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 BarbRags on January 22, 2014 at 9:37am: O'Hare is the airport for Norfolk.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on January 22, 2014 at 8:19am: From the posts we had on here a few weeks ago it seems that most of them fly out of O'Hare. If the travel is during winter months I would guess that Midway would be an option but there is a large USO office at O'Hare so I think they try to ship most out from there.

Welcome aboard and I hope she enjoys her time in.

Comment by LizziesHusband-2/28/14 - 14-091 on January 22, 2014 at 2:44am: Can you tell me what airport your sailors used to fly out of Chicago to Norfolk for a school?

Comment by Laura on January 15, 2014 at 4:53am: Hi all!

Just thawed out from our sub zero temps, and dug out from all of our snow.

I hope that all is well with the group! Me, I'm just waiting for Spring!

Comment by RunnerLHB on January 1, 2014 at 3:06pm: Is there a FB page for IS or for Dam Neck

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on December 9, 2013 at 3:10pm: My son flew out I think, at 11:00am. My flight left earlier but he had to leave GL for the airport at like 5:30 or 6:00 that morning. I was ok with leaving him at the concourse with a bunch of other sailors. He had his electronics so he was fine and he even called me twice before I boarded my plane just to say thanks for coming to PIR and he wished us a safe flight home.

Comment by BarbRags on December 9, 2013 at 10:03am: My son had a 1:15 flight. I know crazy I can remember that. He got to the airport around 2am. We ended up meeting him at USO. You're able to go upstairs to get them. Have him wait there for you. It's so much more comfortable for them. The have big comfy chairs usually they have snacks and drinks for them too.
