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 meryl (ship 09 division 208) on May 23, 2011 at 3:45pm: Patti, it was good to hear from you! I'm not sure either why I didn't get your replies but I am so happy that your son is doing well. It would be nice if our sons knew each other. Who knows?! Take care and my prayers are with you and your son.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 23, 2011 at 8:37am: mks- my daughter was in the 900 DIV, she was in the choir. The only thing they had to do after the ceremony was put away everything, such as flags, instruments etc. And believe me they did that very quickly lol. It didn't really seem like they took any longer to get to us than the other sailors took to get to their families :-) We got to spend 7 hours with her on Friday after PIR.

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on May 23, 2011 at 8:29am: Good morning everyone. KC's mom, I really miss my boy too! But it won't be long now before we see them at their PIR. I'm counting down the days.

Comment by KC'smom on May 23, 2011 at 8:21am: @Joy, my son is the mailman, too!! Same division. Unless, he has passed the torch to your daughter now and has been given a new title. He says being the mailman is awesome b/c you don't get yelled at as much as some of the other jobs. I miss my boy.
