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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Chris's Mom ship12div220 on July 13, 2012 at 11:33pm: PIR was wonderful. Was great getting to spend a few hours with my New Sailor. Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement and wisdom. With out Yall I could not have made it through these last 8 weeks a sane woman.

Comment by Sharon-Erin's Mom on July 13, 2012 at 10:22pm: PIR was incredible. Found out that Erin didn't get her I'm a Sailor call because she got called away for security clearance interview. We had an amazing day.

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on July 13, 2012 at 9:42pm: Dianaep: i have them at 6-4 today. 6-5 tomorrow...but 223/224 have confirmed for next next tuesday.

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2012 at 9:15pm: So, how was it, ladies????? Please share your experiences! And...did we N4Moms veterans get our info right? If anything has changed, please let us know.

For those going to the airports tomorrow to wait with sailors, get a short nap after dropping off your sailors tonight and head out ito the airport n the wee hours of the morning to spend more time with them. They will be bussed out there to wait for flights very early in the morning (usually 1 or 2 a.m).

Most importantly....enjoy!

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2012 at 8:36pm: MomofDREW: Could be that they didn't go through last night? Someone reported that date to me, but maybe they won't go until next week?

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on July 13, 2012 at 7:55pm: Can any of you 7/13 PIR's shed any light on why we 7/20 div 221/222 havent gotten a single call today? They were did BS last night. Just asking since you are right there. How is it? Pretty cool?

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2012 at 7:52am: Sharon: I sure hope you "spot" your daughter during PIR. But it sounds like all is ok from what the PAO told you! Celebrate!

I hope some of you are on your way to RTC right now! Good to get there early!

Enjoy this very special day!

FTLW: What in the world are you doing up so EARLY out there in CA???? :-)

NancyS: God bless Sarge for having you all say the Pledge of Allegiance last night. How wonderful is THAT?? YAH!
