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 SubWife2011 on May 4, 2011 at 3:04am: Duane K Scarlett's Dad: The password should be in the form letter you got in the first couple weeks of boot camp.

AnnaElizabeth: It's supposed to be raining the 11th and 12th and in the high 50's, but they don't show the forecast for the 13th until tomorrow on weather.com. So I hope it's not raining and cold. The dress I bought is sleeveless, but I got a short sleeve sweater/bolero to go over it, and I am wearing flipflops.

Comment by Duane K Scarlett's Dad on May 4, 2011 at 1:52am: Can anyone tell me how to get the password to enable me to print off my gate pass for PIR on the 13th?

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on May 4, 2011 at 1:45am: Aw subwife that's just what ive been doing! I want to get my nails done too. How cold do you think it will be there? Are your clothes you bought long sleeved or no?

Comment by SubWife2011 on May 4, 2011 at 1:39am: I got my PIR outfit and the outfit for the airport last weekend. I am getting my hair done on Friday too! I really wanna get my nails done, but I probably won't end up doing that.

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on May 4, 2011 at 1:06am: Has anyone else been shopping for a cute outfit to wear, getting their hair done, etc. for the big day? I've been trying to look my best on pir all for him! :) haha.

Comment by judyb on May 4, 2011 at 12:24am: @brooklynGirl Please don't let what was said in chat bother you. How could your SR be irresponsible? If she had the information, she would tell you. Hopefully, after Battlestations we will get more concrete information.

Comment by Colleen112 on May 3, 2011 at 10:04pm: Welcome Soh@ppy to Div 170. We are all overwhelmed with the excitement of our sons becoming sailors in just a couple days and are so looking forward to 5/13 when we can see them. We will all be rejoicing with one another and we all will be part of the Navy family, glad to have you with us!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 3, 2011 at 9:54pm: I am having so much trouble with my email on this site. I thought it was fixed but it is not. I cannot send a reply to any messages and when I try to the whole message disappears. If you have sent me a message asking questions or wanting info about ordering the PIR ribbons please send me the message to my regular email address: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com and include your N4M's name and PIR date so I know who you are. I know several others are having problems with the email on this site as well. :-( Thanks, Lala

Comment by BrooklynGirl on May 3, 2011 at 9:16pm: Thanks ladies, I was just on the chat and the women there seem to think my daughter should have known by now if she was a Grad and Go or when she was leaving. Kind of hinted that she was irresponsible for not knowing. ????

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2011 at 9:02pm: BrooklynGirl: I agree with judy. RTC has said that all attending A School out of state will leave on Sat. unless flights are full, in which case they will leave Sun. I would leave your flight for Sun just in case. You can always do a little sightseeing if your sailor has to leave on Sat. That's what we did when up there. But if you SR doesn't leave until Sun, then you are good!
