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 diannep on April 10, 2011 at 1:39pm: So, janlee....do you have your sailor with you?

Comment by janlee on April 10, 2011 at 1:31pm: navyGF--do you mean lalas ribbons?...if so, just click on her profile pic and scroll down to watch her photo reel. You will see them up close. They are very cute, and look great in a scrapbook as well..:))

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 10, 2011 at 12:49pm: Is there anyway I can see the ribbons and how much are they?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 10, 2011 at 9:40am: jdmom- I would be the same as you. I waited to hang my blue star flag until after I got the call. I know you are supposed to wait to hang it anyway but even if you weren't i would have waited on that call. I also didn't wear a ribbon that I made until I got the call, then i wore it everywhere lol.

Thanks ladies for all the nice compliments about the PIR ribbons I make. I am so glad you all like them. :-)

Comment by jdmom on April 10, 2011 at 8:13am: I have already apologized to everyone and let my boss know if my phone rings I will be dropping everything to take the call. I have a great boss and she now reminds me to take my cell phone when I walk away from my desk.

Regarding the "I'm a Sailor" , we purchased a Navy Banner to hang in front of our house the deal is as soon as the call comes in it will go up. We didn't want to jinx anything as we have a family in our neighborhood whose son went to the Naval Academy and the flag went up the day he left, a couple weeks later it was down because he did not make it through boot camp it was hard on the family so the flag is folded waiting to fly.

Comment by diannep on April 10, 2011 at 8:11am: Ditto on Lala's ribbons! She gets them to you fast and they are very pretty!

Comment by MK on April 10, 2011 at 8:02am: Lala Ribbon Queen makes somes amazing ribbons to wear to PIR. Its not too early to place an order with her. I can tell you from experience that it made finding our son much easier. Many of the boys saw the ribbon with his name and pointed me in the right direction. Plus the ribbons are an awesome keepsake afterwards.

Comment by itsmemom on April 9, 2011 at 10:30pm: that time works--I work in a high school, not supposed to take calls during class time. But, I am done working @ 2:40 est. Besides if that phone rings-I will take it!!!

Comment by diannep on April 9, 2011 at 9:38pm: They usually do start around 2 pm GL time as SubWife said, but they can go for a long time. Lowest numbered divisions usually call first or simultaneously.
