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."

Hi Navy Nana ~ Thanks for the message! Yes, I find the PIR 09/02/10 group somewhat overwhelming. Some people seem to be able to stay online all day long! When you are searching for something specific, its hard to find. Anyway, I am so glad we connected! My daughter's name is Megan and she was selected to be the Master at Arms (the division police officer) which I guess has made her somewhat unpopular with the other recruits. Its one of the hard lessons of leadership. I pray for her all the time and will do the same for your granddaughter. Especially since I learned that this is "hell week." What is her name? Stay in touch...

I can't wait for PIR either. It will be my summer vacation trip! I hope that we can all be friends online here and help each other out. I am not sad or anything but excited for my daughter. I am a firm believer that the testament to good parenting is that your children can grow up and embrace life and leave the nest. I am so proud of my baby girl!

Hi Nvay Nana,

My son is on Ship 11 Div 299. I received "The Box" on friday and just waiting for the letter regarding graduation. My son is my only child so this has been very emotional but also I am so proud of my son.
