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 Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 22, 2010 at 5:58pm: Luara did he sat all ET was a grad and go??

Comment by ilovecountry on October 22, 2010 at 5:57pm: Laura-
I got a picture too! who knew they could color during basic training! it made me laugh.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 22, 2010 at 5:47pm: Oh almost forgot he sent a sweet picture he had drawn.

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2010 at 5:46pm: Laura, if he is GradNGo to GL, that may be a good thing because you may get overnights with him.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 22, 2010 at 5:21pm: Got a letter today, thank goodness, after missing the call Monday I thought this would be the worst week ever. Looks like he'll be grad and go, but not sure if he's staying in GL or not, I think so. He'll be ET, he's sick with the flu, the food still blows, got a bunch of flags, was looking forward to fire fighting (I think they did that Monday) for a change of pace.

Comment by IndianaMom on October 22, 2010 at 4:56pm: Lynne...I'm in need of two spots also if anyone has extra space on their list. It's for the Grandparents and my father is a former military man so he is sooo looking forward to attending the ceremony. I know Sandi is looking for spots also so I was hoping you might include me in your hunt for spaces! Thank you so much......

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2010 at 4:51pm: MJS: You can take a hotel shuttle to PIR and not need a gate pass. I believe if you don't come on base to get him for liberty, then he would have to leave base with a buddy and return with that buddy which wouldn't work.. So you would need the pass for liberty after PIR day. If he is GradNGo, you won't have an issue as you won't see him after PIR day. Can't you ask your recruit for the password? He should know it.

Comment by Brooklyn on October 22, 2010 at 4:35pm: Lala-- I received my ribbon in the mail today and thank you so much...it is beautiful!

Comment by Lynne on October 22, 2010 at 4:26pm: WE NEED FOUR SPOTS AT PIR...ANY DIVISION WILL DO IT DOESN'T MATTER...THIS IS JUST TO GET IN THE DOOR...IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN SPOT ON YOUR GUEST LIST...PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

Comment by Lynne on October 22, 2010 at 4:21pm: Hey Sandi...guess what I know something you don't know...lol...I know our division is working together to get all our folks on a list..lol they are working together...imagine that to trade names to try and get everyone taken care of..lol
