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."

You need to be a member of PIR 7/8/11, TG34-10 Divisions (219-226, 815 & 934) to add comments!

Comment by Willsmom on June 4, 2011 at 3:49pm: The form says that only the SR can authorize who comes to graduation...if he/she doesn't put them on the list, they won't be allowed. That is my understanding, anyway.

Comment by sbenfamily on June 4, 2011 at 3:04pm: I have a question about guests at PIR. My daughter filled hers out on the form letter with me and her brother attending. I know someone said it could be changed two weeks before. My husband is active duty military and deployed. He has been cleared to come for her graduation and we plan on surprising her. She was devastated thinking he won't be able to be there. She will just go crazy when she sees her Dad. Does this mean we are going to have to tell her in advance to add him or does he just have to have the password. He obviously has a military ID and won't have trouble getting on base but we are Army so not so familiar with Navy procedures.

Comment by Anne PIR 7-27-12 Ship 04 Div 817 on June 4, 2011 at 2:53pm: Let's hope Ship 12 div 225 can make a phone call home this weekend.

Comment by Willsmom on June 4, 2011 at 2:01pm: I told my daughter who is unable to attend PIR that I won't be taking photos of the ceremony because I don't want to miss even a second of it by looking thru a camera lens! She is not happy with me, but theres always the DVD!

Comment by MidwestMom on June 4, 2011 at 1:24pm: Apparently Rackie is too good of a cook because her husband was the only one to complain about the food. :) Good for you! Sounds like most are doing well and we're all a little closer to PIR today than we were yesterday. OK -- now the other div's need phone calls!

Comment by diannep on June 4, 2011 at 10:29am: MyBernie. There is no welcome packet....just the form letter you should have already received. Your SR should have included in that the 4 names of people coming to the PIR. If not, they are given a chance to revise this list about 2 weeks before PIR.

Comment by My Bernie Ship 3 Division 222 on June 4, 2011 at 10:25am: does any one know when we might get a graduation welcome pack if we are chosen to attend

Comment by diannep on June 4, 2011 at 9:18am: TickledTink: Yep, that long private shower is one of the first things on the sailor's agenda after PIR!

Ditto all that Sandra said. I found the same thing...when you are watching them at PIR, all that you went through is so worth it! Most of them feel the same way!

Awwww, SailorMomLisa: So sweet of the "daddies" seeing piks of their children and getting teary-eyed...I know that must miss them so much.

So glad that many of you got phone calls, and hope that more are coming this weekend for those of you still waiting!

Comment by Lisa on June 4, 2011 at 2:22am: I got a letter too and it was meticulously handwritten in all caps :-) Definitely not the norm for my son but I'm not complaining. He repeated several times that the letters meant the world to him and all the other SR's. Mentioned a father and bunkmate who got a photo of his daughter and cried tears of joy. Also talked about the crazy thunderstorms and weather unlike anything he's ever experienced. He actually likes the food and says it's really healthy. It was so great to hear from him!

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on June 3, 2011 at 11:52pm: Yippie for Ship 3 Div 221 getting calls today! I'm excited for everyone! I've been on this major high all day!
