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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 9, 2010 at 6:46pm: KWNavy Mom- since the other person going with you is only 7 he does not need to be on a list and will not have to wait. You will need his birth certificate as proof of identity. He will get in with no problem at all. Please don't worry. Your 14 yr old will also need an ID, you can get this type of ID from the drivers license office.

Comment by Suzi ship012 div036 on November 9, 2010 at 6:37pm: No Letter. Again. :(

Comment by idahojeep on November 9, 2010 at 6:34pm: My husband and I are taking turns writing to our boys. He wrote to both last night so tonight is my turn. I bought notecards and ugh they have blue envelopes. But I also bought regular lined paper and white envelopes so we will use those instead.

Comment by KWNavyMOM (Ship 12 - Div 033) on November 9, 2010 at 6:34pm: I received our Form Letter yesterday and I have a question about PIR. It says they can invite 4 people but we have 5. His dad and I, his 2 brothers (ages 14 & 7) and his girlfriend. On his list he put me, his dad, his girlfriend and our 14 year old... Will my youngest son be able to attend? Not sure how to handle this...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 9, 2010 at 5:31pm: Write to them every day, they live for mail call once they start getting mail. And the mail is held for a couple of weeks so the first letters they write may ask you why you are not writing. Don't worry they will start getting their mail very soon.
