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 lemonelephant on February 9, 2014 at 2:27am: Tay, yes, the Shedd Aquarium is within the Liberty Limits. Sailors can travel within 50 miles of the RTC or the TSC during PIR weekend. Use the miles, not the time, when checking if a place is within the limits. Plan to do that on Saturday or Sunday when you will have more time with your Sailor since he will be staying in GL for "A" School.

Comment by Annychiquita on January 27, 2014 at 9:02pm: omg super happy...just received the form letter from my son...PIR date will be march 21...thanks God!!!!

Comment by lemonelephant on January 17, 2014 at 6:05pm: Redshel16, yes. See the suggestions in PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend. You cannot take photos outside while onboard the RTC, but you can take photos in the Drill Hall.

Comment by Melinda on January 16, 2014 at 12:28pm: We took pictures and a video of my daughters PIR two years ago. I was already to take pics and my son was going to video but as soon as they lifted the door and all you could see was the sailors feet marching I started crying and had to pass off the camera to my daughter in law. Lol!!! I was such a cry baby while she was gone.
