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 Elaine-PIR 10/1/10 on August 30, 2010 at 10:02am: Okay, all. Off to work I go. I work for a used car dealer, part-time, and he is shutting down the business. We will be packing boxes this week. I have worked for him for 5 1/2 years. Will check back in this p.m. Look over on PIR 9/2/10. Some of their divisions finished BS21 this a.m. and they should start getting their calls in the next 5-6 hours or so. It is what we will be doing in a few short weeks.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on August 30, 2010 at 9:54am: I got out the calendar and counted backwards, making PIR week 8. That makes this week 4. If that's the case I missed a week somewhere. It is what it is.

Comment by Elaine-PIR 10/1/10 on August 30, 2010 at 7:50am: Mornin' all, saw somewhere that this would be Hell week. Since I didn't get a call (damn it!!!) I could be wrong. I live near JRB in Fort Worth and the NEX here is great. And they have lay-away, too. Some confusion here, NEX is like a department store, commissary is where you buy groceries. Hope this clears some things up. I have been unable to access the bootcamp.navy.mil site since we started all this. H-E-L-P!!!! I think I may get someone from the local computer store to help me. Will put on my sad puppy dog face, explain the situation and maybe they will have mercy on me. Need to get ready for work, will be back later.

Comment by diannep on August 30, 2010 at 7:40am: MtnMom: You are so right! "Hell" week comes right about the time that there is a turnaround for them. They start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and you will see more positive in their letters and calls. It is about the halfway mark for them!

Comment by sondra on August 30, 2010 at 7:04am: Good Morning everyone! Looks like our SR's are going to have another busy week. Not sure about them but the last three weeks have been hell for me. lol Praying they all do well and reach that last day where they get to go to the NEX for shampoo!!! Have a great day!!!!!

Comment by Bella on August 30, 2010 at 1:13am: Hell week is when they really start to "get it" and come together as a division. It is a real break in time for them too. I am excited to hear the letters that come after Hell Week. There should be a definite change in attitudes of all the SR's. Yay!
