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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 8, 2011 at 7:25pm: Okay this is a long shot but.... If anyone lives in the Charlotte to Asheville NC or even upstate SC or eastern TN and needs to buy airline tickets to Ohare you may be interested in this. Asheville Airport is offering tickets to Ohare for $90.00 you must fly on Tuesday, Wednesday/ or Sat to get this price and buy your tickets in June, not sure of the exact deadline but this a great deal. Fly up on Wednesday before PIR and come back on Sat for $90 you can't beat that. Especially if your Sailor leaves on Saturday anyway. It was just on the local news here where I live (near Asheville NC) If this would work for anyone let em know and I will help you find the info you need.

Just read an article about 6 Sailors on the USS Patriot who are facing adminstratie discharge for Hazing. Seems that they tacked on some Petty Officer Crows, who were just promoted. I am wondering if Access Hollywood had anything to do with the Skipper finding out about this. lol

Comment by lucyloves...herSailor! on June 8, 2011 at 6:04pm: Diannep: I'm kinda getting cold feet about meet and greet....lol....Katie'smom is scaring me....and put our clothes in a box? lol on the other hand....if she is a out to be discovered then maybe I will go on and go...maybe I'll get a piece of the pie when she hits it big! LOL. Much fun anticipated!!

Comment by diannep on June 8, 2011 at 5:51pm: ..."invite" not "invitie." Sounds like I'm talking to 2 yr olds with that word!

Comment by diannep on June 8, 2011 at 5:50pm: JessicaB: I would imagine that those staying at the Ramada are told about the MeetNGreet when they arrive (or maybe before). Otherwise, my guess is that unless they have heard by word of mouth, those who are not on this website may not know about the Ramada's MeetnGreet.

Moliana: Be sure to get some of those nifty cold inserts for your bra that Connie mentioned to keep you cool for PIR....sounds interesting... :-)

Connie: Rats....guess I won't get to see the burlesque comedy routine then...HA!

Capricorna: And be sure the invitie "Access Hollywood" to your MeetNGreet...

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on June 8, 2011 at 4:28pm: Wow Congrats, 2sailorsonsmom! Are you staying the month of July in Waukegan?

Comment by 2sailorsonsmom on June 8, 2011 at 4:09pm: I got my 2nd sons form letter today. His PIR is 7/29. Lol...He forgot to add me to the Guest list.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on June 8, 2011 at 2:51pm: I think I'll just bring some sticky putty stuff or tape haha. But I'm going to make an awesome sign!!
