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 diannep on October 24, 2010 at 2:05pm: Laurel, chances are that your 5th will get in. No guarantees but with ID, probably will. May have to wait until all on the guest list are in. Worst that can happen is that he/she will be held at Visitors Center until after PIR and then will join you.

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on October 24, 2010 at 11:29am: They can get on base but may need to wait to get into PIR. But just have a ID to get on base. Check past post it is all explained.

Comment by laurel on October 24, 2010 at 10:05am: My son graduates on 11/5, Div 951 Ship 2, and there will be five of us flying to Great Lakes. I know that only four may see the PIR, but may the fifth get on base and join us at the NEX once the PIR is finished? Or are they not allowed on base at all? Thanks for your responses.

Comment by diannep on October 24, 2010 at 8:00am: @shoebox: I sure hope that you all can get some extra time with her at the airport on Sat? Many do. They are bussed out early You can get a military gate pass (with ID) and wait at the gate with her. Sometimes they wait several hours for their flights and they enjoy the extra time with family. Even if she is leaving on Fri night (rare, but happens), you all can spend a couple of hours with her out there. Unless she happens to be on a charter flight...then no visits with family. Just something to look into!

Comment by shoebox555 on October 24, 2010 at 12:19am: So excited daughter on shp 7 div 355, she's missing home but really like what sh'e doing. I can't wait to see her. Sad part is she's a GradNGO so we only get the afternoon. :0( but I'll take what I can get. So we're going cut this trip short so we can see her at A school. when she gets Liberty. Been traveling for work and missed her call but Dad got to talk to her. She cried but was happy. She sure has matured in the past 6 weeks.... So where will the meet and greet be?

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2010 at 10:33pm: By the way...the NWU uniform that Jessica posted...I love it! When I visited my son earlier this month, he put it on for work the morning he had to take me back to the airport....it is really a neat uniform and he said it is really comfortable.

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2010 at 10:31pm: ilovecountry. I'm not sure I would send the BStations article to your recruit. Better to let them get all of their info from the RDC's. Just my opinion....

Comment by TCarp0328 on October 23, 2010 at 10:14pm: Hello everyone. When I spoke to my husband this past Monday he told me that he sent out his formal uniform pictures. I was wondering if anyone else is aware of that and if you have received them?? Another week down two more to go until we are in our sailors arms.

Comment by ilovecountry on October 23, 2010 at 6:57pm: What a great article! Do you know if we're allowed to print that out and send it?

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2010 at 6:01pm: Here is an excellent article explaining all about battlestations.
