OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 June 14, 2012 at 12:53pm: Wow Betsy, that sounds like so much fun. I wish I was there to go with you :-)

I have received an email saying several people including you Betsy want to join the PIR group on FB but for some reason they are not showing up on the group for me to add you. i even tried logging out and going back but no luck. Maybe it has to wait for FB to update to show up. I will add you guys as soon as it will let me. So so sorry for the delay.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 14, 2012 at 10:56am: Good Morning ladies! It's an absolutely beautiful Flag Day here in Maryland. I've been sitting here watching the weather channel and thought of you all. Al Roker is broadcasting in my hometown of Baltimore for our "Sailabration" celebration. We are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812. Yesterday over 40 tall ships from all over the world and numerous US Navy ships arrived at our harbor for the next few days to take part in the celebration. The Blue Angels will arrive today and I can't wait because I have tickets to go see their show on Sunday at Ft. McHenry. The flag flying over the burning fort at Ft. McHenry, during the war of 1812, was Francis Scott Key's inspiration to write the National Anthem. It's a wonderful week here and I can't wait to be a part of it.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 14, 2012 at 10:34am: Thanks Wendy :-) I added you. If anyone sends a request and then doesn't get added within a few hours please let me know. You can email me at uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I am getting requests from people to be added to the group and then when I go to the group to add them some of the requests aren't there. Not sure why that is happening but I am trying to figure it out. If anyone has had this experience and knows how to fix it please let me know.

Comment by OhWendyPIR7/27(Ship 13 Div 229) on June 14, 2012 at 9:31am: Thanks Lala, I just sent my request in to be added.
