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 Central Ca. mom (09/247) on August 8, 2011 at 6:10pm: PIR was breathtaking! Words cannot express how I felt! I am so grateful and blessed to have gone and that my oldest son was able to go with me!! I am so proud of our sailors and all that they have accomplished. Thank you Denise for taking the time to talk to us. May the Lord have His hand on all of us and our loved ones serving our country.

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on August 8, 2011 at 5:39pm: Nan - my only regret about the whole weekend is that I didn't get to meet you! You have been a help by telling me things that I needed to hear exactly when I needed to hear them!!

Comment by lisarobin on August 8, 2011 at 5:26pm: Thank you diannep and fireteamleaderwife for all your help and support over the last couple of months! We all couldn't have been sane and together without you walking us through it. Congrats to all the moms,wives,sons,daughters,dads, etc that have been a part of this graduation!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 8, 2011 at 2:56pm: I'll be leaving too. But I will peek in to read more after PIR stories!
Good luck and God Bless to all of you!

Comment by Nan(Ship 9 Div 247) on August 8, 2011 at 2:09pm: I wanted to thank each one of you for all of the iinformation and support over the last year. PIR was just as amazing as I expected. I was not only proud of my Sailor, but of each and every one of the Sailors who graduated on Friday. Somehow, they all seemed like they were my children and I cried for each one. That is why it was even harder than usual to hear about the loss over the weekend, I could only imagine the pride and joy their families felt on their graduation. My heart goes out to their families, they will always have my gratitude for their sacrafice and will never be forgotten.

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on August 8, 2011 at 12:18pm: Diannep, thank you so very much for all your support here! I can't tell you how helpful and appreciated you are!!!!

Blessings to the new sailors and their families in their next adventure!
