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 July 3, 2011 at 8:06am: My daughter got married during A-school in Pensacola. She wasn't even in phase 3 yet so she had to be back on base at night and didn't even get to spend the night with her husband until they had been married for almost 2 months. He left for bootcamp 4 days after they got married.

Bringing along a buddy who doesn't have anyone coming to PIR is a great idea. We did that as well. I was amazed at how many sailors didn't have family there to help them celebrate :-(

Comment by Elizabeth on July 3, 2011 at 2:23am: my SR sent me checks, but i don't think i can use them cause doesn't he have sign them, and my fiance said he dropped 2 min of his run. and he said tht they cant get married on graduation so it will be during his A- school and tht he probably wont be able to change job so he has AECF job in GL. and he wants to get married ASAP and for me to be with him up at his school and he will pay for it

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 2, 2011 at 11:29pm: I have already told my son that if he has any buddies who won't have family with them he is to invite them to come with us. The more the merrier! I would love to get to know his buddies.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 2, 2011 at 10:13pm: They do not have to have a liberty buddy and you don't sign them out unless that has changed. The sailors who don't have any family there will go on liberty with a buddy from their DIV who also has no family to spend liberty with. I have never heard of any of the new sailors being picked on by anyone. I have heard of several who have had meals paid for by perfect strangers which was very cool and also people walk up to them and thank them for their service. Sadly there are some people who hate the military and will say ugly things but that doesn't happen a lot and hardly ever in the Great Lakes/Chicago area.

Comment by TinaZmom 02/936 on July 2, 2011 at 8:45pm: On PIR weekend do our Sailors have to leave with a liberty buddy when we pick them up? Do we have to sign them out? I heard that our Sailors in uniform will be a target to be picked on in public by other Navy people, is this true? Not really a big deal, but I'm sure that is the last thing our Sailors want to deal with.

Comment by diannep on July 2, 2011 at 7:24pm: Thanks, terrysproudmom and sherblonde. Div 231/232 are on the BattleStations schedule in the discussion group!

tdbaugh: As you can see below, 231 will be going with 232 (BattleStations) Thurs 7/14-Fri, 7/15.

Comment by tdbaugh on July 2, 2011 at 7:05pm: I asked my son when they were doing Battlestations and he said they wouldn't tell them. He said just about everyone there had been sick. He has been lucky so far and been well. I"m ready to see him!!!!

Comment by UFQ202- Ship 12, Div 231 on July 2, 2011 at 6:49pm: Looks like 231 will be doing battlestation with 232 on the 14th. So happy to hear my SR voice!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 2, 2011 at 5:40pm: DIANNEP: note BattleStations info from Sherblond: Div 232 is 7/14 please post. Thanks :-)

Comment by tdbaugh on July 2, 2011 at 5:29pm: Got a call from my SR. He is doing good. He was a little upset that his fiancee didn't answer the phone after 3 calls. He is counting the days also. Hope everyone gets a call this weekend.
