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 MommaCindy(Ship 11 Div 180) on May 13, 2011 at 12:41pm: Proudnavymom-go to any dollar store and buy a little girls necklace that has a hook on the end (sometimes thay have bubbles, sometimes candy) and attach

your phone to it. If you stuff it in your shirt you can feel the vibration.

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on May 13, 2011 at 10:41am: Hi Lala, I was buried in a sea of e-mails and missed reading yours. Thank goodness for N4M! I just sent you an e-mail and would love to consolidate my order. It's a graduation extravaganza for us and these ribbons are a lovely touch!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 13, 2011 at 9:53am: Thanks Joan, did you get my message about the ribbons for college graduation? If you want those I can make them and send them all together to save you money on shipping.

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on May 13, 2011 at 9:47am: Thank you Lala Ribbon Queen. You are the Queen!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 13, 2011 at 9:15am: Navymomyoung, Karina, & LisaB- I am finished with your ribbons to wear to PIR and they were shipped this morning :-) Yet another reason to stalk the Mailman lol

1fireteamwife- yours were shipped a couple days ago, you may get them today but probably tomorrow.

Others were also shipped today that came from email orders, sorry I don't know your N4M names :-)

Comment by kari (ship 11 div 180) on May 13, 2011 at 8:26am: I received a letter from my SR dated 5/5/11 and he said Battle Stations for ship 11 div 180 (PIR 5/26/11) were in two weeks to the day. So that would make it Thursday, May 19. Looking forward to that call.

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2011 at 8:07am: There is still an issue in the 5/20 group on whether some divisions are doing BattleStations on Wed/Thurs (May 18th/19th) or the day before. They usually don't mix PIR groups in BattleStations (except for individuals making up BattleStations). So I have posted 179/180 as going on Thurs/Fri at this point, even though I know some of you were told Wed/Thurs. Keep posting if you get confirmed dates for your divisions.

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on May 13, 2011 at 6:57am: I got a call late last night, He wanted to make sure I was able to get his GF a plane ticket. He said the Gas Chamber was not that bad. He faile a inspction because he was messin around in the laundry room...why am I not supprised! LOL he said it was ok though because he had passed every other one. I am syked for PIR!

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on May 12, 2011 at 10:05pm: Thanks Cindy, my asthma isnt really acting up today so thats good! I just hope the next two weeks fly by and i dont have any more problems

Comment by Karina (ship 11/Div. 179) on May 12, 2011 at 9:22pm: Proudnavymom: I am with you and I know what you mean...
