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 Elia...I wish we could have somehow gotten the word out about this site to everyone...luckily, our recruiter had told us about it!! It has been a life saver. If you get a chance, go backward a ways from the MAIN 4-8 PIR group..there is A LOT Of info. If you are going to PIR, there is a meet and greet on Thursday 4-7 at 6pm (check that time??) at the Ramada in Waukegan. Glad you found the site...and our boys are now all done with BS (Battle Stations)...yeah 127!!
