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."

NavyMomBlessed, that is great news!

I just got my call!!! Delayed does not mean denied.  God is faithful! He passed his PFA, he will be in holding for the next 2 weeks, awaiting the next BattleStations.  Happy Tears everywhere!!

There are to be calls on Thursday since the last two divisions did not make calls on Wednesday. Hopefully that will let more make it to PIR on Friday.

@lemonelephant- As always, thanks for keeping us in the know.
@Ghgirl- Praying with you for our calls today.
Comment by lemonelephant on February 8, 2017 at 2:05am

It is very possible that tonight is the last BST until 02/23/2017 or possibly 02/26/2017 depending on when the first divisions of the 03/03/2017 TG have BST since there is no PIR for the next two weeks. Hopefully many of you will receive calls on Wednesday.
