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."

Hi jancil58- welcome to our site. When did your recruit leave? How are you doing? It CAN be a little confusing, but if you ask us questions we will try to answer them.

Jessica, Do you think there will be at least 7 divisions in the first PIR group. I wouldn't mind starting it if no one else wants to. I know how to do the countdown clock but might need help with the chat room. What do you think? Thank you for always being here right when we need you. Kathy
