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 Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 8, 2011 at 9:29am: Happy Mothers Day everyone. Our recruits Dads are lucky PIR is Fathers Day weekend. I am praying for a call.

Comment by MamaCindy (MMW TM) on May 8, 2011 at 8:57am: Happy Mother's Day! I'm thankful for all you ladies out there who are feeling a little lost without their sons or daughters on a mothers day without them. We should tell future recruits to buy birthday or mother/father's day card before they go if they are going to be at boot camp on one of those occasions. I think they would truly want to but none of us would think of it with all that goes on before they go! I think that's what I'm missing the most today (besides him) is the sweet cards he always picked out for me himself. I'll just treasure those memories today and wait for our call sometime next week. That "3-week" point is coming! We can make it if they can! Hang in there and have a happy mother's day!

Comment by Linda on May 8, 2011 at 8:12am: Thank You and Happy Mother's day to all of you beautiful friends I have been going through this with God bless you all

Comment by diannep on May 8, 2011 at 8:03am: Happy Mothers Day to all!

Comment by diannep on May 8, 2011 at 8:02am: If any of you have been following the whale beaching that is happening down here in S. Florida, our Navy sailors were a part of the rescue operation and were interviewed the other day about their part in this. They were very happy to be helping!

Comment by Sunnyb on May 8, 2011 at 7:16am: Happy Mother's Day ladies.... Holding our phones close today with much hope!

Comment by Linda on May 7, 2011 at 10:59pm: Yes Thank you It does help Alot

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 7, 2011 at 10:47pm: Linda- If I remember correctly the Brochure doesn't have a lot of stuff that you really need. It tells about PIR and it has hotel listed on it. We stayed at the Navy Lodge, I think it was $65 a night and we got a room with a kitchen for that same price. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Since you are flying I would recommend renting a car. YOu can get one for the whole weekend for less than what a taxi ride from either airport to the hotel will cost. I have also heard that is may be less expensive to fly into Milwaukee than Ohare and the drive is only a few mile more but the traffic is not near as bad as coming from Chicago. And Southwest Airlines has some pretty good deal with no change fee and the first 2 checked bags are usually free. I hope that helps :-)

Comment by Mommabee2 on May 7, 2011 at 10:38pm: So, still waiting for any communication with my son, except the form letter---hoping tomorrow is the day--would be the best mother's day gift in the world!! I'm always wondering what he is doing.
