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 whitemountain on June 16, 2011 at 8:25am: Lala: Congratulations! So exciting....go get the dress! :)

Thanks for all the love and support. It was weird...as glad as I was to hear from her...it made it harder. Felt like I did when she left! Ughhh. Maybe because it was it was such a hard call. My dad died the day after she left. Anyway...today is a new day! Question for veteran moms: I saw a post that mentioned sending a manila envelope for them to return their mail as they don't have much room to keep them. I have 9 siblings and there are 42 cousins etc and I am afraid she may be getting so many...which is a good thing but I don't want her to have to throw them away! I thought they could only get regular sized white envelopes? I know the post said to include postage on the envelope...thoughts everyone? Any other ideas for things to send her? I asked her if she knew any of your kids...she didn't think so but said that 237 and 238 bunk together. That made me happy to know some of our kids are together...even if they don't know each other!

Again....thank you all...it's getting me through...(lost my dad, sent my SR off and lost my fiance in one week ..they say it comes in three's!

Comment by diannep on June 16, 2011 at 8:13am: Lala: Hope you are feeling better and find that dress!

straweberry: Is your daughter a "stick?" That is what they call a flag carrier for PIR. If so, like nicole said, she will be right there in the front where you can see her the whole time. That is great! I never saw my son during his entire PIR...had to wait for the PIR DVD to see him. Be sure you all ask your SRs to order that--$29.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 16, 2011 at 7:19am: I won't be on here much today, My wedding is a week from Saturday and I haven't bought a dress yet lol, so I must go shopping today as well as accomplish a million and one other tasks so I can get back on here this evening :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 16, 2011 at 7:16am: Today should be a very good letter day for many of you. Thursday was always my letter letter day here on the lower East Coast :-) I hope it is good for all of you as well.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 16, 2011 at 2:47am: whitemountain

So sorry for your loss...and glad that you got to speak with your SR.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on June 15, 2011 at 10:49pm: Strawberry- flags are at the front:) good view!

Comment by strawberry on June 15, 2011 at 10:07pm: My SR passed her swim test and had 3 wisdom teeth removed the next day. She is in the push division and they will march with flags for graduations.

Comment by NavyMom509 on June 15, 2011 at 10:07pm: I got my first letter today I'm so excited. The first page was written on day 1 p day ,the second letter on great lakes stationary was written on sunday 6/10/11. No mention of having received letters, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't get any. My SR sounds like he is doing fine. Hope you all get letters soon.

Comment by diannep on June 15, 2011 at 8:34pm: whitemountain: So so sorry for your loss. Glad you got to talk to her, but so sorry it was under these circumstances.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 15, 2011 at 7:49pm: whitemountain, I am so sorry for your families loss. I am glad you got to talk to your daughter. I am sure that meant a lot to both of you :-)
