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."

Hi, Can you send these to me? I'm a little confused though, is this 323 and 324? My son is 323 but those pics are hard to see anything - but anything is better than nothing!!! Thanks so much. Not sure how to get you my email address without posting it for all:)

Thank you so much for posting these! I think I may see my SR - could just be wishful thinking. :-) So great to see the division and their flags etc. Can't wait for Friday! Thanks again! Hope you had a great time with your Sailor last Friday!

I took some pics, too. They were from across the street and with my camera phone so you can't see their faces very well. But you can see they look great as a group! 323 is up front and 324 is behind them. I was told that you weren't allowed to take pics outside of the PIR hall, so was worried about pulling out my camera phone. But I saw so many people taking pics.

I just went to my son's PIR on Friday so feeling your anticipation here for PIR 10/5 is exciting!
