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 bobbie (ht mom) on June 27, 2011 at 11:57am: i know thx and congrats on the wedding it looked beautiful .... said he just got to hot i feel so sry for them

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 27, 2011 at 11:48am: oh bobbie that is so sad, you would think they would give him time to recover. They may have found some underlying cause. I will keep all the sailors and future sailors/recruits in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 27, 2011 at 11:35am: Good morning everyone, I am back :-) We had a beautiful wedding and enjoyed our weekend with our family. Most of our family members have gone back home now but our Sailor doesn't have to go back until Wednesday. Right now she is sleeping and she is planning on going to bust your butt falls with a bunch of her friends today. I guess I have to share her lol. There are way too many pages on all the PIR groups to even try and catch up so if I missed anything important let me know :-)

Comment by amberrose on June 27, 2011 at 11:16am: I have been having some issues getting the countdown clock set up, and it FINALLY decided to work this morning. :-)

Comment by Lisa Brown/Cory's MOM on June 27, 2011 at 9:40am: Are there any moms going to PIR alone that would be intrested in a possible roommate?

Comment by denise5459 (ship 09 div 247) on June 27, 2011 at 9:34am: amberrose, Good Morning. Thanks for the wealth of information that you guys are providing. It has been so helpful. I tried to see the countdown clock but it didnt show. Maybe I am just computer illiterate but only saw some for concerts. I did find the box that said there was one. : (
