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 Elizabeth on June 20, 2011 at 11:50pm: when will it be week 4 lol

Comment by nursememrie on June 20, 2011 at 10:57pm: Is Sliding Rock anywhere near Ashville? I think I have seen it. My cousin lives there, and I remember her mentioning it on a hike we took.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 20, 2011 at 10:27pm: ilmstravis- That is so cool that you were at Sliding Rock. I live near-by. In fact my wedding will be in the Pisgah National Forest only a few miles from Sliding Rock this coming Saturday. If you ever come to the Brevard area again let me know. Maybe we can meet for lunch or something :-) Did you down the rock? It is way to cold for me lol.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 20, 2011 at 9:51pm: My SR told me that this is week 3. I thought it was four too. They don't count that first week and a half. It is called P week (Processing week). So although they've been gone almost a month. It is week 3 of training.

Comment by Elizabeth on June 20, 2011 at 9:16pm: they are in week 4 aren't they

Comment by diannep on June 20, 2011 at 8:45pm: lizzy: Starting about week 4. That seems to be the turnaround week. It is a very busy week for them ("hell" week) but they get alot accomplished.

Comment by Elizabeth on June 20, 2011 at 6:59pm: diannep- when do they start building them back up? i have been sending him a letter everyday :)

Comment by ilmstravis on June 20, 2011 at 6:44pm: I LOVE SLIDING ROCK WE WERE THERE SUNDAY!!

Comment by diannep on June 20, 2011 at 5:11pm: Lala: Not sure I would go down it now at my "advanced" age! That cold water just may "kick up" my arthritis! :-)

Caitlyn: Sounds like you are doing everything right...so pray hard for him! He isn't alone in his feelings....when my son was there, he even said there was a "line" of SRs waiting to talk to the Chief to see if they could GET OUT! It is not supposed to be a fun experience for them...especially in the beginning....so hang in there! You will be so proud and there will be smiles galore when you see him at PIR in his uniform! HOOYAH!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 20, 2011 at 4:18pm: Diannep, it is open for a visit and that water is just how you remember it. I bet it would be quite refreshing coming from FL lol. So time to make another NC trip :-)
