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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 31, 2012 at 10:52pm: I know way more than I ever wanted to about cars breaking down while on vacation after our truck needing a new rear end summer before last when we were in FL. It was in the shop for 9 days :(

For anyone visiting Pensacola you absolutely must try Flounders restaurant at Pensacola Beach. They have the BEST Key Lime pie in the world. Yummy!!!!

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 31, 2012 at 7:54pm: My SR is going to Corpsman school. Any others from this PIR group?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 31, 2012 at 5:39pm: raeinaz, you may just see that happen. I went to Pensacola to see my son in A school and we had dinner with another sailor from his boot camp class and his family, who were there at the same time. The 2nd time that I went to FL to visit my son, we had plans to get together with yet a different sailor and his family, who was also visiting, but unfortunately we couldn't at the last minute. Their car broke down and they actually ended up buying a new car while they were in FL because it had pretty much died.

Comment by raeinaz on January 31, 2012 at 2:23pm: So, we all may see each other again in San Antonio :)

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 31, 2012 at 1:24pm: raeinaz, we are also flying into Milwaukee, same reason, plus less traffic. Temps are very unseasonably warm.

Barbie, I was told that they do keep the interstates very clear when we were deciding to drive or fly. Still decided to fly because SR's dad flies to Korea on the 20th....frequent flier miles for a trip to San Antonio when he grads from A school :-)

Comment by raeinaz on January 31, 2012 at 1:12pm: Chocolatelablover....I don't know if I need a wool coat if the weather stays like it is today...Did you see the temp right now in Great Lakes. 50? are my eyes deceiving me today....I know this cannot be normal at all...I had to fight to get time off for PIR so we will be flying in on the 16th....we will be doing lots of praying for no snow. We are flying into Milwaukee....I heard a lot less cancelled flights

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 31, 2012 at 11:33am: chocolatelover, it is a great idea to get there a day or so beforehand, if you are able too.

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 31, 2012 at 11:33am: We are flying in at noon on the 16th. The rest of my group could not get off of school or work on the 15th. I have been praying for good travel weather since he enlisted last June. I am so afraid of not being able to fly. I will drive if I have to though.

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 31, 2012 at 11:24am: Tuesday Trivia!!!!! Who is prepared?

Raeinaz..I believe you will need that wool coat. I ordered a new one also for PIR. I have not really needed it this winter; Which concerns me

Earlier in Jan, I told all my co-workers, family & friends to watch out for Feb. Then yesterday, Jim Cantore of the weather channel was discussing the change of weather pattern that seems to be developing for mid-Feb. We are flying to GL on the 15th because of my concern for a snow storm. Hope some of you are doing that too. Every prayer has a no snow request. Have a great day!
