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 abuon18 on March 18, 2012 at 10:02pm: Romisproudmom- it depends if he ha a 4 year or 6 year contract. 4 years don't go to ATT they go straight to A school in San Diego. 6 years stay in Great Lakes for ATT. If he is a 4 year he gets liberty Friday after PIR. If he is 6 year he gets the whole weekend of liberty. Hope this helps and congratulations!

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on March 18, 2012 at 7:15pm: Hi. My son was a 4 yr. Stg. We were with him all day Friday. We knew he had to leave Sat. For San Diego he had to ne at the airport at 2 a. m. So we went to there then also. Our flihht left at noon. His lwft at noon 30. Our gates were right beside each other. We hung out with him until our flight left. Then he got to SD only to wait 3 months for A school to fill up. Oh well.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on March 18, 2012 at 7:14pm: I didn't go to PIR as my son was yeoman and in the 900 (906) working div. He flew out to SD the next day. So I'm glad I didn't go. He grad on 12/22, I think, so the cost was way high to fly at Christmas time. We went to SD four times over the 14 months he was in classes. What a great place to be stationed! He had a wonderful time and we just love SD. PM me it you have any other questions.

Comment by RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 18, 2012 at 7:04pm: @phoebe what would you recommend I do...Did your son Have weekend liberty after PIR?

Comment by navy great grand dad on March 18, 2012 at 7:01pm: My grandson graduation was last Oct

Comment by phoebe stg2 on March 18, 2012 at 6:59pm: Note to Romisproudmom, My son was four years so he went to SD right after grad from BC. During his "A" school he applied for six year. So what I am saying is if he signed up for six years initially he will stay in Great Lakes after BC. If he is four years he will head to SD right after BC. This was so confusing for our son until he left BC.

Comment by RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 18, 2012 at 6:42pm: Thank you soo much you have been a Great help....when was your grandsons PIR?
