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 mamacita3 on March 18, 2013 at 7:44pm: @Connie, yes, there is a shuttle available from SpringHill. $3/pp each way. Most of them are Sarge's drivers as it is. There was a 6:30, 6:45, 7:00 shuttles...Probably others but we reserved the 6:45 a.m. shuttle and we were there plenty early enough and our seats for PIR were good. Didn't have to wait outside and the shuttle is the way to go. You buzz right through security at the base.

Comment by Connie821 on March 18, 2013 at 7:07pm: Regarding Springhill Suites.... Can you get the shuttle from there to base? If yes, does it depart early enough? I want to get there by 0645 latest. Or should i plan on setting up with Sarge?

Comment by lemonelephant on March 16, 2013 at 9:37pm: PIR 05/03/2013 TG 25 - 11 Divisions (167-176 and 925)

Comment by proudmom Ship 02 Div 925 on March 16, 2013 at 8:51am: Hi Lemonelephant! How about PIR date of 5/3? :)

Comment by lemonelephant on March 15, 2013 at 11:28pm: PIR 04/26/2013 TG 24 - 11 Divisions (157-166 and 924)

Comment by Kristina on March 15, 2013 at 8:42pm: I'm looking for a group with PIR 4/26/2013. Can someone add me to it or send me the link? Thanks!

Comment by lemonelephant on March 13, 2013 at 11:05pm: Winski, if you take the shuttle, you will not have to worry about the line to enter the gate. You will be dropped off at the gate and walk in. You need to arrive closer to 7 am when the Visitors Center and Drill Hall open if you take a shuttle.

Comment by Winski on March 13, 2013 at 11:04pm: I posted this on bootcamp page then thought it might be better answered here. I've been reading about how great the shuttle is, but hotels I checked said shuttle picks you up at 630.isnt that too late? I see people who get to PIR at 630 and the line is already very long. Please share your opinions.

Comment by LI mom on March 12, 2013 at 9:03pm: Yes they can.Sarge is really good with the kiddos. You won't regret it :)

Comment by jen on March 12, 2013 at 8:49pm: Our 12 year old came with us. He had a Kindle with him to play games on the Sundance WiFi. It went long and he was bored. Food was great and met a lot of nice people. There was alot of helpful information given and well worth the trip.
