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."

Daughter shipped out on 22nd ship 14 div 040 PIR 12-13 also.  Would love to know what to expect.  Just got her box, good day in Arkansas.  Do miss her!

Your new Sailor will report to "A" School and then he will get Leave after that for part of the the holiday stand down. He will submit a chit for the days he wants (about 10), but the command will determine which days he gets. That is the only time that new Sailors get to take Leave before the end of "A" School and one of the only times that they are permitted to go in the hole on Leave.  See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend.
