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 diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:43pm: Will do, Lala. Mine (up near yours!) has already been appointed duties since he is in barracks right there near the office (which is a floating barge...uh oh)...and has hurricane experience being from S. FL! Let's hope that it stays far enough off the coast that they just get tropical storm force winds....and suffer no damage. We are counting our blessings here in FL....we have been on edge about this for about a week now, but are in the clear...thank you, Lord!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 24, 2011 at 8:40pm: My Sailors are preparing for their first real hurricane experience. Please keep all our Sailors and everyone else along the East Coast in your prayers as Hurricane Irene hits this weekend. Thanks
I am not sure if all the Post Office's have these but ours just added Cards that they sell for American Hero's and some of them are really awesome. You should all check them out. One of them brought tears to my eyes and made me feel so proud :-)

Comment by kmanmom on August 24, 2011 at 8:39pm: Congrats to all of 281/282. So happy for all of you and your Sailors. HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:36pm: Captains Cup for all divisions this Saturday! Here is the link to explain it:

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:35pm: Glad that 281/282 went when they said they would and we have our first group of sailors in this PIR group! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:33pm: sleepgirl/Momnbama: I went to Auburn and married an Auburn vet student from outside of Montgomery! So I have a bit of an AL connection!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:32pm: Got it, giasams. We have a discrepancy now. Too many divisions on that date...Sorry to be redundant....but would all in 818/819 once again confirm dates by messaging me (and only if you got them directly from your SR)...we are getting 2 different ones.

Very strange that none are scheduled for tonight? Hmmm....that could be the problem. I hesitate to send out the dates because just don't know if they are correct.

I will say this: All in divisions 283-286 be ready for calls anytime this week.

I'm thinking if by some chance, some calls come in tomorrow, maybe we can pin down the schedule more.

Sorry about this, ladies. But I have to say....having 2 divisions go last night was a FIRST on here. Although I have seen them start on Wed a week before PIR, never on a Tues. So things are changing! I know you all are a Thurs PIR so that changes the schedule a bit.

Comment by giasams on August 24, 2011 at 8:27pm: I just sent diannep a personal email about battlestations for 287 because my daughter just called and told me. i don't know how to send a group email, so hopefully she will send one.

Comment by sleepgirl on August 24, 2011 at 7:53pm: Hey Momnbama, we are from there too!! Birmingham!! We should chat!

Comment by sleepgirl on August 24, 2011 at 7:49pm: Has anyone heard if Ship 11 Div 284 had BS today? I first heard it was today, then I heard it changed?
