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."

Thinking your division goes either T/W or W/Th of PIR week.  We have to wait and get confirmation from the SRs.  I DO know that they will be the last to go through.

My son PIR'd on the 16th is your hotel in Chicago or Waukegan??? Are you flying or driving? Cabs are crazy expensive but in Waukegan they are only $3 per person to and from PIR do not let them charge you more that is just in Waukegan though and most hotels have shuttles for free so much easier than driving on and off base you just need to be outside when they are loading up. Anyway all I'm saying is that if your not stayin in Waukegan you may want to reconsider. Rooms at the Ramada weren't very nice just FYI but their Meet and Greet was fantastic lots of fun food and drinks and lots of families there so much excitement for the nect days events. Hope this was helpful for you. And congrats and welcome to the Navy family.
