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 September 23, 2010 at 1:44pm: Thanks, Wolf Grrl! Airlines: If you can, take Southwest. You can change dates with no penalty. We just made reservations to visit my father-in-law in November then decided we needed to go in October. We made the date changes and paid 60 cents (some stupid difference in fare between the 2 days!). Southwest rocks! They don't charge for 1 suitcase either.

Hotel: We picked the Red Carpet Inn because it was cheap. We figure it will be clean (we hope!). And they have free shuttle!

Comment by Lynne on September 23, 2010 at 12:58pm: I've put in a few notes to families with recruits in performance divisions in other PIR groups...to see what their experiences were about mail. So, let's wait and see.

Comment by MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on September 23, 2010 at 12:55pm: The 8th.
