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."

Where is your new sailor going after PIR?

Thought it would be great to learn where everybody's sailor is heading to after PIR.  This can be a great way to open new conversations at the M&G and also make new friends that will be going through the same experience that you will be for the upcoming months.

My daughter will be staying in GL for A school. She will be training to be a GSM (Gas Turbine Specialist). She has to report by 1/31, so we are hoping she has overnight liberty. She is unsure right now.

Fawn my son is also staying in GL for GSM training and as far as I know he should have overnight liberty. They have to move out right after PIR to A school and then they are supposed to be able to stay the weekend and return at 8 p.m. on Sunday. I sure hope that doesn't change.

My son says the same thing. He said today that it he would be briefed about those details after he was processed in across the street. It is my understanding that this happens right after graduation. I am so hoping for overnight liberty!!!
