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."

My sa pir is 1/3 my mother ia not on the list but is riding with us. Every post I see says extra family members need to wait in hotel. We will not be staying in hotel since live 1 1/2 hours away. When I called RTC they said she could watch from chapel. Just want to double check this is true and that she can come in main gate with us. Thank yoi.

Get that info in writing from the PAO (email the PAO at rtc.pao@navy.mil). Yes, she will be able to get in at the main gate--ID is checked there, but the names will be checked at the Visitor's Center and that's where those not on the Access List have been asked to leave the RTC or to wait in the vehicle in the past, but if she absolutely must be on base, she will be directed to the Chapel and there is a live stream of PIR there.

Here is one comment from diannep concerning this.

Toolman:  I contacted RTC about this not too long ago.  This is the answer I received:

Ma'am,

We would like extra guests to stay off base to watch the PIR live streamed. If a guest absolutely needs to be on base and is not on the guest list they will go to the Chapel.
