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 June 14, 2011 at 11:55am: I agree, Patty!

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2011 at 11:54am: tysmom: That is what it appears to be. The 900 divisions perform so much and must prepare for their own PIR. For a while there last summer, seemed like 900 groups always went through BattleStations on Mon nights. Now it is more random...but my "guess" --for what it's worth-- is that they aren't normally the last to go so that they can be practicing....but my son wasn't in the 900 division, so just guessing here from what I have observed!

Yes, this is a very exciting day for those who had SRs (now SAILORS! HOOYAH!) go last night. I was shaking when my son called...and crying but trying to keep him from hearing it (normally, I am not successful at that as he "reads me like a book", but I think he was so tired this time that he didn't seem to notice!). The smile on my face made my face hurt! It truly is such a moment! Can't wait for you all to experience it! POST!

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 14, 2011 at 11:54am: @ Carla - Thanks! I'm keeping my phone close by my side.

@ Diane - I'm hoping last night too. Might make for some VERY tired performers if they didn't go until Wednesday night!

Comment by Squeekerz on June 14, 2011 at 11:50am: argh... this thread is getting insanely hard to even keep watching. :(

Comment by tysmom on June 14, 2011 at 11:48am: So the 900 div go earlier because they have to prepare for the music part of the PIR?

What to do before you go???? Laundry, ( I am doing my SRs. He left it here before he went to BC. I am rather last minute), bake bread (bread maker), uhmmm yard work, dishes, re-varnishing the floor...but I can not seem to keep focused...and my SR does not go till tonight!!!!

I am waiting for your calls!!!! I am sooooo excited for you all! And to think this goes on for multiple SRs and their families almost every week!!!!

Comment by mynavyguy on June 14, 2011 at 11:46am: Good luck to all DIV 205, 206, 207, 208 going thru Battle Stations tonight!

Comment by mynavyguy on June 14, 2011 at 11:40am: Good luck to my buddy Kurt who will be in Battle Stations tonight in DIV 206! I love you and wis you all the luck, strength, courage, determination, honor, and pride to get thru this final journey!

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2011 at 11:16am: RWG: I don't think you can edit the posts once posted on this main board. You CAN edit up in the discussions, but I have never been able to do it on this main board. Please feel free to repost your comment...without the name! :-)

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2011 at 11:15am: Hoping that you are right, SailorMomCarla!

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2011 at 11:14am: Patty: The reason I think 931 went through last night is because, if 205-208 go through tonight, that is the maximum number of divisions to go through at one time (and ladies posted that all of them were going through tonight). 931 COULD go through tomorrow night, but normally I don't see the 900 divisions go through so close to PIR. Doesn't mean that it couldn't HAPPEN, but usually they go earlier. Just my thoughts....not fact!
