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 UFQ202- Ship 12, Div 231 on July 23, 2011 at 10:32pm: I can't believe how fast the day went yesterday. Graduation was just beautiful and alot nicer than mine 32 years ago. I have to laugh at all the new Sailors greeting me with "Hello Petty Officer" I know I stopped and talked to many of them and welcomed them aboard. We took Jonathan to the Silo to have the pizza he had dreamed about. This is the place I went to while going to Corps School with my friends. We had a lady stop by the table who talked to Jonathan and told him congratulations and wished him well in his Navy career. She handed him a gift card to use for his meal. When he looked at it after she walked away he started to cry. She had given him $100.00!!!!! OMG.... needless to say that was like the icing and cherry on the cake. We had a truely wonderful and blessed day. Now he and his friends are in San Antonio and in the barracks waiting for the start of their A school.

Comment by Kathleen10 on July 22, 2011 at 11:37pm: Please clock, slow down for for the next 2 days so I can spend every second possible with my son.

Comment by nursememrie on July 22, 2011 at 9:37pm: PIR was great, even though it was coming a monster thunderstorm outside most of the time. Had a great day with my new Sailor. Met his RDCs, who were very warm and gracious. It was a wonderful day! He flies out very early in the morning so today was all we had. And I saw lots of ribbons like mine at graduation, too!

Comment by diannep on July 22, 2011 at 12:00pm: What did you all think about PIR? Enjoy your time with your sailors! CONGRATS to all!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 22, 2011 at 9:55am: Have a wonderful day today ladies. Enjoy your time with your sailors. :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 22, 2011 at 7:37am: I was like that too Memrie, I wanted to just go up to the gate and tell them to send my daughter out to speak to me. I drove around and past the gate so many times just hoping to see some Sailors marching that I was afraid they were going to send someone out to run me off lol.

Have a great time everyone. It was exactly one year ago that I was right there where you are now :-) Enjoy your time with your Sailors and be safe.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 21, 2011 at 3:35pm: fireteamleaderwife, I know how I felt the first time I went there and was a little lost, so if you want any info, just let me know. :) I bet you are excited about your upcoming visit. :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2011 at 3:29pm: nursememrie-oooooo...you went to Giordano's! I'd need to rest after that too! It was good!
