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 Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 10, 2010 at 9:03am: Sugar - most likely in this PIR Id say.... You are welcome welcome welcome.... just paying it forward since I have been on this ride and am now on a whole new one!!!!!!! Nurse's daughter will pull it together.

Comment by Sugarscoop (ship 12 Div 038) on November 10, 2010 at 7:17am: I hate jerky roller coasters! I don't have PIR date yet... My son left last Thurs. the 4th and I guess I'm waiting for the "box" to arrive. I worried about NurseTT all night and really felt for her. Thanks for being here. thank you thank you thank you....

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 10, 2010 at 6:34am: ALL --- PLEASE REMEMBER TO "CLICK ON VIEW ALL" UP IN THE DISCUSSION FORUM AND READ THE GREAT INFO THAT IS IN THE DIFFERENT TOPICS' I will add more as we go! ALSO remember to check your kids' shoes for cell phones AND lose battery. The form letter should probably start coming in starting today and through next week.
Im heading out to work - it 4:00 am Texas time. I check in when I get to work! {{HUGS}} and hang on for the roller coaster farris wheel ride you are about to embark upon..... actually you already are seated and its about to start!!!!!!!!! .

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 10, 2010 at 6:25am: heather1 - Hi honey!!! So it was the kid in the box at the door knocking! hahahah and answer to PIR question - probably so. The only real way to know is that form letter but judging by experience... there were boys who got there a day ahead and a day behind B but were all still in the same PIR .

Comment by Jan (Ship 04 Div 802) on November 9, 2010 at 11:16pm: I spoke to J's mom, on my way home from work. She is learning how to use a computer, so she can join this site. I'll try to meet her for lunch on the weekend, and see if I can help her out. At least I can give her some info from N4M. J's leave date was moved up and he left 1 day before R. Since the boys left a day apart, will they still have the same PIR date?

Comment by Jan (Ship 04 Div 802) on November 9, 2010 at 11:08pm: Hello, Everyone. Isn't Lydia SUPER?!?!? I got my kid in the box, when I got home from work tonight. Found his cell phone, in the shoe, with the battery out. Can't wait till I get the letter.

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 9, 2010 at 10:19pm: diannep - my son said he wanted to meet me but he actually was not at the PIR - he was called away on a family matter.... I was sooo disappointed hahahah!!!! so was my son which was sooo funny!!! It was actually the Master Chief.... oh well... hahahaha

Lynne - I did see that on your PIR sight.... I think that is a great idea.... Ill get that going here!

Comment by Lynne on November 9, 2010 at 9:15pm: OMG Lydia I would have thrown up my shoes for sure...lol You are doing a great job...we had a very close PIR group and what worked great for us was I started a discussion group for every division so that each division kind of had a home but the chat room was central but individual divisions could connect and keep up to date on what was happening in their divisions...just a suggestiont to consider!!

Comment by diannep on November 9, 2010 at 9:06pm: Ok, Lydia...I cracked up that you were" friends" not only with an RDC...but your SON'S RDC! Only you could pull that off in such a great way! HA! Did you meet him at PIR?

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 9, 2010 at 9:04pm: Good night moms of the amazing PIR 01-07s ... sleep sweet and say your prayers ! Ill see yall in the morning!
