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 navymom3 on June 14, 2011 at 9:46pm: Lizzy after they have completed battle stations. Which should be the week of graduation starting the thursday before. It happens all night long and 2 divisions usually go at the same time. But they won't get to call until the afternoon on the day after. After they have been up for about 36hrs.

Comment by Elizabeth on June 14, 2011 at 9:13pm: when does the i am a sailor call come

Comment by navymom3 on June 14, 2011 at 8:57pm: Welcome Capricorna, We do have a packing party coming up but not until aug or sept. They have not decided on a exact date yet. Glad your son passed his pfa. Just have battle stations to finish. You are going to enjoy PIR. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on June 14, 2011 at 8:34pm: My son passed his 2nd PFA. He said the swim test was easy - I remember him hanging on the side of the pool for dear life as a 5 yr old... His PIR (if all goes well) is 07/01/2011. I can't wait to get the "I'm a Sailor" call.

Please let me know if there is anything going on in Florida for Navy Moms.

Comment by Elizabeth on June 13, 2011 at 11:58pm: yeah i think he takes it this week or next.

Comment by navymom3 on June 13, 2011 at 11:54pm: Lizzy- Since your pir isn't until 7-22 you have a while to find out if they passed everything. If he has not already passed his pt test he gets more chances. The last chance is just before battlestations which is the last test. I think everyone passes it though unless they fall a sleep or totally mess up. Have not heard of anyone not passing it. It's the PT test that gets a few of them. They will get to call home after they get there sailor cap. I would write him and see if he has passed the whole pt and swim tests.

Comment by Elizabeth on June 13, 2011 at 11:50pm: July 22

Comment by navymom3 on June 13, 2011 at 11:49pm: If they did not pass something you will get a call on monday before PIR. When is your PIR.

Comment by Elizabeth on June 13, 2011 at 11:18pm: when do they call you when they passed everything?

Comment by navymom3 on June 12, 2011 at 5:45pm: ptelinda-Congrats on PIR last week. You might want to join the group sailors in Pensacola for A school. I think some of them have Air rescue swimmers. And there might even be a page also. Mine is CTM and we are in Middleburg.
