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."

Welcome to PIR 05/11/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by diannep on May 10, 2012 at 7:35am: Safe travel, everyone, and enjoy the MeetNGreets tonight!

Remember, arrive at PIR early tomorrow. This is a pretty large PIR group. There will be lots of traffic. I would suggest those on the shuttle be on the 6:30 one if possible (sign up for it when you check into your hotel). If driving, you will want to be in the line earlier than that. I have read this suggestion from some who drove to previous PIRs: Don't get in the car line...bypass it, drive by RTC, u-turn, and come in from the other direction. I understand that it is much quicker to get into RTC.

For those getting there earlier today, I would do a "dry run" if you are driving so you become familiar with your route. It isn't hard. For those who want to stay in the car line, remember Lala's suggestion: Do not get in the far right lane...that one will eventually merge. Get in the lane next to it.

Most importantly, enjoy enjoy enjoy!
