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."

My SR is in Division 127. He will be heading to SC Nuke program after PIR. Are there any other SR'S that will be heading to SC after graduation from boot camp?

Thank you, is the Navy lodge on base and is that the name I use to look them up?

There is an event for it on this website too. Search for navy lodge. I'm not on my laptop or I would paste the link. It is about a mile fRom base. Great reviews, and good price. Mention it's for pir and they will just ask your sailors name.
