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."

Comment by Nancy (Taylor's mom) on August 30, 2010 at 5:58pm: Welcome, Rami! I'm sure you've already heard it a thousand times, but you are going to LOVE PIR. Savor every moment of it.

I just got back from a visit to see my sailor in Monterey and it's a wonderful place to be stationed. My son has been there since January, 30th 2010 and he'll be there until July 2011 - if he graduates on time (fingers crossed and prayers sent daily).

Comment by Rames on August 30, 2010 at 5:48pm: Hello fellow CTI Moms ;)
I will be celebrating my son's PIR this Thursday 9/2 DIV 289...thought I better go ahead and jump on board here to get a feel for what his A school is gonna be like.
He leaves for Monterey two days after PIR.
I am so lookin forward to visiting him in that beautiful region of Cali =)
My name is Rami (rhymes with Amy)

Comment by Nancy (Taylor's mom) on August 30, 2010 at 9:44am: Hi CTI Moms!! I just back from a weekend visit to see Taylor in Monterey. It was awesome. Our sailors are very lucky to be stationed in such a cool place. We went to Big Sur, Carmel and did the 17 Mile Drive - and also visited the infamous Del Monte shopping center that gobbled up Taylor's first 2 paychecks when he first arrived there ;o).
