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 Paymaster on May 11, 2009 at 3:21pm: Leslie....Thank you for you comment. I did hear from my son late last night. They had been out on patrol and got in late last night. He needed to make sure all his men got to call their mom's and wives before he could call. He is a ture leader, always taking care of his men.

He sounded good. He said it had been raining there and they where in the mud a good deal of the time. He is counting the days until he departs and come back stateside.

Congratulations and enjoy your time with your mid and his friend!! What a great blessing to get to have your mid and another one together to hear about things that are uniquely Annapolis.

How did the mids do in the triathalon? Well, I hope. Thanks so much for the heartfelt Mother's Day well wishes.

Comment by Paymaster on May 8, 2009 at 5:13pm: Ladies....I to miss those days when mine was a mid. The last mothers day I got to spend with mine son was in 2000 when he was 2nd class. The day we spent together is still fresh on my mind.

If I am really lucky I will get to hear from my son this weekend. He is on his thrid deployment to the middle east.

Hope all you ladies have a wonderful Mothers day!

Comment by B mom of S on April 24, 2009 at 4:18pm: Yes we are members of both the USNA and GA USNA. Nobody has seen anything official, but the site was a WEALTH of information, including how to prepare for Plebe Summer. I am sure I will feel much better for PPW, than I day......shopping for comfortable shoes and cool clothing!

Comment by B mom of S on April 23, 2009 at 7:29pm: PPW... anybody heard any dates for sure? B & G officer told us to book today, so we have 2 weekends booked. Hate to hold a room for that long.

Comment by Sherry James on April 15, 2009 at 12:11am: Congratulations Leslie!! That sounds so exciting for your youngster mid to be participating in triathalons at home. Do you know if he'll get to come home again later for another block? Hopefully, huh...lol

I thought PIR = Pass In Review, the parade done before a graduation. Maybe it has 2 meanings.

Comment by Paymaster on April 6, 2009 at 3:27pm: All....I am in need of some assistance. It may seem a little thing, but it means a great deal to my 4 year old granddaughter. My son will be transfering from the east coast to the west coast this summer. My granddaughter has two little fish that she has had for a couple of years. She is already anixous about the move and wants to make sure her fish go with her.

Has anyone out there had experience moving and taking along fish? Any recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Comment by B mom of S on April 5, 2009 at 9:08pm: Anybody know if there is an acronym page..... I know I will get up to speed soon enough.

Dare I ask... what is PIR?

Comment by Kim - Josh's Mom on April 5, 2009 at 7:12pm: Youngest son, Daniel, in 10th grade is on NJROTC trip to Annapolis. He would really love to go there so this trip will be like none other. Can't wait to hear what he has to say about it!
