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 ellen0502 on May 25, 2012 at 1:46am: I haven't heard of actual tickets to give out. Things may have changed in a month, but on the form letter you were went there are four lines that should have had names listed for attending PIR.

Those names on the list are the ones allowed to go right in, the others have to wait in another line and then it is first come first serve as to the extras. With only seven divisions at PIR there should be no issue getting in.

My sons PIR was 5 divisions, I was the one on the wait list (at my request) and got there early and was first in line...lol. They cleared the hall of the listed ones that were there already, and then let us right in. I waited about fifteen minutes before going in.

Again, I have not heard of an actual ticket, maybe one of the others has, if so ignore this...LOL

Comment by JanieRN555(ship03/Div173) on May 24, 2012 at 9:56pm: I got a letter today from my SR, and I'm a little confused. They get 4 guest for PIR, but we had 5 people going. And the debate of which one will wait at visitor center.

Todays letter he said he just found out that they will get tickets to give to who he wants at graduation. Does this mean he will have more than 4 tickets?

Or he picks who the 4 are that will go in at that time? Sunday via phone, He asked me to ask his Dad/StepMom if one of them would give up their seat to allow his older brother to go in, who would have been waiting at visitors center.

Anyone know? He also said he has been hearing they may only be graduating with 7 Divisiions, instead of 15 Divisions, so more than 4 of us will get to go in. Anyone else hear anything?

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 5:26pm: Just a reminder that RTC no longer allows us to post BattleStations dates on here or on FB. They want you to practice OPSEC--pretend like BattleStations is "ship movement" when in the fleet...which can't be discussed until after the fact. So that is why they have to be private messaged.

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 5:23pm: Ladies, please friend request/message me BattleStations dates for your divisions if you have them. I'm keeping a schedule. Thanks! There is also a Battlestations discussion above...be sure to read it. They will be starting BattleStations very soon!

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2012 at 8:10am: Good morning everyone!

Comment by flgirltwo on May 23, 2012 at 10:59pm: @la(ship9div 172 PIR 6/8) Well, they call it a continental breakfast. It was basically a few muffins and danishs (they were good, I guess) and coffee and juice. Just powdered creamer (that won't do for me). So we went and got some bagels, muffins and coffee!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 23, 2012 at 9:54pm: Nice to see you here helping out flgirltwo :-) Happy to see you had a great time!!
