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 brandi-S7/DIV357/PIR11/5 on October 27, 2010 at 10:41am: lala so sorry to hear this and thoughts and prayers to both familes from here

Comment by sandi (shp07/div357/PIR11/5) on October 27, 2010 at 10:26am: Oh, so sorry lala to hear that his sister passed away and I know you are right that she was watching over him during battlestations. You and your family have my continued prayers. God watches over us all the time. Thank you for your ribbon efforts and they turned out beautiful, thanks again.

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 27, 2010 at 10:23am: OH WOW!!! Kacey's right. I just saw that status on the page. If you don't have them on your Facebook page here is the link, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 27, 2010 at 9:49am: I just wanted to thank everyone for your continued support and prayers. Our SR (daughters fiancee) had battle stations last night and will be flying home today. He will not participate in the PIR ceremony. Hopefully the weather will be better today and no flights will be grounded. His sister was in a bad car accident Sunday night. She passed away yesterday morning and I am sure she was a special Angel watching over her brother during battle stations last night along with the other soon to be sailors. Please keep all those involved in your prayers. I really appreciate you all.

Comment by Brooklyn on October 27, 2010 at 9:47am: Just got back from Early Voting...if this has started in your state remember to go out and vote!!!

Comment by Kacey(1109M) on October 27, 2010 at 8:53am: Dont be offended I just saw that on FB and thought maybe we need to be aware!

Comment by Kacey(1109M) on October 27, 2010 at 8:52am: not sure if you all follow facebook rtc... but they are being very stern about sharing when battlestations are! they say its a security threat! "Please do not give out specifics about tests, specifically times. We need to get people think early about Operational Security. Although Battle Stations is just a test, while Sailors are in the fleet in a situation like Battle Stations giving out specific times compromises the Sailors safety."

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2010 at 7:24am: Ladies: There is a discrepancy in the 951 BattleStations date. Reported first for Sunday, now for Tuesday. If anyone hears from their recruit about this, please report...or if a phone call is received, please ask.
