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 MissMe27 on July 31, 2012 at 10:27pm: Thanks diannap. Thats good to know. He also mentioned that a lot of people have been going home so it won't be as many as they planned for anyway.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 31, 2012 at 9:53am: That is so sweet nursecat, I know you all will be so excited to finally see him again <3

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2012 at 9:36am: nursecat: TOO FUNNY! I was wondering how could his things be in your laundry still? So sweet that she misses her big brother so much...they will have a new appreciation for each other after this!

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2012 at 9:34am: MissMe; If you have extra guests (over the 4), please bring them. I know this is a larger PIR group, but they most likely will get in. They may have to wait in the Visitors Center until those on the list are seated, but should get in. We had a group of 14 divisions once and even they all got in. So please bring them!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 31, 2012 at 8:14am: Yay for calls :-) I hope those who didn't get one get one today or at least this week. Always keep your phones handy.

Comment by nursecat(ship 2/ DIV 942) on July 30, 2012 at 8:46pm: Good evening Ladies, I'm happy to see that 275/276 are getting calls tonight! So exciting! Hope everyone is doing good. 31 days & counting!!! This is getting easier. My SR has been gone 27 days & do u believe that I have had something of his in the laundry EVERY week since he left !!!??? I think his little sister is weaaring his shirts to sleep in, LOL. She misses her big brother :)
