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 CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on August 4, 2011 at 10:23pm: I have to tell you all...so far the highlight of this trip to PIR was seeing Ryver go up to the microphone at the meet and greet and saying "I'm so proud of my dad!" I literally started crying. He was so cute!

It was nice hearing from all the division families, but especially division 11/243's sailor Greer and Hemme!

Comment by hrmqueenmel (Ship 07/Div 246) on August 4, 2011 at 6:02pm: Rover, I just read your post and am so sorry for your disappointment. I'll be praying that your son makes a speedy recovery and can go through battle stations soon, that he does well, and that you get to catch that flight to Chicago to see your boy! Hang in there...

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on August 4, 2011 at 3:49pm: After a long and very unsure trip I am here!!! Can't wait to see you all tonight!

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 4, 2011 at 2:44pm: It is a very hard thing for those of you that won't be going to PIR. My daughter was scheduled to go through PIR last Friday, and instead ended up in FIT where she still is. I have faith that she will make it through, and those of you whose SRs are not going to be there tomorrow remember that you are not alone.

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on August 4, 2011 at 2:30pm: MomK, glad you made it! :D We are about an hour away from Waukegan. This final 50 miles almost seems to be taking longer than the previous 2,000! Sooooo close. YAY!!

Comment by momKdiv938-daughterK on August 4, 2011 at 2:16pm: Arrived last night, am in Waukegan, Loooong trip by Amtrak.

Comment by diannep on August 4, 2011 at 1:29pm: acesmom: I left a comment on your page. Please join FIT PROGRAM (link on your comment page)! They will give you alot of support during this time.

Hang in there...he'll get through this!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on August 4, 2011 at 12:19pm: ROVER, ACESMOM, AND CREATIVE: please know that you have my prayers for speedy recoveries and good run times. Please keep us posted as your SR's heal and improve run times and post when they become Sailor's. God be with you and your SR's.

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on August 4, 2011 at 11:08am: Acesmom, Rover and Creative, please know that I will be thinking of you and your SRs and truly wishing each of you all the best.
