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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 22, 2012 at 10:21am: FTLW, I hope your husband had a great day yesterday.

Good Morning Everyone!

Comment by diannep on July 22, 2012 at 8:03am: Helen: He can update this list shortly before PIR, so don't worry. Just talk to him about it before then. Even if not on the list, extras can usually get in with proper ID. But if on the list of 4, they won't have to wait for others to be seated...they can be seated right away.

Good Morning all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 22, 2012 at 2:27am: Thanks LaLa!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2012 at 8:18pm: Cook-ie...I added the EMOTICON Discussion up above!

Comment by AMOMMSO on July 21, 2012 at 7:16pm: No phone call yet we are at the end of third week still waiting for a call he did say he would call in three Weeks and no letters I have mailed in a bunch I hope he is getting them. When he did his invite list he left off his dads wife . I dont know if he forgot or thouht I would be upset,but actually I dont care but I think he was being sensitive to my feelings.I hope to get my phone call soon.it has been a rough week for us,his brother and I have had to make changes to our household and may have to move to a smaller place soon.

Comment by Jimi'sMom S12/D271 on July 21, 2012 at 6:43pm: ok my SR had mentioned in his letter that he had met some really cool guys... There is one he said they have become friends... He gave that he is from Oklahoma and a last name...I think it would be neat to meet his family if they are on here. If you have a SR from Oklahoma in ship 12 div 271 inbox me.

Comment by GraceRae<3 on July 21, 2012 at 6:20pm: Ughh still no letter. I finally got the paper I need for my military ID but I diont have any confirmation of his address. Hubby knew I can't go to I'd so maybe that's why i didnt get the paper for PIR but still I wish Knew for sure my letters are going to the right place. and I didn't get any kind of personal note thus far.. Not in the box or in this envelope or an actual letter!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 21, 2012 at 4:04pm: that is So so sad. When you have a child sign up to serve our county the biggest fear is that they will be killed in some foreign land; not in an American Movie Theater. Such a waste of precious life. Please continue to hold them in your thoughts and prayers.

Happy birthday to your hubby FTLW (insert really awesome smiley blowing out lots of candles here) lol

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2012 at 1:20pm: Oh no, oh no,...and I know that Craig will know him...he worked at the same place that all the military personnel do. :-(

So senseless...my heart is heavy today.

But we are celebrating hubby's B-Day today (I haven't mentioned anything to him - though he may know already and is not saying anything to me!)...so I will "lift myself up"!

Comment by diannep on July 21, 2012 at 10:56am: Good morning all. Have a wonderful weekend...prayers continue for our friends in Colorado. Prayers for the family of this guy too...many times, family members are innocent victims as well....I just can't imagine what all of those people are dealing with out there...but I know prayers are being sent in multitudes to them....

Good morning all!
