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 mitchellheard on July 7, 2011 at 8:37am: Hi. My daughter is set to PIR on July 15. Her rate is IC. Anybody have any information on this A school?

Comment by TxNvyMom2011 on July 6, 2011 at 10:42pm: Thanks for the informaiton ebigirl. Hoping to get our DVD from PIR before a family reunion later this month Our PIR was 06/10/2011

Comment by ISH-MOM on July 5, 2011 at 1:01pm: My son just found out he is able to come home. He graduates on Friday. He had to pay for his own ticket. For airline tickets the cheap way, call the airline directly and ask for a military discount tickets for your sailors. they are about half the cost of normal tickets. I found that Delta gives the best rates. Good luck.

Comment by laverne0491 on July 5, 2011 at 12:42pm: How about A school in Conneticut.My grandson is there.thanks

Comment by ebigirl on July 4, 2011 at 4:10am: TxNvyMom2011: We just received "The Keel" (yearbook) on Friday July 1st. Our PIR was 5/6/2011. We received the DVD about 2 weeks before the yearbook. I hope this helps.

Comment by razen3 on July 3, 2011 at 10:44pm: My Kelly sent me a picture on my phone today of her in her white uniform, she looks so nice, I am proud of her. Of course I sent it on to relatives too so they could see her. They all liked her picture. She might get to come home for a visit in August, she was sick so her grad date has changed.
