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 families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never 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 discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 3, 2012 at 12:22am: Did you turn onto the street that runs alongside the Metra rail and leads into the Metra rail Parking lot (if you go past the RTC entrance?), this one is close to Midway Hall side of RTC That one is Ohio.

Illinois is West of that and closer to the NEX side (runs right along it in fact into RTC).

(aprk...geez!)

Comment by natalie'smom on January 3, 2012 at 12:06am: We entered off of Buckley & parked in covered parking

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 2, 2012 at 11:54pm: DEAR GROUP,

Hello! Well I have a question for YOU for a change! LOL

Which entrance were you directed to for PIR Illinois street off of Buckley or Ohio? Illinois is first and then Ohio is next to the Metra Parking. Also, did you aprk in the covered Structure?

Thanks!

Comment by natalie'smom on January 2, 2012 at 10:43pm: I have a question. When my daughter is in A School will she has access to the internet if she takes her laptop?

Comment by RuthL on January 2, 2012 at 11:09am: Well finally back home in PA. Graduation was wonderful. Our daughter took 2 days of leave so we did get to spend some time with her. Funny thing, she really did not know what to do with herself much of the time. After 9 weeks at boot camp, she wasn’t sure how to do what she wanted to, when she wanted to. Sarge was a saint! He picked her up in downtown Chicago Saturday night and got her back to base. He also called a sailor he knows on base and had them meet her at the gate and help her carry all of her things. We had no clue where to go or where to check her in and he took care of her like she was his own. It was also just as had sending her off again, but now she can use it phone, we feel much more connected. The best part, she does not regret her decision at all and is ready to finish up and get to Norfolk. Thank you all for all your help. Let me know how I can help in the future. LaLa’s ribbons were also a huge help in identifying each other.
