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 Magpie on October 13, 2011 at 1:04pm: I seem to recall reading you can't take pictures inside at PIR. Is this true?

Comment by proudtexasmom93 on October 13, 2011 at 12:56pm: Yeah! Just landed in Chicago.

Comment by MomKaren (07-346) on October 13, 2011 at 12:45pm: Same here myson, three LOOONG hours! And I forgot my phone charger. :-)

Comment by myson4/820 on October 13, 2011 at 12:36pm: Three more hours and I get to leave work, go home and close up the house and go to the airport and leave for GL! I'm so excited, My leg won't stop shaking! Woke up at 4:30 this morning thinking of everything I was forgetting to pack! I haven't been this excited to see someone in a very long time! EVER!!

Comment by diannep on October 13, 2011 at 8:31am: Good Morning, all. Safe travel and fun tonight at the MeetNGreet!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 13, 2011 at 8:28am: Also, take lots of practice shots with your digital camera and play with the settings to get the best pictures with the lighting in there. Your pictures will come out much better and you will be glad you did it.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 13, 2011 at 8:27am: Avoid the far right lane when getting in line. That lane ends and you will have to merge over one lane. So line up in the second lane from the right and you will by-pass a lot of the traffic waiting to get in. You can bring bleacher seats, I saw several people using them.

Comment by kjkooz on October 13, 2011 at 7:51am: One more question - Someone posted (sorry I can't remember if it was here or Facebook) really good directions to the base (this included a little tip to avoid the main line into the base. Does anyone know how to do this?

Comment by kjkooz on October 13, 2011 at 7:35am: Congrats to 347 and all other divisions graduating tomorrow! Such a proud Mom!

Does anyone know if you can bring a "bleacher seat" to sit on? My SR told me to bring one because the bleachers are very uncomfortable!

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on October 13, 2011 at 7:19am: OK all getting ready to load the van and leave Hope to meet you all tonight or tom. HoooooRaaaahhh
