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 Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 7, 2010 at 5:17pm: We're staying at Red Carpet Inn = $60/night. It's 1.5 miles from the main gate and they have a shuttle. We've never been there so we're just hoping for clean!

Comment by diannep on October 7, 2010 at 4:43pm: Nicole: He says it's EASY? That may be a bit of a s t r e t c h . I know that it is easier for those who pay attention and follow directions, but they are for sure challenged. They probably have gas chamber, firefighting, and of course BStations still ahead of them. Have they had Hell Week yet? It is all a great learning experience!

Comment by diannep on October 7, 2010 at 4:38pm: Yes, Lynne, you are absolutely right about the 12 and under needing the b. certificate or s. security card to get into PIR. Sorry if I misled anyone by not clarifying that in my comment!

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 7, 2010 at 4:33pm: hey MJS catch me on the chat so i can give you some ideas.

Comment by Nicole[: [Proud.Navy.Wife] on October 7, 2010 at 4:29pm: Navy lodge is $65 a night.

Comment by Nicole[: [Proud.Navy.Wife] on October 7, 2010 at 4:25pm: yes, we have travel plans, we're only like 6-7 hours away from GL, so we're driving and staying the the Navy Lodge. It's my boyfriend, and this is the first time i've gotten letters! He's doing great, says it's easy, just wouldn't say he liked it lol, I have to give him a neck/back massage when I see him, said he isn't sleeping right hahaha.

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 7, 2010 at 4:13pm: lol! it's all good. i got Alicia's first letter on the 16th of last month and have gotten one every week since then [knock on wood] and as per her letter, she's doing well. How about you? is it your boyfriend or husband that's in BC

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 7, 2010 at 4:10pm: she's in now. you and i have the same PIR date. Have you gotten your travel info?

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on October 7, 2010 at 4:09pm: Ya I got a letter:-) Short and sweet. They are still getting extra IT for talking, but who can stop a room full of Nukes from chatting? Not me. He says phone calls on Sunday, I hope so. Later Gators.
