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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 25, 2011 at 9:01am: that is awesome fireteam, I am so happy you get that extra time with your Sailor :-) Travel safely everyone and have a wonderful time :-)

Comment by diannep on May 25, 2011 at 7:24am: fireteamleaderwife: YAH! That is exactly why we tell you all to try and book through the weekend...just in case...because as you have found out, plans can change! So glad you are getting extra time with your new sailor!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 25, 2011 at 2:10am: Okay, blog tomorrow about adventure...obviously need to go to bed!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 25, 2011 at 2:07am: WE ARE HERE!

I think I might blgao about it on the site as I feel "blabbery" bout our adventure getting here! We don't travel by air and all the "special" packing etc has been a challenge for us first timers! Security at the AP etc. and through it all...being COMPLETLY exhausted (I kept falling asleep when I was getting my mani/pedi on Sunday), EVERYONE has been so curtious and helpful all along the way! What a blessing. Having fun in spite of being so tired.

Glad I booked an extra day "in front" of PIR and now REALLY glad I booked to stay until Sunday as my Sailor called while I was flying(left a message) and told me that plans had changed and he would now leave Sunday not Friday! WOO-HOO!

You know...I'm not surprised...it's the military way! It had crossed my mind too when I was on the plane! LOL

EGO sum paratus, Ego sum lentesco, EGO sum fortis...rears it's head again!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 25, 2011 at 1:28am: CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their loved ones! Also, to the Honor Graduates!

Good luck to the 183/184 tonight!

Comment by skell456 (AO wife) on May 25, 2011 at 12:54am: I got a call too they changed his orders again so he dies leave until Sunday now yay!!!!!!! I'm do excited. See all of u soon!
