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 gnomesweetgnome Ship 11/Div199 on June 2, 2011 at 8:57pm: Teresa-We used to have Guinea Pigs...love the GPGames pictures...I included the rowing one in a letter to my SR a few days ago!! :)

I think it's Ohio St....I *think*...

See the little green building next to the Drill Hall? That is where some people parked for previous PIR's. The Drill Hall is where graduation will be held. Just follow the flow of traffic. :)

Comment by TickledTink on June 2, 2011 at 7:35pm: tomorrow there will be a long line of cars and I think there are Sailors directing people too, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it

Comment by pattyb on June 2, 2011 at 6:17pm: I drove by the base--what gate are we to go in.

Comment by pattyb on June 1, 2011 at 10:51pm: This is such an exciting time for all of us and our sailors. What a joy.

Comment by blueyes253 on June 1, 2011 at 7:12pm: My son's PIR is 6/17/11 and we are bringing my 2 year old grand-daughter with us! Any advice???

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 1, 2011 at 6:34pm: My son wrote in a letter that he wants some Chicago Pizza. Any suggestions?

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 1, 2011 at 11:07am: Pattyb- congrats to your SR :-)

Comment by pattyb on June 1, 2011 at 9:57am: I am so excited! We made the long drive from Florida and we are here!! 2 days!!!!

Comment by slapout52 on May 30, 2011 at 10:20pm: 09/190 We leave for GL on Wed. My question: My SR listed me, his Dad, & his brother by name to attend PIR. In the 4th slot he wrote GRANDMOTHER. Neither grandmother can make it, unfortunately, so are we free to bring a 4th person, say a cousin or his best friend?

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 30, 2011 at 10:06am: There is an RV place by Gurnee called Fish Lake Beach, not sure exactly how far from Gurnee but I know it's in the general area.
