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."

Hello they have to have a sponsor to help them get familarized with the ship. It should be in there orders. I cant check this info when I am at work however you can always text me or call me. I live in Virginia however I have a Florida number. I am excited because my son can easily come home for a hot meal on the weekends, sometime everyday when he gets to Norfolk because he is less than 45 minutes away. (904-402-1212)

Hi Joyce,

 Yes, I will be leaving from Englewood, NJ on the 8th.  I will not be there for the meet and greet on the 8th because I willbe arriving at a later time in the evening.

Where  will you be staying at, on base or at a near by hotel?  I am not sure yet where I willl be staying.  is there anything you can share with me as I get ready for this trip.  Is there any special things you are bringing with you?

I have made up my mind that I am gonna fly into Milwaukee. It's cheaper & less stressful airport! One of the Mom's from Wisconsin highly recommended it. She said the drive down to Waukegan or Great Lakes is a very easy drive, about an hour. From Chicago it is about 50 minutes if you don't hit a bunch of crazy traffic! I am renting a car. It was pretty reasonable. I am on a VERY tight budget! I am a single Mom & I have been saving every penny I get my hands on to go to PIR! And it seems something keeps going wrong to take some of that money! But I am going no matter what!!!! I want to be there for my Son! I am SOOOO proud of him!

Hey!  Thanks for starting the group.  You may want to go ahead and put the PIR before 9/9/11 because you will be adding divisions numbers behind it once we know them. 

So it should read:  PIR 9/09/11

Thanks!
