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 Tamme on December 31, 2010 at 12:53pm: I was able to get our passes today with the same password provided in the form letter.

Comment by tobermorey on December 31, 2010 at 12:50pm: My son is ship 07 div 47 and he sent me a letter saying that the password had been changed from the one on the form letter.Check with your recruit, they may be sending you a new password

Comment by diannep on December 31, 2010 at 12:37pm: Yes, Debbie...You will need the gate pass if you drive onto the base for any reason. The only time you don't need it is for PIR shuttle.

Ash, when you say you have the NEW password, did he change divisions? Is this the one in the form letter? Have you tried downloading Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to see if that works for it?

Comment by DramaboysMom on December 31, 2010 at 12:17pm: Got the Pass.. Danged printer isn't working... Always something.

Comment by AshJewell on December 31, 2010 at 10:33am: I tried accessing my gate pass, but it says my password is wrong. I know I have the NEW password and I tried all caps and not caps and it doesnt seem to be working. Is anyone else having trouble?!?!

Comment by caldwec on December 31, 2010 at 9:43am: My SR already sounds different in her letters! I can't wait to meet her! Lol she sent me some great photos of her and her best friends in BC both male and female. It's odd I could have photos of one of your kids and not even know it!

Comment by Debbie2 on December 31, 2010 at 9:02am: Diannep...will we need a pass to go back and pick up our sailor on Saturday and Sunday after PIR? Just wondering how it works picking up our son throughout the weekend.

Comment by diannep on December 31, 2010 at 8:58am: When getting the gate passes, be sure to type the password in ALL CAPS. If there is a problem, try downloading Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. You can print as many copies of this as you want...I had several...tucked everywhere...to make sure I didn't lose it. If taking the PIR shuttle, you won't need this...but you will when returning your sailor to base after liberty...so I suggest one in the purse, in the car, and in the suitcase!

Comment by bluewarriorlady on December 31, 2010 at 6:14am: Yay!!!!!! 14 more days!!!! I am so excited!!! I can't wait to meet you all and see our SRs at PIR! Lex - this time feels like it is flying! But I agree! I wish it would go a little faster!

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been placed on bedrest for minor contractions -- I am apparently moving around and doing too much! :-( The nesting period has started and for some reason I just can't seem to stop cleaning! Ahh!
