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."

BoosMom, I wanted to let you know that I found my son in the pictures of the PIR from today. Wow! I feel much better now.  I know how you must have felt last week when you saw your daughter in the graduation from last week.  Just one more week to go and we see them in person!!

Thank you so much for your information.  I am such a worrier and always think the worst.  You have helped to ease my mind.  I am so grateful.  See you next Thursday at Meet and Greet and thank you personally.

Hi BoosMom, my son is in the same division as your daughter.  Is your daughter doing the same thing in all 3 of the PIRs that they are in?  My son said that he is carrying the Alabama flag for their PIR, but it wasn't him holding the Albama flag in last Fridays PIR.  Also I am so worried, he was so faithful in writing every week and now we did not get a letter last week or today.

It looks like you have joined the PIR 07/22/2011 already, so you are in good shape. You'll just have to wait for the form letter to come. SAVE THAT letter - important - will have your password for getting parking pass.  Just be sure to join this group for info everything for PIR

My son left last Weds, May 18th and arrived at Great Lakes the next day, Thursday, May 19th.  The "box" came today, Weds May 25.  The FedEx pkg was mailed on Friday the 20th.  His pants legs were rolled up just like I've been reading in other posts.
