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 SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 26, 2010 at 6:08pm: oh yes, you are VERY lucky suzieq! Guess we don't need to tell you to have a good time next weekend!!!

Comment by Tisha Div 290 PIR 9/02 on August 26, 2010 at 6:07pm: Sobe great advice as always

Comment by suzieQ on August 26, 2010 at 6:06pm: Yea I am glad my husband is a g&g to great lakes, we got lucky!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 26, 2010 at 6:04pm: That's great suzieq, that's what they did for the last PIR group who graduated on a holiday weekend. Remember though, if they are not a G&G, many of your sailors will have 2 or 4 hours of watch duty over those 5 days. So don't pre-buy tickets to any museums, theme parks, etc. until they tell you their work schedule on PIR day.

Comment by jhenderson on August 26, 2010 at 6:01pm: al lof my stuff and a phone call told me 289 was last night and my phone call is still not here and driving me crazy.

Comment by suzieQ on August 26, 2010 at 6:00pm: I asked the RTC page on facebook and they said they have liberty till Monday because of the holiday.

Comment by Tisha Div 290 PIR 9/02 on August 26, 2010 at 5:51pm: junjens you are my hero.
becky, your son could very well be right. But there is still hope because my son said the 25th on the phone and again in a very recent letter, my son could still be mistaken. I am just staying busy but keeping the phone close just in case.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 26, 2010 at 5:46pm: The only sailors who can have overnight liberty are those who are considered Grad & Go's over to Great Lakes A-School. No one else. If they are moving after PIR weekend is over, they are NOT a G&G.

Here's the funny part - a lot of these recruits who are going to GL don't even realize they are a G&G, because they think of G&G's as only those sailors who FLY out of town. I've met moms who had to change motel rooms so they could have a second bed for their sailor because they had no idea they could keep them overnight!

I wish they would let other G&G's spend the night with family, but that's not the case.

Comment by jhenderson on August 26, 2010 at 5:43pm: i dont know butim going crazy. someone make the phone ring please. cant do anything but wait warning you now it is so hard to sit around and do nothing. I HATE TO WAIT see i have officially gone crazy

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 26, 2010 at 5:42pm: kellysmom - Yes, if they are a G&G moving across the street to Great Lakes they can be given their phones, laptops, etc AFTER they move. They move on PIR day, you will go back to hotel and they will call you about 5-6 hrs later to pick them up - but you are picking them up at the new base, so your gate/parking pass will not work (tell him to meet you at the gate). Then he get him for the ENTIRE weekend, even OVERNIGHT! Once you finally bring him back on Sunday or Monday (not sure because of holiday), then you hand him his electronics!

Remember only those who are Grad & Go's can be handed electronics, gifts, etc., and only once they are at the airport or have moved over to GL A-School. Otherwise, all new sailors returning to RTC each night cannot bring anything back to base with them. Exceptions are: money, debit/credit card, new wallet, new watch, and that's about it!
