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 happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 29, 2012 at 9:33pm: Proudmom and Barb~ my SR will celebrate her 18th birthday in bootcamp.

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 29, 2012 at 9:01pm: Barb-- I know what you mean. From what I can tell my boys div (285) will be on 3-1 day tomorrow but I'm waiting for another letter for confirmation.

Comment by Barb(Ship9Div288) on July 29, 2012 at 8:51pm: Proudmom- My son will be celebrating his 20th birthday at BC, so I understand as well. This will be the first one we haven't spent together. I wish I could see him or at least send a package, but I guess I will just be content sending a card. A silent, non glitter, non confetti card- unless he doesn't write soon and then all bets are off. ;)

I still miss him every moment, but it is getting easier. Making the reservations helped a lot. It makes PIR seem closer. I hope everyone is getting closer to the excited phase. Only 5 weeks and 5 days until we see our Sailors.

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 29, 2012 at 5:10pm: Woops!! I must have read that wrong. :) well, if anyone else has a child who will celebrate their birthday in BC I can understand.

Comment by diannep on July 29, 2012 at 2:41pm: Proudmom: Lala's son plans to go into the Navy soon but is living at home working right now. So that celebration is happening with Lala present!

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 29, 2012 at 10:40am: Lala- my youngest will also spend his 19th birthday in BC. Boy do I have a lot of empathy for you. His is still to come and very close to his PIR so maybe he will be in good spirits. But I love your attitude and if we were closer, I would be bringing a dish to the party!! Enjoy your family :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 29, 2012 at 9:02am: Good Morning everyone, Today is my baby boy's 19th birthday. It is also our Family Reunion today as well. Just what every 19 yr old wants for his birthday right? lol. My oldest son is home for the weekend as well. Just wish our Sailor could be here too. We will be spending the day with lots of family in the Pisgah National Forest so I will be away most of the day. I will be back later this evening. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Go out and do something fun :-) YOu can always crash our party lol.

Comment by diannep on July 29, 2012 at 8:03am: sharbear: Hoping that today will bring you happier thoughts/memories of good times in the past and to come, and lots of excitement looking forward to PIR. You will be on Cloud 9 then! So hang in there!
