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 lisarobin on June 23, 2011 at 8:26pm: Good Evening Everyone! By the way, today is Amberrose's birthday so please be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday! It has been a wonderful day! She got 3 letters and I got 2 from our sweet man! He had my 2 in one envelope. It was endearing and funny to hear from him. Needless to say the second letter showed he was getting into a routine and much more calm! Praise the Lord!

Comment by kdahlen on June 23, 2011 at 12:24am: Just reserved our rooms at the ramada...this site has been so helpful. Thank you!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 22, 2011 at 10:58pm: There is not a way to get the password except from your recruit. I would go ahead and ask him what it is in your next letter just in case the form letter doesn't arrive.

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on June 22, 2011 at 9:47pm: FYI I called Residence Inn three days ago and they were all sold out of their Navy rates...for all rooms for the 8/5 weekend.

We chose Ramada Inn.

Comment by lisarobin on June 22, 2011 at 9:45pm: Hey diannep thank you I got it set up with a link to it on our discussion page. Thank you for all your help. :.)

Comment by diannep on June 22, 2011 at 9:43pm: Tracy: Hope you get that form letter soon. You will need the password in it to download your gate pass for PIR. So keep it in a safe place!
