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 PamperedMom on July 31, 2012 at 8:37am: Last night after work I found myself in the recruiters parking lot!! My husband called me and asked me where I was. When I told him he could understand why I would be there. It was the last place I saw my SR!!!

Comment by PamperedMom on July 31, 2012 at 8:34am: Sputnik I sent you a friend request as well!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 31, 2012 at 8:11am: Oh, one more thing sputnik, before you accept the friend request write down the number because the message attached to a friend request disappears once you accept it. If you loose just send me a message back and I will send it again :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 30, 2012 at 11:19pm: I am also a NC Navy Mom :-) I am in the mountain/western part of the state about 30 min south of Asheville. Are you close to me NCNavyMom? sputnik114, we will be in Wilmington the weekend before your PIR. We are bringing one of our daughter's there to go to school and we have to move her into her dorm room and go to orientation. We are meeting another navy Mom (and her hubby) for dinner one night while we are there. Maybe you could meet us as well :-)

Comment by mom-11-263 on July 30, 2012 at 10:05pm: Race's mom. I love your encouragement. Sometimes our children don't really know what they need to hear. That is a great mantra!

Comment by kaseysmom on July 30, 2012 at 9:57pm: We are from Wilmington, NC don't know much about the hotels but we are booked at the Courtyard Marriott and hope to go to Sarges meet and greet. NCNavyMom my daughter is 09 266 also.

Comment by FlowerGrower05 on July 30, 2012 at 9:00pm: The Courtyard Marriott did just go through a renovation on their lobby and courtyard and added a new restaurant according to their site. They have a reasonable rate through Triple AAA that can include breakfast so that saves a little money.
