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 Mommabee2 on June 17, 2011 at 9:05am: Congrat's ladies to you and all of your sailors! I am there in spirit, but can't be in two places at one time. My mom just called, is at PIR, and said there are people everywhere!! I wish I could be there, but can't wait to see my sailor soon!! Best of luck to all of you! THEY DID IT!!!!!

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 17, 2011 at 8:37am: We are here sitting waiting for it to start. Were so excited. I'm so excited.

So so Audrey--he will make it

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 17, 2011 at 8:30am: Audrey- I am so sorry that he has to stay another couple of weeks. I know you all must be devastated to get that far and then get that news. I know this will be hard right now but a year from now a setback of a couple weeks won't seem like such a big deal. The important thing is that he will still become a sailor and he will grow and learn from the experience. I hope you get to see him soon. :-)

Congrats everyone, I hope you have a great time at PIR. It is almost time for those doors to open :-) Enjoy!!!
