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."

sheshe:  Can you move the "PIR" part of your group title ---in front of the date?  This is the way it should read: 

PIR 9/16/11 

Thanks!

Thank you for making that change.  Could you change it to add the / between the numbers? (PIR 09/16/2011 TG 44) As you have it now, the group can only be found by searching the Groups be typing in TG 44.  If one types in 9/16/11, the group does not even come up because you have not spaced between 9/16/11 and Boot in the Information section about the group.  Spaces and / are important and in the title especially.  Thanks for starting the group.
