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 proud2baNavyMom on September 27, 2011 at 9:03am: It is ok if you can not make it understandable with traveling on the same day as event. Hope to meet you all at PIR

Comment by Judi(NavyMom) on September 26, 2011 at 9:25pm: I just booked our flight...I doubt if we can get their on time. I need to "unconfirm"

my party of 4. Sorry.

Comment by moand 04/821 PIR 10/14 on September 26, 2011 at 8:48pm: Would love to come, but probably won't get there till late.

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on September 26, 2011 at 7:44pm: past that is ok I understand we all took off work thursday for that reason I know not everyone can do that so I completely understand we can meet up at PIR. I will be the one in the Navy bluee long sleeve shirt that has Navy Mom on it in rhinestones. Hope noone else wears something similar LOL

Comment by JnKMom916 on September 26, 2011 at 2:03pm: Me plus 3.

Comment by lymurphy1262 on September 23, 2011 at 2:25pm: There will be 4 of us coming to the meet and greet. Really looking forward to it.

Comment by past45 on September 22, 2011 at 1:26pm: Proud2b, I had put there would be 4 of us coming. I don't think we will be making it in time for the meet and greet. Our daughter has to work until late afternoon, and we have a 6-7 hour drive, so hopefully we will just get to meet some of you Friday at PIR. So I changed from maybe to not coming. I wish we would be there. Have a good time everyone!
