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 Tammy-Andrew's Mom on September 27, 2010 at 11:10am: Diana, you are so welcome, besides isn't one of the definitions of a mom: needs to worry about everything because no one else will!! LOL!!

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 27, 2010 at 10:29am: Thanks Tammy! I figured I was stressing over nothing. My husband swears if I don't have anything to worry about I'll make something up! Lol

Comment by Tammy-Andrew's Mom on September 27, 2010 at 10:21am: Diana, we just received our form letter Saturday, and my son wrote that the date is 11/12/2010....as long as they pass everything. Our kids are in the same groups so you are planning the right date! I'm sure you will get your letter anytime now!

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 27, 2010 at 7:42am: I do remember JessiaB telling me it's probably because his division hadn't filled up and they won't send that until it does. I figure I'll give it to Friday, since that is when I got Charlie's letter last week. If nothing by then, I'll see where I can go next for information.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on September 27, 2010 at 7:38am: We are pretty sure that we will be staying at the Ramada Inn for PIR. They do the welcome reception and they have free shuttel service to PIR. I am still looking into things, but fairly sure I will be booking it today from Thursday through Sunday. Even if Diego is a Grad & Go, we will stay until Sunday.We will be driving from Michigan.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on September 27, 2010 at 7:36am: Diana, that seems strange that you wouldn't have gotten the "offical form letter." Our son got there last Tuesday evening and we received the "box" on Friday and the "form letter" on Saturday. We live in Michigan, so it still took two days to get to us. I would look into that somehow.

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 27, 2010 at 7:24am: Is it normal that I still haven't received the official "form letter" yet? It will be two weeks tomorrow that my son left.... I'm just starting to get a little nervous that I'm making plans for the wrong weekend.

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 27, 2010 at 5:06am: When I went to bed last night I was sure I was going to rely on Taxis and stuff. Not today! Car it will be!!!

I lived in the mid-west for a few years and grew up in the mid-atlantic so I'm not looking forward to the cold, but my husband will be there to deal with the snow if there is any....PLEASE.....NO SNOW!!!!

Comment by 31m1tg74tr1zy on September 26, 2010 at 10:27pm: Don't some of the hotels offer shuttle service to the airport and to the PIR?

Comment by Mom from St Pete on September 26, 2010 at 9:14pm: Please no snow, rain or cold weather would be O.K. I use to live in Ohio but that was years ago.... Now we are from Florida. The weather report is nice thanks Barbara. I have checked on line off and on all day for hotel and plane tickets. Not sure if I want to rent a car or not. I would rather not. And just use transit? Yes or no???
