other.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 6, 2011 at 8:18pm: mosita, the gates open at RTC at 6:30a.m. but they will not allow you entrance in the hall itself until 7:00a.m. It is bleacher style seating. There will be signs in the hall stating where each division will be standing. You should be able to sit close by your SR's division.

Comment by navymommo on June 6, 2011 at 6:41pm: Has anyone heard anything about division t-shirts?

Comment by seabee_wife92 on June 6, 2011 at 5:53pm: The hotel number is 847.688.6675 to make a reservation you call 847.688.3746.. its cheaper than any of the other hotels, and if you have ur dependant id you can stay there! You should definantly check into it! :]

Comment by seabee_wife92 on June 6, 2011 at 4:44pm: I just book my hotel and flight to go see my SR gradutate... I am staying on base at the Navy Gateway inn/suites... Im soooo excited to see my husband!!!!

Comment by Lisa on June 6, 2011 at 2:48pm: Thanks Diannep: I remember you posted info about our sister/ brother divisions awhile back and I can't seem to find it. Would you be willing to repost that?? Wondering as this PIR group grows if some of our SR's will get to know people outside their individual divisions? Thanks for all your info btw...it helps us all feel a little bit more connected to our SR's, but you already know all about that...you've been in our shoes :-)
