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."

Hopefully today will be the day to get letters for those who didn't get them this week. Did you guys see the new Destroyer Ship the navy sailed on monday. It's called USS Zumwalt. Check it out on the internet. Wow ! It looks impressive!

I got a call from my SR ! I think just Div 014 got to call. Since they have done well, they earned a call and the chance to go get something to eat besides mess hall food. On base. I was able to find out quite a bit from him. I don't want to talk about it on this site cause I understand the PO's have a field day with this site! Be careful what you say ladies....

Hi just wanted to make sure everyone saw the post from diannep a couple days ago in the main forum section of our PIR group:

Just a reminder, ladies, since you may get BattleStations dates soon from your SRs that we cannot post the dates on this site nor on FB. We can private message or post that we have a date for Div ___ and others can friend request/message you for it. The no posting was a request from RTC since they want you all to practice OPSEC and pretend that BattleStations is happening on a deployed ship.

Yeah 3 more weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
