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 texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on May 6, 2011 at 4:54pm: Karina, our SR's are in the same DIV. that is exciting to find someone in the same ship and div. :) Is your SR going to be a corpman? We will have to leave Sunday pretty early because, our plan leaves at 4:40 in Chicago.

Comment by Karina (ship 11/Div. 179) on May 6, 2011 at 4:51pm: Texasmom, Hi our SR's are in the same Div. I'm staying until Monday evening, the plane tickets were cheaper if you stay the weekend, plus my SR is going to A school in Great Lakes....

Comment by Karina (ship 11/Div. 179) on May 6, 2011 at 4:48pm: Hello everybody, can you believe I literally chased the mailmen today LOL Left work early saw the mailmen on my way home, got home and had a notification that I have a letter that has postage due on it..... I got right back in my car and the chase was on....yup I tracked him down and got my letter LOL and yes it was from my SR, he had sent back a lot of the letters I've written him. Can't say I ever thought I would go chasing after the mailmen :-))

Comment by D for Megan on May 6, 2011 at 4:30pm: I'll be staying at the Navy Lodge for PIR, and I'm going to drive my POV to Chicago, so I'll have some room available for passengers, if necessary.

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on May 6, 2011 at 4:20pm: D for Megan,

I think just over the past 30 days or less they have changed A school for corpman to San Anontio. That is what my SR told me.

Comment by D for Megan on May 6, 2011 at 4:19pm: texasmom: last I knew, HM school was in Great Lakes. Are you sure your SR is going to San Antonio?

Comment by diannep on May 6, 2011 at 2:52pm: texasmom: Lala drove from NavyLodge when there and said it wasn't bad. They don't have the PIR shuttle service, but I understand you can take a regular taxi. Might be able to share with others there if you won't fill one up. But the driving shouldn't be bad...this is a small PIR group.

Comment by diannep on May 6, 2011 at 2:49pm: Mine flew Delta when flying from GL, but not sure how many other airlines they use.

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on May 6, 2011 at 1:55pm: Thank you Proud Navy Mom, I am flying and didn't want to book a one way ticket because, they do alot more searching and cause red flags when you go one way. And I knew the air lines fare would be more expensive if I wait. It was enough as it was. I wish I could take a train but, from Texas it would take forever getting there. How did you find out when your SR was going to fly out? When they fly out what airlines do they use. Do you know?

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on May 6, 2011 at 12:10pm: why are you all saying 20 days? i dont count the hours as a full day..... i say 19 days 23 hours and 49 minutes. makes it seem shorter
