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 navymom x 2 on October 27, 2010 at 1:12pm: I sent one of my SR checks..yes I thought it would be good for future inquiries!! Now I hope he gets it..if not quess we will be ones that go after PIR to pick up :) Thanks!

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2010 at 1:07pm: navymom: I feel sure that if you put your recruit's name at the top of the check or in the "memo" section, it will be fine. They need to know whose pictures you are paying for :-) ! Glad you heard back! Now I know how to answer that question in the future. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2010 at 1:05pm: Kacey/Jose: No worries on the BStations schedule issue on this site...that is a Facebook thing....shouldn't be on there....not a problem here. The RTC staff is just trying to get people to know not to post on FB with things of that nature. Have to get used to privacy of the military for their security. There are certain things on this site that should not be posted either (last names) and in the fleet, we are not to post deployment dates/places, etc...unless after the fact. So...no worries....we would like to be aware of when these recruits are doing BStations so will post schedules!

Comment by navymom x 2 on October 27, 2010 at 1:04pm: Jose..just got an e-mail back about the check for pictures..he said to make payable to Navy Exchange. I heard it has to be a check with SR name on it though? It will all be good I'm sure..I try not to sweat the small stuff!!

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2010 at 12:57pm: Sandi: That is the chat box up there that you all can use rather than posting back and forth on the board if you like!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 27, 2010 at 12:51pm: Thanks everyone for all the kind thoughts and prayers. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone in this group. You all are a great bunch and I know you will have a fabulous time with your sailors at PIR. Please be safe in your travels and all you do. Cherish each moment like it could be your last and most of all enjoy life to it's fullest. :-)

If you have not received your ribbons, don't fret they have all been shipped or for the late orders are being shipped today. Let me know what you think when they arrive. I really enjoyed making them. :-)

Comment by navymom x 2 on October 27, 2010 at 12:50pm: Sandi I am guilty as well..and I am 15 lbs lighter since my SR left! Guess it hasn't all been bad..don't wish this stress on anyone though!

Comment by shinertxgal(ship 7 div 358) on October 27, 2010 at 11:50am: Lora I am so sorry to hear the news. I am keeping you, your family, him and his family in my prayers. May God Bless - Debbie
