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."

PASSWORD FOR PRINTING THE PARKING PASS
Keep that letter containing the password for printing the parking pass. If you are using MS Internet Explorer, you may encounter a program. Download Mozilla Firefox (it's free) and try again. Remember to save your password (in case you lose your pass and have to print another one). Better yet, once you are online, print multiple copies to take with you. I know a mom who gots hers laminated (just in case the kid brother spills coke on it.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/PIR - DVD, PHOTOS and BOUND ALBUM
Stay in touch with your recruit during BC about ordering the dvd and photos. He/she will have an opportunity to order these before PIR. If he/she forgets, you can go to the EXCHANGE and order them yourself when you are there for PIR. Additionally, you can call and request an order form be faxed to you at anytime. NO email requests. BTW, there is a bound photo album that is beautiful – don’t know the cost.
