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 AMOMMSO on August 21, 2012 at 11:05pm: diannep what happened and anything about 942?

Comment by Fancy Nancy on August 21, 2012 at 9:39pm: Aren't you just loving the single digit in the days column on the PIR countdown?

Hang in there...you are almost there!

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2012 at 9:26pm: For those who I gave BattleStations dates to.....818 has been moved back a night and therefore, 271/272 would be moved back a night also. 275/276's date would change too. I tried to message those of you who had contacted me. If you are confused, message me!

Comment by julielind on August 21, 2012 at 7:41pm: Thanks for the info diannep

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 21, 2012 at 6:00pm: I have talked to parents who got that call saying their recruit didn't pass and not to come. Without knowing they canceled their flight and hotel. Two days later they got the call that he passed and had gone through battle stations and would have PIR as scheduled. The new flight cost them a LOT more money. So don't cancel anything if you get that call without talking to one of us veteran moms. We are happy to help you through it. And if you do get that call it is very short. Just tell your recruit you know they get more chances just keep trying and do their best, yuo know they can do it, and you are coming regardless :-) Maybe that will give them the motivation they need to get it done.
