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 DramaboysMom on December 31, 2010 at 7:26pm: Alrighty,,, staying at the Courtyard. Still not sure if the pooch is coming but at least we will be close! Starting to get excited. We had a sign made for the boys at Christmas from the UPS office. They don't charge for Military signs. Just suggesting if you want to put one up in your hotel room for your SR- (soon to be Sailors ;-) ) Thank you all.... Happy New Year!

Comment by kale on December 31, 2010 at 6:19pm: Hi. My daughter was on Indiana on Christmas day in the Adopt a Sailor Program, where I can find pictures taken that day?

Comment by diannep on December 31, 2010 at 5:48pm: Karla. Yes it is. You should be in your seats by 7:30....you will still find seating then. There are 11 divisions in this group...car line may be long. They don't let anyone in until 6:30. The shuttles will pass the car lines...just make sure you are on that first shuttle though.

Comment by AshJewell on December 31, 2010 at 4:13pm: My crew and I are staying at the Navy Lodge, which is 5 minutes from base, and we are leaving at 5:45 to get in line at the gate, by 6am.

Comment by Karla~ (S 12 D 042 - PIR 1/14) on December 31, 2010 at 4:00pm: Printed the parking pass! Still not sure whether to drive or take the shuttle to PIR!? Shuttle at Quality Inn doesn't leave til 7am. Is that early enough to get there?

Comment by AshJewell on December 31, 2010 at 2:22pm: I figured it out!!! My recruit gave me a new password, saying the password on the form letter wasnt right, but HE WAS WRONG! the password on the form letter was correct! Thank goodness I can still use my brain (= I printed out 6 copies and am going to put them in various places, just in case!

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 31, 2010 at 1:39pm: Ignore my question below, I just downloaded the pass and entered my password and it worked.

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 31, 2010 at 1:31pm: Whoohoo ~ printed our gate passess to enter the base on graduation; 13 more days to go!!

HOOYAH ~ PIR 1/14/11

Wishing everyone safe travels and celebrations today/tonight!

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 31, 2010 at 1:30pm: Is the password changed for all the divisions graduating on 1/14/2011.

Comment by diannep on December 31, 2010 at 12:55pm: Yes, only your recruit can give you the password. Don't bother calling the Public Affairs Office as they usually won't give that out. The only possibility is if you give them the old password...then possibly they will give you the new one. But usually they tell you to get it from your recruit. So don't forget to ask when they call !
