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."

Hi Liz, my son is in pre-dive and PIRd on 9/1.  I spoke to him on the phone last nite.  He said they are having workouts in the morning, then they eat, then they have about 6 hours of classroom.  As of last night 5 people had dropped and he said they tell them the goal of how many they want to drop each day.  Today they wanted 2 to drop.  Hope that helps.

You will want to look for a group that will form for his PIR date.

The Indiana group can be found on my page in the same spot as the 'Boot Camp' group that shows just to the left of this post on your page.  Look for the Indiana state flag.

Or you can scroll to the top of this page...just under the N4M banner...there is a group of tabs...over to the right is one called Groups...click on that one...then in the 'search' blank type Indiana...then look for the state flag.
