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."

PARKING PASS URGENT

http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil is down. My sons wife said she had the parking passes but all she had was the instructions. We have to leave for the airport in 5 mins. What do we do.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 15, 2013 at 4:41pm: The site is back up, but they took down the link for this week's gate pass, which I thought was a little strange since some might still need to get the gate pass, but you can try clicking on the link for one of the next two weeks' PIR. If that doesn't work, email the PAO (rtc.pao@navy.mil.)

Comment by lemonelephant on August 15, 2013 at 4:45pm: If you don't get the gate pass, you will need to walk in. You will need to park in the Metra Parking lot or take a taxi or shuttle to the RTC. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend.

Comment by latinnative on August 15, 2013 at 5:45pm: Im at the airport so im hopping we can do it fr the hotel. Crossing my fingers the hilton has a computer n printer. My mom is with us and she is disabled so i really hope we can get the pass printed.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 15, 2013 at 5:48pm: I hope so too.

Comment by latinnative on August 15, 2013 at 5:51pm: The system is down again. Urgh

Comment by lemonelephant on August 15, 2013 at 5:53pm: Perhaps they are putting in the link for the gate pass for you. The site is down when things are being updated. Wait a bit and try again.
