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 ProudMomS of a SAILOR! 10/29/10 on September 21, 2010 at 10:16pm: Kate, believe me I know how hard it is. I took a stats class this summer and cried through it. I'm a baby! My next stats class is in January and am dreading it!

Comment by niauz(Proud Sailor Mom) on September 21, 2010 at 9:44pm: miasmommie- yeah your right should put my order in too!

Comment by Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on September 21, 2010 at 9:43pm: We've finished all of our flight/hotel/car arrangements. Oh and ribbons (that was the finale) ! - WE'RE SO READY!

Comment by Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on September 21, 2010 at 9:36pm: Hi Ladies, just placed my ribbon order from Lala Ribbon Queen. It's probably a good idea to put the orders in now so she has enough time to make them and send them in time for PIR. It'll be here before you know it!!!!!

Comment by niauz(Proud Sailor Mom) on September 21, 2010 at 9:25pm: ProudMomS- i'm also worried about buying ticket's! still saving and hoping to find a deal i can afford.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 21, 2010 at 9:19pm: We heard from my daughter's fiancee today. He got to call to get info for his clearance. She said he sounded good, just misses everybody and can't wait to see her at PIR. He decided not to do EOD but that is okay, My sailor was so happy to hear from her sailor.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 21, 2010 at 9:16pm: Brie- The ribbons are a way of showing your support for sailor and are also a good way for N4M's members to recognize each other. They are made on Navy ribbon with gold or silver letters. Although I am having a little trouble getting gold letters right now. (I hate back orders lol) They have the Sailor's first or last name on the left and division number on the right. They also have an anchor and stars on them. I only charge $5.00 each to help pay for supplies. My way of paying it forward. This site is the only thing that got me through my daughter being away at boot camp. They are not too fru-fru as one dad put it so men and women can wear them. If you want to know more send me a friend request and I will send you the info I need for you to order. I will put a pic below so you can see them. They are all done on satin ribbon now because the letters stick better.

Comment by ProudMomS of a SAILOR! 10/29/10 on September 21, 2010 at 9:11pm: I am worried about buying plane tickets. I wonder what the percentage of recruits get pushed back? Any stats, Kate? hahaha

Comment by ProudMomS of a SAILOR! 10/29/10 on September 21, 2010 at 9:10pm: Kate G: Congratulations on passing your Stats test. Stats is tough! Give yourself a Hoo-rah!

Comment by niauz(Proud Sailor Mom) on September 21, 2010 at 8:53pm: KateG- sorry to hear you having a bad day! you passed your test though so that's a plus! hopefully i will get a letter soon. I can only imagine things are pretty tough on them right now especially since they are cramming everything into 6 weeks! I just pray that all our sailors make it through this tough ordeal.
