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 Proud Mom on September 6, 2010 at 12:57am: Can I post pictures on here from St Louis - Cardinal Company events this weekend?

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on September 6, 2010 at 12:44am: Welcome new moms & wives! I really tried to take a week off this site, but I'm hopelessly addicted. My sailor is home on leave this week, but he is out visiting friends tonight and I noticed a new PIR group - so wanted to say hello.

@JessicaB - thanks for getting the Grad & Go info posted above!

Must share one quick thing - my son was never a slob, but he wasn't very neat either. He's been home two days and has made his bed before he even comes downstairs! So they really do grow up in boot camp!! Okay, time to go, but I'll be back soon to cheer you guys on.

Comment by Lynne on September 6, 2010 at 12:12am: Welcome new members JM and Michele...glad to have you aboard. From everything I heard Michele sounds like you did a great job with the Cardinal Company events. I am sorry I missed meeting you.

Comment by Lynne on September 5, 2010 at 11:11pm: thank you fro sharing all that...I can't walk...I am working on it and hope to be able to walk some by graduation, so coming to St. Louis just didn't work out for me...so I am excited to see pictures...what is your son's first name. I wonder if our boys know each other.

Comment by Proud Mom on September 5, 2010 at 10:43pm: The day was awesome .. we went to Soldiers Memorial and watched them swear in .. then over to the park right by it for a family picnic .. then walked along the sidewalk as they marched to the Stadium.. along the way some people that were eating at Starbucks outside patio - stood up and clapped & cheered as they marched by.. very cool.. then at the stadium watching them out on the field was great.. then able to see him for about an hour.. they had to be out front by 830.. stood waiting for the bus .. then watched them load and drive away .. he called his wife around 3:30am to say that they had arrived and he should be able to call her in about 3 wks.. all I can say is it was an AMAZING day.. so proud of my son and all the other men there to serve our country!

Comment by Lynne on September 5, 2010 at 6:58pm: Hi his wife....her mom so glad you are here. So who is your recruit. My son is the recruit he is 20 and is on an AE contract so will go to Pensacola from boot. I miss him very much.
