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 fredabee on October 27, 2010 at 11:49pm: Can't wait! Hugs all around to all the other moms getting ready for the big day. JessicaB, thanks for all the tips!

Comment by musicmom of a Sailor on October 27, 2010 at 11:38pm: Safe trips everyone! See you at PIR!

Comment by Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on October 27, 2010 at 11:21pm: Cheryl - neither of those links works for me... the first one says site not found and the other one goes to some weird site.... I get my stuff all over- Michaels, Joann, Roberts (when in Utah), Hobby Lobby (are they ever coming to CA) and other places...

Comment by Cheryl Mom Nuke ET on October 27, 2010 at 10:38pm: To fellow scrapbookers, here's the 2 sites that carry a lot of Navy products: www.creatingmilitarymemories.com/navy/paper.html and www.memoriesinuniform.com.

Comment by Carol in fla on October 27, 2010 at 8:52pm: Thanks for all the reminders--there is so much to remember on the big day. See you all Thursday evening. Bring your tissues for Friday morning!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 27, 2010 at 8:30pm: Those dresses are really cute. I have seen people selling them on ebay. But those are very cute.

Comment by Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on October 27, 2010 at 8:25pm: Charity - those are adorable! Great job! Good way to keep busy while we wait for PIR.... I baked ginger snaps and put those into my luggage with Halloween Candy that the (what? halloween bunny??) brings to my kids -- the fact that they range from 29 to 43 is not with standing.

Comment by Sassafras Proud Mom of a Sailor on October 27, 2010 at 8:24pm: For PIR, remember that each person (adult) must have a photo ID... and, if you are driving your own car, you must have proof of insurance and registration for your vehicle. If you are driving a rental vehicle, the rental agreement is what you need...

Comment by CharitySailor'sWife2B on October 27, 2010 at 7:48pm: Bekah and I in the pillowcase dresses. The one she is wearing is the gift for a friend. Rebekah is 12 and the dress is for a 4 year old... so its a little small in the arm holes but its perfect because you can grow with it. These dresses are great because they are so adaptable for different sizes.
