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."

Comment by lemonelephant on July 8, 2013 at 11:36pm: You have joined PIR 08/09/2013 TG 39 - 13 Divisions (287-298, and 939); Divisions 297 and 298 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening, but you will also want to check out the other Pages in all of the groups.

Comment by lemonelephant on July 8, 2013 at 11:39pm: Regina, join the groups I mentioned above. You may also want to join Girlfriends, Fiances,and Wives of Sailors . The Page, When Will the Recruits be Paid? and Information for Spouses, within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) has some important information for you.
