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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 7, 2010 at 11:12am: Lynne I think I would like to hear you say that lol, and maybe my friends from Boston could say it too, that would be a riot. Penny I am glad they didn't charge you again, too bad they didn't just refund the other charge as well.

Comment by Lynne on December 7, 2010 at 12:44am: Yep Lala when I say Y'all sure you know what you guys are doing...it probably doesn't sound quite right...lol

Comment by Dana - Ship 11 / Div 361 on December 7, 2010 at 12:10am: Hello Everyone! I'm another mom with the wrong PIR date information. I already see a few familiar names and looking forward to getting to know all of the rest of you.

Comment by Sharon*MA mom* on December 7, 2010 at 12:09am: I'm so happy to have a letter and a home, can't wait for 1/28/2011!!! Nice to have a group of moms going through the same things. How crazy this 1/21 or 1/28 thing has been, just happy to know when I get to see my boy!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 6, 2010 at 10:24pm: Well, glad to be back in this group. Been playing ping pong for a bit but now ... maybe, we are here for good. Hope so as I'd really like to know who I'm going to meet and greet when we get there. So, now how do we find the meet and greet group for this and how do we RSVP? Is there one set up yet? And does the Ramada just do this every week for all the graduates families?

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on December 6, 2010 at 10:17pm: Uhm, they should be recieving letters this week or if you live close may have already recieved. Thier mail is slightly slower than ours, because of how it has to be sorted and such.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 6, 2010 at 9:37pm: Hey Denise:

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 6, 2010 at 9:33pm: Lala, yes I had already paid to change flights but begged and pleased and was so emotionally drained that I was in tears but they agreed not to charge me AGAIN.

Comment by Kathy Ship 11 Div 057 on December 6, 2010 at 9:31pm: yep...we are officially back in PIR 1/28. whew it was a rough road today back and forth..felt like a yo you today lol

so...HELLO PIR 1/28 MOMS!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 6, 2010 at 8:38pm: Lynne you crack me up with your "North Dakota Southern Style" best laugh I have had in a week. I am glad you have someone to call to find out the answers needed about PIR dates. I just hope no one had already payed to change flights.

Kimby- sorry it took me so long to respond, I was working on ribbons for 12/22 PIR. The ribbons are for all family members and friends to wear to PIR and or the Meet and Greet. Some people even order them for family who can't go so that they have a keepsake. The ribbons have the name on one side, div on the other with stars and an anchor. They are all hand made by me for just the cost of materials and shipping. $5.00 each plus shipping ($5.00 to ship no matter how many ribbons you get) They are a great way to show your pride for your sailor, an awesome way to recognize other Navy for Mom members, suitable for men and women, and make a great keepsake for scrapbooks or shadow boxes. You can see the pics below and if you would more info or to place an order just send me a friend request and I will send you the info. Thanks!!! I will also say they look a million times better in person than they do in the pics. You can go to groups who have already had PIR and ask them how much they liked them. :-)
