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 Cheryl on January 24, 2012 at 11:29pm: Hey all, and welcome to all the new moms. This is a wonderful site. I'm not on here as much as I use to be, as when I son was first in. My son is stationed in San Diego and will be in 4 yrs. this Aug. PIR is a special time for you and your sailor. I live close to VA. Had really hoped to go the the get together in Dec. but missed it, so hoping to get to go if they do another one.

Comment by unc80 on January 24, 2012 at 9:57pm: Hi, My SR also has a PIR date of 02/17. I'm in Salisbury. Flying to O'Hare on 02/16. Can't wait. He then goes to Nuke school in Goose Creek which is only 4 hours away. Thrilled about that.

Comment by Chris, Forever Ray's Proud Mom on January 24, 2012 at 9:14pm: Hi Chocolatelablover, We're about 4 hr apart according to map quest. Have a great time at PIR-get as much info as u can off the site as I was unaware of all the activities that go on! And sit high in the stands in front of your son's group (there are signs). There is SO much to take photos of if you take a camera. Wish I had a video, wide angle on a tripod just to catch a glimpse of everything! Some of the ceremony takes up the entire field house--I loved it. Nothing like a military ceremony. I am vet of Army. My older brother was a corpsman in the Navy (70's) and liked it. My son is ET in A school at GL at least until April. Have a great trip.

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 24, 2012 at 8:53pm: Hi Chris! Welcome. I am fairly new here myself. My son is still in BC with PIR on 17 Feb. He goes to San Antonio for Corpsman school. I am up in South Mills, north of Elizabeth City.

Comment by Chris, Forever Ray's Proud Mom on January 24, 2012 at 5:44pm: Hi All, New here, just became Navy Mom in March 2011. Live in Graham, just west of Chapel Hill. Nice to be here.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 13, 2012 at 11:12am: Anyone who lives in the Brevard, Hendersonville, or Asheville area who likes to scrapbook we are having a FREE 2 day crop at a local school next Saturday and Sunday (21st & 22nd) Just bring your pics and paper, you can share our tools and Cricut machines and cartridges. Between us we have 60 to 70 cartridges to choose from. We always have a great time and would love to have you join us. Let me know if you would like to come. Send me a message on here or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 13, 2012 at 11:05am: Thanks so much b2pooh, I look forward to that. Send me a message and we will plan something. Look at South West out of Asheville to Milwaukee, they usually have the best deals, no fee for a checked bag and no change fee. Sometimes you can get lucky and get very cheap flights. Talk soon :-) I think I am taking the girls and a couple friends to the movies tomorrow afternoon at the Biltmore Grande if you would like to join me and 4 teenage girls that would be awesome :-)
