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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 24, 2010 at 2:25pm: For all the new ppl to this page. I am happy to help with any questions you have. Some of the things I have experienced: My sailor/daughter was in the choir, she had wisdom teeth pulled, she was a grad and go to Pensacola, she was on a chartered flight, She is an AO, her PIR was in July, her fiancee is in bootcamp now and has PIR Oct 29th, We drove up from NC, we stayed at The Navy Lodge, we hung out at the Gurnee Mall, and as some of you already know I am known as the ribbon queen because I make ribbons to wear to PIR. If you have any questions at all please feel free to send me a friend request. I am happy to help.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 24, 2010 at 2:16pm: Here is a copy of what I posted about the flags. There are some rules about displaying the flag so when you go to the website be sure to check out all the info.

Has anyone ordered their free Blue Star Flag to hang in your window at home? It is available for free to anyone who has a son or daughter serving active duty in the military. I ordered one about 3 or 4 weeks ago and it came today. It is now hanging proudly in my living room window on the front of my home. Here is the link:
