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."

Is the PIR 9/27/2013 ready to view?  I was there at the graduation, but my daughter (who couldn't go) wanted to see it.

There is a post that states you can still order the DVD. I believe it is on the RTC FB page.

I just got back from PIR for my sailor and I have to say it was a wonderful experience although I hated to say good bye to my son again, but these are the first of many good byes to come.
