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 diannep on August 16, 2012 at 8:21am: BattleStations for this group are beginning "shortly!" Can't mention dates....but I would suggest that all keep phones handy starting tomorrow afternoon through early next week! It is an overnight drill. Remember, they do not do them on Fri/Sat nights....but can go any other nights. I have only received a date for 2 divisions so can't be exact on when they go through. If anyone has a date from their SR, please friend request/private message it to me. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2012 at 9:21pm: Lara: Praying for healing for him! Ouch! Painful!

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2012 at 9:19pm: sheryloverall: Call the Public Affairs Office in the morning. Have your old password/PIR date available. They will ask you for that. Tell them that you need the 08./24 one because your SR was asmoed. I had to do this when my son was there and had no problem.

Here's the number:

847-688-2405

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2012 at 3:22pm: So sorry, Lara. Were these stress fractures? So very common in bootcamp. Hoping for quick healing!

Comment by ram33 on August 14, 2012 at 12:34pm: I cannot wait... I know only 9 days to go.

I start my journey there on Monday...It's all I talk about

The greet and meet will be so much fun.. I can't wait..

Comment by PamperedMom on August 14, 2012 at 10:12am: Good morning everyone! Can you believe it, only 9 more days! What a journey this has been for our SR's and for us. Who has received their "I'm a sailor call?" I know some should be coming this week!! How exciting! Phones by the ready!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 14, 2012 at 6:39am: Lara, if you are on the FB group navy Mom PIR Friends look for Gail on that page. She is facing the same thing with her son who has a broken leg. She is a wonderful person with great info and encouragement. He will get through this and I will keep you both in my prayers.

Good Morning everyone.
