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 Kgswifeforever on November 9, 2010 at 5:46pm: yeah sounds good just so we can keep in touch as people will go their different ways.

Comment by Tobianne on November 9, 2010 at 5:44pm: I think some have put alumni in the PIR name.

Comment by Kgswifeforever on November 9, 2010 at 5:36pm: I was thinking we could just change the name of this group to Sailors who PIR'ed on 11/12/10 .... So we could all stay in touch!

Comment by CA mom 101 on November 9, 2010 at 5:22pm: Good luck to the last battlestations group!! Wow, the relief after that phone call is really awesome. Now just gotta go home and pack, and make it to the airport on time on Thursday (L.A. traffic on a workday is unbelievably brutal!)

Thanks to everyone for all the good information and personal stories. It has been really nice learning about the other families in our PIR. Maybe will see some of you on the Nuke Moms page?? My son is grad n go. He leaves Friday night for Charleston. Too bad so soon, but at least we get to spend Friday with him. And thank God all went well in boot camp : ) Best wishes to all.
