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 utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors 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 March 14, 2012 at 6:58am: Thanks A' I really appreciate it. I am so glad you finally found them. At least now you have a story to tell lol. I know you are super proud but I guess you will have to remove the pic because of the name on it. Unless it is a first name and not a last :-)

Comment by A` on March 14, 2012 at 12:46am: Love my ribbons...thanks Lala! Just couldn't wait and wore them with pride tonight!!

Comment by JoeyLynn85 on March 13, 2012 at 11:26pm: They all did great on battle stations and then won the captains cup on sat so the rdcs gave them 3 hours of free time on Sunday they could sleep make calls or go on the Internet I talked to my Sa for 2 hours then they had to let another division use the phones so he got on Facebook for an hour!!! It was great we got to catch up a ton and he told me a lot of really funny stories :)

Comment by Robin - Nuke ET on March 13, 2012 at 11:19pm: Good luck to everyone still going through BS. This is such a large group. I got my I'm a Sailor call on Friday which seems like a lifetime ago. I'm thinking about all of you still waiting on your call. It's torture and I know you're sitting there everyday with phone in hand. At this point, they are so strong and determined, don't doubt for a minute that they will succeed. Don't be surprised if your sailor sounds exhausted--mine did AND SICK too! UGH!!

We're leaving for Chicago tomorrow and I just wanted to wish everyone lots of calls, letters and safe travels for those attending PIR this week. I know you are as proud as we are about our son's accomplishments. Surviving bootcamp is huge!! Our Sailors are where they belong and they will continue to make us all proud.

On a lighter note, my son is going to look drop dead gorgeous in his uniform!! LOL I am sooooo excited!!! Talk to all of you soon!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 13, 2012 at 11:10pm: that is amazing JoeyLunn, they must have done outstandingly well :-)

Comment by JoeyLynn85 on March 13, 2012 at 11:03pm: We got an hour to talk to them And then got 2 hour long calls again on Sunday!!! Hooyah!!

Comment by JoeyLynn85 on March 13, 2012 at 11:02pm: Tabby 807 went through BS last week and we got our calls last thursday :)

Comment by SandySea on March 13, 2012 at 10:06pm: Congratulations to all new sailors and their families! I am as proud of them all as of my own son. Good luck to those still going through BS21.
