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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 14, 2011 at 4:21am: Leaving this group now too. Congratulations to all of your new Sailors and their future careers.

Hooyah ladies!

Comment by wellen(ship04/DIV818 PIR 9/1) on September 13, 2011 at 1:46pm: Anybody want to join me at the "Headed for SWCC" group? See you there! Big day today for PIR 9/1

Comment by Kimberly P on September 10, 2011 at 1:30am: Linda, the sweater comment made me laugh. I went to PIR with my dad, my brother and my husband who all thought I was crazy for bringing a jacket. But my dad had to go get him some coffee to warm up while my brother and husband eyed me all warm in my jacket. This site rules! And PIR was awesome.

Comment by Linda (ship04/Div. 818) on September 9, 2011 at 6:38pm: Had a wonderful time with our Sailor, and the information I learned from other mom's was right on target. Early shuttle, sweater, and tissue, the PIR was wonderful. So proud of my son and all those who stood with him. Blessings and congratulations to all the 9/1 grads.
