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 JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 17, 2011 at 12:05pm: What area code will they be calling from? I have to know when its appropriate to run out of class to answer my phone. I just got a 331 area code call, but I went to hear the voicemail and it was cut off but I don't think it was him. Help!

Comment by esther22ship02div932PIR7-1 on May 17, 2011 at 11:45am: Yes!! I have paper chain for our five year old! (but it's really for me too :)

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 17, 2011 at 11:36am: I vote yes on the countdown, I keep one on my phone. 44 days!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 17, 2011 at 11:27am: Auntie, I'm so jealous! I hope I get a call soon.

Comment by ConnieC on May 17, 2011 at 11:16am: Auntie, my daughter is in that Division. She has been gone since the 4th but haven't received a phone call, except the "I'm here" call. Now I am going into deep depression, where is the darn chocolate? Lol. Just kidding. Awesome for you!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 17, 2011 at 8:37am: When you reserve a room at the Navy Lodge ask if they have any of the kitchenettes available. There is no additional charge for those rooms.

Also when driving to the base the morning of PIR be aware that the far right lane ends so don't get in that line. Stay to the left of it and it will cut lots of wait time for you. It is really good to check out the streets the evening before when you arrive in GL. If you are like me you will drive around the base several times hoping for a glimpse of the Sailor's :-)

Comment by diannep on May 17, 2011 at 8:23am: 2sailorsonsmom: They have a kitchenette in the GL Navy Lodge from what the info says. I believe that Lala stayed there also, and I think she mentioned the kitchenette.

There is no shuttle from Navy Lodge, but it is very close to the base so the drive is easy.

Comment by diannep on May 17, 2011 at 8:19am: Hi, Jessica! Miss you on here...glad to see you back!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 16, 2011 at 10:56pm: Ah that makes sense. I'm sticking with my one little room, nice and affordable for one person. Thankfully though, my mom paid for it as part of my high school graduation present. Yay! I hope Wednesday hurries up, I'm dying for a letter!
