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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by raeinaz on February 8, 2012 at 4:13pm: We have a Sailor Ship 03 Div 070....all Passed...

Comment by diannep on February 8, 2012 at 1:52pm: Yes, let's hope that the 4 divisions we thought were going through...went through BattleStations last night. Remember, when the calls come in, be sure to ask if all in the division passed and post that. Also, if you are on your sailor's FB, be checking that too since when phone lines are long, they may pay for internet time and post on their FB before they call. Also, remember, that some have "watch" after BattleStations and may miss making their call. That's why it helps if someone can post if all in the division passed.

Calls could start in the next couple of hours. Phones handy!

Comment by lakemarymom on February 8, 2012 at 12:33pm: Waiting for a call. Should have gone throught BS last night.

Comment by MamaBear on February 8, 2012 at 12:04pm: Ok, so now we finally know 12/074 is RED, and 03/070 is GREEN (and or with white, :) I'm with chocolatelablover, WEIGH IN HERE AND FEEL UNITED! We just want our sailors to see us in the BIG crowd :) Do we have around 7 divisions for this PIR? I think I'll ask lala, she knows everything!

Comment by chocolatelablover on February 8, 2012 at 11:44am: While reviewing all of the groups in this PIR Group I found some Ships/Divisions asking about scarf colors. While it is very apparent on some of the discussions, there are some who have not selected/posted a color. My suggestion is for each group to perhaps post it on this main PIR discussion page. SHIP 12 DIV 074 has chosen RED. I have seen green & yellow but I don't want to assume anything. We all know what assume means. If you don't mind posting it might be helpful to others in your Ship/Div who are searching. Thanks!

Comment by raeinaz on February 8, 2012 at 11:05am: Good Morning...8 Days...Love the count down...:)

Comment by MamaBear on February 8, 2012 at 10:56am: Great article explaining more detail of the 12 hours of BS, I was just trying to find out more about the capping ceremony!
