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 Denise - browns57 on November 29, 2011 at 3:51pm: Congrats to you & your Sailor! Enjoy PIR and your short visit, its all very worth the trip.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on November 29, 2011 at 3:44pm: Woo hoo!! There's a Sailor in the house!!! Woo hoo!! I'm so proud of my son!! So excited to see him on Friday!!! HOOYAH!!! Div 015

Comment by Suzi-OH on November 25, 2011 at 5:18pm: I was sure there was something organized, but you know that somebody alwauys tries to pull a fast one. At my son's PIR girls in another division cost their whole div liberty cuz they got hair cuts..in another div it was coming in after curfew....also have heard of some being caught drinking PIR weekend and sneaking in cell phones. It's too easy to get the boot to risk it. Plus, kids got called in about things that were posted on-line by family members. Mine rarely posts pics and took his FB down while at SERE. Better safe than sorry, especially for those who hope to become officers.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on November 25, 2011 at 4:25pm: Suzi-OH - The SR's that PIR 12/2 and 12/16 were able to participate in the Thanksgiving adopt a sailor program yesterday and were taken off base to various community organizations that supplied them with food, games, computers, phones, etc for use while they were there.

Comment by Suzi-OH on November 25, 2011 at 12:46pm: Sharon - thanks for the info!!

Diane - Awesome news!!!

Comment by Suzi-OH on November 25, 2011 at 12:31am: Someone had a cell phone at BC??? Better hope it wasn't someone else going through BC.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on November 24, 2011 at 11:23pm: I was able to talk to my son 3 times and he texted me a pic that someone took of him on their cell phone!! What a blessed Thanksgiving it was!!! Only 7 more days to PIR!!! woo hoo!!!

Comment by icalldoovers on November 24, 2011 at 8:08pm: What an amazing Thanksgiving!!! Talked to my SR a lot today, the kids were even on facebook posting pics! They look wonderful and it sounded like they also had a great Thanksgiving. God bless those that adopted our kids!!!! Heard they had a police escort and were on the news!

Comment by ProudNavyMom on November 24, 2011 at 5:20pm: I'm a happy mom! Got to talk to my SR twice today!!!! It has been a great Thanksgiving. The only thing that would make it better was if I was able to see him in person. But that will come in one more week when I see him at PIR!!!!
