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 to PIR 12/17/2010 and enjoy the latest song added to our Playlist I'll be Home for Christmas." A delay in graduation is not a decision RTC takes lightly, but is in the best interest or your SR. We know you are sad to be leaving your current group; but you can maintain those friendships and develop new ones with the N4M's of PIR 12/17/2010. Your neice is ahead of our SR's so you may have some information our group would be interested in hearing about. We're looking forward to your friendship! Lori

I know you hate to leave the 12/3 group, but there are also some great ladies on the 12/17 group...and guess what the bonus is? THEY get to go home for Christmas after PIR! They just found that out today. You can read Jessica's post on the 12/17 group from this morning about that. My son got setback also when he was up there back in Dec 2009...it isn't the end of the world...he came back stronger than ever! So chin up!

Hi song258! Thanks for friending me on N4Ms. It's great to have contacts here. I haven't read everything you may have posted so when did your niece leave for BC? My daughter left NY 10/5. If they're in the same Div, I'll be they're friends. Are you going to PIR?

Hi Song258! I sent you a friend request as well but there wasn't enough space to type everything I wanted to tell you in the message! Most definately call your neice's recruiter. They should be very very helpful in getting that information for you. My daughters recruiting office has been fantastic with answering my questions and getting me information. I've even gone to the DEP meetings with my daughter so that I could learn as much as possible. What is your neice's job/rating? Quite a few that leave the same time as ours seem to be going to A-school in Great Lakes, right across the street from Boot Camp. That's where my daughter is going as well, she's a Gunners Mate.
