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 Sandy's_sailor son on August 5, 2011 at 5:04pm: HM, a Big Bravo Zulu to your daughter for all her hard work. I am very happy that everything worked out. Now she can enjoy her Navy life. Will you be going to see her?

Comment by keger2001 on August 5, 2011 at 5:00pm: HM congratulations!

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 5, 2011 at 4:57pm: I am now the happy mother of a sailor. She passed PFA Wednesday and did Battle Stations last night.

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers.

ProudSistah, thank you especially for giving me reason to light the blue candle. I can't thank you enough.

Comment by keger2001 on August 5, 2011 at 10:29am: Parrothdgal, I didn't write,mine was only in FIT 7 days. mine missed his PIR, b ut he wasn't worried about it, he was just glad to get out of basic

Comment by Parrothdgal on August 5, 2011 at 10:19am: I would not write, he will retest every other day and will likely do bs in time for pir. Unless pir was today. Either way he will not be there long. Letters I wrote ended up back to me a month later. Hang in there it happens a lot. Was he ill?

Comment by keger2001 on August 5, 2011 at 9:54am: Aces mom you can call PAO and they can give you his address. Praying for you and your family to get thru this trying time. Please know that we are all here for you and everyone who has loved ones in FIT..

Comment by acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on August 5, 2011 at 9:51am: I'm sitting here at home watching the clock. How sad is it is for us Moms who don't get the experience of PIR, but How very sad for our children who worked so hard and don't get to participate in this grand ceremony. I'm sure they are having a hard time, also. thinking about all of them and praying that they are ok and will get through this.

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 5, 2011 at 8:47am: Acesmom,

I have been sending letters to her old div with the words "Forward to FIT" written prominently on the envelope.

Comment by acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on August 5, 2011 at 8:40am: My son was supposed to PIR today but didn't pass his run. I haven't written to him in a week because I thought he would be out of there. Where do I get a new address to write him?
