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 Phoenixmom on October 17, 2017 at 12:25pm: I believe a week before the date of the PIR for your SR there should be a date showing the meet and greet then you just sign up.

Comment by Sheng on October 17, 2017 at 2:06pm: Thank you Phoenixmom!!

Comment by Phoenixmom on October 17, 2017 at 2:13pm: You are welcome anytime I can help, that is why I am Here! I hope all you Ladies have An excellent time at PIR it was so amazing! Me and My Husband had the time of our Life, we were so Proud of our Son! My daughter and son in law also went, we had a very nice time. Remember Ladies take a cushion to sit on, the benches get really hard and you will be sitting for 2 hours. there will be vendors in the Hall selling the coins of their Div. their Flags, and their Ship. also shirts with their Div. Flag, blankets, backpacks, ect.

Comment by Holly on October 17, 2017 at 7:13pm: Are Credit cards accepted to purchase these items?
Are we able to purchase before and after graduation?

Comment by Phoenixmom on October 17, 2017 at 7:17pm: I believe so, the name of the vendor is Navygear.com that is who will be at the Meet and Greet you put your order in and about an hour or less they ask that you pick it up, right inside the Hall. They will have plenty of helpers also. you can go online and purchase the flags because they do get pricey. you can have your Son/Daughter name on it the Div. and the name of the ship, it comes out really nice. Got one for my son came out to around 75 bucks. my husband got a shirt 25. I bought a blanket for 20. so it can get costly. But well worth it.

Comment by Phoenixmom on October 17, 2017 at 7:26pm: Well its been said No Graduations on Dec. 22nd or 29th it will probably be Dec. 15th
